Everything is great in our world, right?  Not!  Our world faces significant challenges, from water quality and quantity, to weather and climate, natural hazards, energy, human health, economic inequalities, urban sprawl, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, food security, transportation, and many more.  These challenges grow increasingly serious, complex, are global in nature, and affect our everyday lives.  They all are also spatial–they occur somewhere, and often exhibit spatial patterns that can be mapped in 2D and 3D over space and time.  Hence, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the maps and data that they can generate can be applied to understand and solve these problems.  Join Joseph Kerski as we discuss why and how the use of GIS is critical to solving these challenges and bringing us and our communities to a more sustainable future.
