Program & Students Abstracts
The OGIS Symposium is an annual event held at Virginia Tech University Libraries where Virginia Tech researchers gather to reflect on the geospatial research that has occurred throughout the University over the last year.
Broad applications of geographic information technology (GIT): geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and the global positioning system (GPS) through applied and theoretical research, outreach, and education in direct collaboration with the federal government, Virginia’s industries, state and local governments, and Virginia Tech faculty.
Seth Peery is Senior GIS Architect in the Enterprise Systems unit of the Virginia Tech Division of Information Technology.
Seth manages the technology stack supporting the scalable storage, sharing, and dissemination of GIS data, maps and apps - so that you don't have to. The value proposition of his small but dedicated unit is to lower barriers to the use of GIS at an institutional scale, make faculty more competitive in their research, embrace geospatial methodologies in teaching and learning across the disciplines, further the outreach missions of the university, and improve its internal operations. His team supports GIS server infrastructure, integration between GIS and other enterprise information systems, application development and advanced spatial analysis. From ArcIMS to ArcGIS Online, from the datacenter to the cloud, he has evolved the campus's GIS infrastructure in concert with the waves of innovation in computing over time that are then applied towards geospatial problems. He represents the university through the ESRI Innovation Program, and works to keep Virginia Tech at the forefront of the geospatial state of the art within our peer institutions.
Share your geospatial analysis, related internship experiences, geospatial course projects, maps, and other creative endeavors with the broader community at the 2022 Virginia Tech OGIS Symposium. This year's poster presentation showcase will provide students with the opportunity to share and present their creative talents, network with their peers and professionals, and potentially earn cash prizes in the process (both undergraduate and graduate categories)!
