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.
Share your geospatial analysis, related internship experiences, geospatial course projects, maps, and other creative endeavors with the broader community at the 2023 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)!
Poster abstracts are available in this linked document.
