Pierce Greenberg, PhD, assistant professor in the Cultural and Social Studies Department, and five students from his Introduction to Geographic Information Systems class presented at the Nebraska GIS/LIS Symposium this week in La Vista, Nebraska.
The students’ poster titles run a unique and interesting gamut of topics:
“A GIS analysis of how open water and wetland habitats change with drought in the Nebraska Sandhills” – junior Brian Newton
“Inefficient Landing Patterns and Sites for a New Airport in New York City” – junior Cameron Nielsen
“Agricultural Production and Food Insecurity in Nebraska” – senior Casey Allen
“Where is the Environmental Justice?” – senior Lizzie Hudson (pictured above)
“Refugees, Poverty, and Income Segregation in Omaha” – junior Owen Wurst
Additionally, Greenberg presented a poster titled “The Lasting Impact of Redlining on Racial Segregation in Omaha” - which received a third place prize in the project showcase.
