Congratulations\u00a0to Dr. Jia Lu of Geosciences, she received a grant from the National Science Foundation ($149,999)!The project will train students from Valdosta State University with advanced spatiotemporal computing research and technology skills to fulfill such needed skills set in critical service activities such as telecommunication and software design for geospatial applications.\u00a0The grant will fund 10 students working with faculty on real-world geospatial research projects. Students \u00a0will present projects during an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., receive an NSF Training Certificate, and publish with faculty. Building a spatiotemporal thinking and computing skill is of critical importance for timely responses to regional and global challenges and providing life-saving information to first responders by analyzing spatiotemporal data related to a hurricane.
