  1. Spatial thinking Fundamental spatial concepts atomic elements of spatial reasoning domain-independent? space-independent? lists Union of published lists 130 Relationships specialization/generalization formalization, metrics overlaps with

  2. Geospatial technologies • Implementations of spatial concepts • formalized • Legacies • 510 procedures in the ArcGIS 9.2 toolkit • no organizing principles • the potential for a new user interface • Technology is becoming transparent • in a world of Google Earth what does everyone need to know?

  3. Intellectual merit • Geographic space is familiar • a widespread belief that intuition is sufficient • science of the familiar • Are there spatial concepts that are not intuitive? • and that need to be learned, understood? • conditional on education level? • what are the fundamental spatial concepts that are not intuitive to undergraduates? • in specified discipline? • how would you identify a spatial thinker?

  4. Other spaces • the human brain • molecular chemistry • the cosmos • nanoscience

  5. UCSB is spatial
