  27. Using GIS and GPS to help promote safe water H20 1B: Safe Water for 1 Billion people: http://web.mit.edu/watsan/ Safe Water World http://globalchallenge.mit.edu/teams/view/210

  28. Cartagen http://cartagen.org/find/cambridge,-ma Cartagen is an MIT Media lab project that renders OSM and other data in a HTML5 Canvas element dynamically on the client-side.

  29. Geospatial.mit.edu • Ongoing projects: • Smart city and smart grid • Anti-counterfeiting in supply chains • Grid computing • Geonumerics research in multicore • Integration of 3 research labs: • MIT Auto-ID Lab and Geonumerics Group • MIT Center for GRID Computing • MIT Intelligent Engineering Systems Lab Working to advance geospatial capabilities and address the “Big Data Problem” Their integrated mission is to deploy a next generation open source geospatial platform, which provides more granular analytic capabilities and faster processing for complex queries by utilizing parallel processing capabilities (grid computing, GPU, and multicore).

  30. A few more examples • Reconstructing sea surface temperatures over the last 10,000 years • Mapping industrial zones in Boston for potential redevelopment planning • Development of a landslide hazard map for the island of Puerto Rico • Cognitively inspired direction giving • Office rent and labor availability in the Chicago Metro Area • Energy consumption and smart growth in Massachusetts • Mapping access to safe water in Ghana

  31. Collaboration = key • Sharing • Ideas • Best practices • Instructional materials • Geoportal development • Software • Metadata • Data • and much more
