Jack Dangermond Invites Discussion on Climate Change Adaptation

"GeoDesign is a framework for understanding the complex relationships between human-designed settlements and the changing environment," said Dangermond. "I invite environmental professionals who use GIS in their work to visit the Spatial Roundtable to discuss how organizations and businesses should use this technology to respond to climate change."

Dangermond began the climate change adaptation conversation by asking, "How can GeoDesign best be applied to climate adaptation in the next 15 years?" A number of thought leaders have already joined the conversation.

• Dr. Wim Bastiaanssen, scientist and cofounder of eLEAF
• Dr. Elena Bennett from McGill University
• Dr. Nguyen Huu Ninh, environmental researcher and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize
• Andrea Feunekes, founding partner and co-CEO of Remsoft, Inc.
