that are making a difference in our society.
Join us for a Reception of Map Heads in San Diego's
premier visualization facility.
and Preview of a new program
The GENI initiative focuses on the interconnection of electric networks
between nations and tapping abundant renewable energy. The challenge for planners and
renewable developers is to design and build in the best place for energy production
while minimizing transmission access, O&M costs and environmental impact.
This new GIS mapping tool enables decision-makers to identify optimal renewable locations
and use key variable sliders to narrow the search:
renewable potential, access to transmission, distance to load centers. Date: Tuesday June 28 Time: 6 - 8:30 pmLocation: World Resources SimCenter1088 Third Ave. San Diego CA 92101
The SIMCenter is dedicated to advancing mapping knowledge,
sharing projects and learning how to use open source tools and data sets.
We invite you to join us, bring your own experience and ideas on how to use the World Resources SIMCenter to surround you in maps so we can make better decisions
"The SIMCenter is the best public venue in San Diego to visualize options, share detailed maps and have your decision-makers see and experience why geography matters."
Arnaud is a graduate student in GIS, a researcher at the Center for Information Convergence and Strategy at SDSU, and a GIS consultant for GENI and the SIMCenter. Recently arriving from France, Arnaud graduated in Geography with honors. He is now working on his Masters thesis, in which he investigates road infrastructures as an indicator of human and economic development at a world scale. Aside from his academic activity, Arnaud became a volunteer at GENI with the aim to participate to one of the organization's missions: accelerating the transition to clean energy. In order to do so, he recently developed a new kind of renewable energy visualization tool, which helps identify optimal solar and wind resource sites for development.
