Welcome to the AAG-UCGIS Summer School! This event brings together graduate students, early career scholars, and experts from a variety of disciplines to learn and collaborate in developing novel solutions to complex problems and to take advantage of geospatial data science and cutting-edge scientific advances and technical capabilities of cyberGIS (e.g., CyberGIS-Jupyter and Virtual Roger). We hope this Summer School opens up new horizons in your research programs, and that you will share what you have learned at your home institutions through your future research and education activities.
