students to achieve maximum successes in their careers or research disciplines.Background technologies and the anticipated future of the fieldGeospatial Technologies (GTs) have evolved from initial beginnings as simple computer-basedmap making tools to complex visual and computational environments. GTs are used world-wide in diverse application domains ranging from community planning to the exploration ofouter space. The increased use of GTs has led the development of new tools, techniques andtheory that have imbued GTs with new forms of geographic visualization, support for spatialthinking, and opportunities for research and education. It is an exciting time for GT researchand education. Industry standard, commercial desktop Geographic
