"This geospatial stuff is going to get bigger, faster than anybody thinks."
Kevin Kelly, former WIRED editor

"Maps become a user interface to many things [...]
Geography is another way, a different way, to organise information."
Financial Times 21.5.2008

"Essentially, all models are wrong but some are useful."
George Box

"We have to do better at producing tools to support the whole research cycle—from data capture and data curation to data analysis and data visualization."
Jim Gray 2007

Teaching and supervision

• Foundations of Spatial Information
• Advanced Topics in GIScience
• Spatial Information Research Projects
• PhD (on request):
  I am offering to supervise research projects in the area of spatial human-computer interaction, spatio-temporal data mining, geographic information retrieval, intelligent transportation systems and in the general area of geographic information science -- if you are interested in a PhD under my supervision have a look at my publications and relate to my interests.
