GIScience as an Interdisciplinary Bridge in Indigenous Health Equity
Presenter:Daniel Beene
Date:05-20-2022
Time:8:25AM-9:35AM
Location:Zoom
GIS and geographic theories can help bridge a crucial gap in interdisciplinary research projects. Geography is uniquely poised to offer critical and practical analytical support, wrangle spatial data and relate them to other datasets, and ground community-based science within the communities it aims to serve. In the context of the Navajo Nation, a key concern

Time:3:30PM-4:00PM
Location:Zoom
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a proinflammatory condition that can impact the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, thereby increasing risk for thrombotic and thromboembolic events (TTE). However, little is known about the impact of diabetes status on risk for TTEs during SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this US-based, multicenter

Analysis of polygenic selection in purebred and crossbred pig genomes using Generation Proxy Selection Mapping
Presenter:Caleb Grohmann
Date:04-28-2022
Time:3:30PM-4:30PM
Location:Zoom
Background Artificial selection on quantitative traits using selection indices in commercial livestock breeding populations causes changes in allele frequency over time, termed selection signatures, at causal loci and other surrounding genomic regions. Researchers and managers of pig breeding programs are motivated to understand the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity across genetic lines, breeds, and populations using

Detecting formation and growth of refugee / displaced person camps in the Ukraine crisis: Assisting first-phase humanitarian response using satellite imagery
Presenter:Aaron Wesley
Date:04-14-2022
Time:4:00PM-4:30PM
Location:Zoom
Amid the worst population displacement crisis in Europe since World War 2, governments and international organizations have struggled with the massive task of tracking and providing aid to Ukrainian refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
