Title

  • GIS Day 2020: Mapping the Pandemic Cases, Traces & Mutations

Summary

  • For almost everyone in the world, the last few months have been unlike any experienced in their lifetimes. The current public health crisis, spawned by the outbreak of COVID-19, has shown that viral pathogens pose an ever-present danger to global human health and economic stability. For cartographers and epidemiologists tracking the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, trying to understand its evolution, zoonotic spillover and mutations, as well as managing the distribution of billions of doses of a potential vaccine and PPE, the virus has presented a geospatial analysis challenge like none other. Speakers for GIS DAY 2020 will look closely at how mapping and GIS technologies have been used to help public health officials, emergency rooms, epidemiologists and the general public, as they all struggle to understand the spread of the disease and to allocate precious resources. Program; Keynote: Este Geraghty, Chief Medical Officer at ESRI; The Role of GIS in Fighting the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic Technical Papers:; Ensheng Dong, Center for System Science & Engineering, Johns Hopkins University; Historic First: Mapping the Pandemic in Real Time Mike Schoelen, ESRI Health and Human Services; Driven by GIS: A Resilient Supply Chain for COVID-19 John Hessler, Library of Congress & Johns Hopkins University; More Than Just Cases: Mapping the Mutations of SARS-CoV-2
