Tablet-Based Mobile Gis Approaches To Archaeological Data Collection, Ian Lindsay Nov 2014

Tablet-Based Mobile Gis Approaches To Archaeological Data Collection, Ian Lindsay

Purdue GIS Day

Over the past 15 years, archaeological research in northern Armenia has documented the unique evolution of prehistoric complex societies in the South Caucasus, where complex, fortress-centered institutions emerged during the Late Bronze Age (c.1500-1150 BC) not from settled farming villages—as is more typical of archaic states—but from mobile herding communities. As the costs of archaeological fieldwork continue to rise, resulting in shorter and more intensive field seasons, researchers are leveraging new technologies to improve the efficiency and accuracy of data collection in the field. An increasingly popular solution in archaeology is the use of “paperless” site recording strategies that enhance …


From Social Media Data To Human Behavior Patterns: Analyzing Spatio-Temporal Dynamics Of Tweets In Midwest College Towns, Yue Li, Jie Shan Nov 2014

From Social Media Data To Human Behavior Patterns: Analyzing Spatio-Temporal Dynamics Of Tweets In Midwest College Towns, Yue Li, Jie Shan

Twitter, the most popular micro-blogging site, having over 500 million registered users as of 2012 and creating over 340 million tweets per day, has caught the attention of socio-geographic researchers. With its availability from mobile phones, Twitter allows users to send messages with their geographic coordinates. Thus, with respect to the huge quantity and large diversity of crowds publishing tweets, massive valuable geosocial knowledge can be extracted, which can provide important implications for various applications, such as human geography, urban science, location-based services, targeted advertising, content delivery networks, and social media research. This study aims to uncover human behavior patterns, …


Great Lakes Basin Analysis Using L-Thia, Ibrahim D. Hinds, Larry Theller Nov 2014

Great Lakes Basin Analysis Using L-Thia, Ibrahim D. Hinds, Larry Theller
