Please join us for the 2019 Mattson-New York Times Lecture
Presented by The Osher Map Library and Smith Center for Cartographic
Education

The 2019 Mattson-New York Times lecture, "Mapmaking in the Age of
Artificial Intelligence (AI)," will be presented by Dr. Tim Wallace,
Creative Director at Descartes Labs, and recent graphics editor and
geographer for the New York Times.

*March 14th, 6pm-7:30pm, Hannaford Hall, USM (Portland)*

Description: The art and science of mapmaking are in the midst of a giant
leap forward, thanks to machine learning algorithms that are making quick
work of once-impossible cartographic efforts. Because of AI, features like
buildings, trees, wind turbines and wildfires can all be mapped across vast
expanses and at great speed. And, lucky for us, geographers, cartographers,
and storytellers are taking note of the new and evolving capabilities--and
digging in.

Please join us for what promises to be a fascinating lecture.

*Free and Open to the Public--we just ask that folks RSVP here:*
