Advanced GIS for Public Health workshop is designed to provide an introduction to GIS users who have an interest in spatial data analysis and the opportunity to explore more advanced topics in GIS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PREREQUISITES<\/strong>: It is expected that each attendee has a basic understanding of the ArcPro software and can conduct basic geoprocessing steps such as attribute and spatial joins and queries. <span>A video tutorial on the basics of ArcPro will be made available to attendees two weeks before the session to allow to practice before the workshop begins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio<\/strong>: <span>Dr. Lane\u2019s research focus are in the field of air pollution, built environment, urbanization and impacts of extreme weather on health in local, national and international settings. His expertise in big-data and spatial research has led to the development of novel methods that integrate geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing data and time-activity algorithms to improve exposure assessment and epidemiology. Dr. Lane also is director of the environmental health doctoral training program and teaches multiple GIS courses. Dr. Lane works on a number of research centers related to geospatial data-sharing and large data processing for health studies and is the Associate Director of the BUSPH Center for Health Data Science; and on the NIEHS funded CAFE Community of Practice and NIA funded Gateway Exposome Coordinating Center of Practice Research Coordinating Center.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAdvanced GIS for Public Health Workshop\u201d Date: Wednesday, June 10, 2026 Time: 9:00 AM &#8211; 12:00 PM ET Format: Online Event (Zoom) Registration is now closed.
