Zellner to Keynote International Spatial Analysis Conference
Urban Planning and Policy Associate Professor and Director of the UIC Urban Data Visualization Center, Moira Zellner will give the keynote address at the International Conference on Spatial Analysis and Modeling on September 8, 2018 at the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.
In addition to the keynote, Zellner will also give a seminar on modeling the reciprocal relationship between land cover decisions and water table dynamics in flat agricultural areas at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology on September 10.
Zellner has served as primary investigator and co-investigator for multi-disciplinary projects studying how specific policy, technological, and behavioral changes can effectively address a range of complex social and environmental problems, where interaction effects make responsibilities and burdens unclear. Her research also examines the value of complexity-based modeling for participatory policy exploration and social learning with stakeholders. She teaches a variety of workshops on complexity-based modeling of socio-ecological systems, for training of both scientists and decision-makers.
