Description:
Since its initial outbreak in late 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has swiped across the world and is still posing threats to public health for countries across the globe. From the beginning of this pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus, scholars worldwide have been trying to deploy different sorts of geospatial technologies to advance our understanding of this novel infectious virus. Despite accumulating more knowledge about COVID-19 than three years ago, the ongoing evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been posing all kinds of new challenges to communities around the world. Therefore, this session would like to provide a platform for scholars to present their studies on characterizing the effect from the COVID-19 and proposing new approaches on tackling the challenges from COVID-19 in the future based on lessons we have learned in the past.
This session is part of the AAG Symposium on Geospatial Approaches to Pressing Grand Challenges: Global Pandemics, Climate Change, and Food Security.
