Congrats to ⁠the authors of this VERY important new article, focusing on a more inclusive, next-generation approach to higher ed #GIS & #GIScience education

"Rethinking GIScience Education in an Age of Disruptions" is #OpenAccess from onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

#geosky #gischat

Ternary chart from the article of the general foci of GIS/GIScience courses with varying emphasis on GIS as a tool, GIScience concepts, or topics and applications. Courses near the middle blend all three foci, while those on the edges focus on two, and those at the points focus on one. Note: Exact placement of courses on the chart varies according to how instructors design and teach their courses. Therefore, placement is intended to be for general and illustrative purposes only.

In a time of technological and societal disruptions, GIScience education should maintain a focus on who, what, and why courses and content are being taught, while GIScience pedagogy should center on problem-based learning, be open and accelerate open science, and cultivate ethical reasoning and practices.

British Antarctic Survey 🐧 @bas.ac.uk · Dec 26

As we're still within the auspices of Christmas, please enjoy the range of greetings cards that were sent from the British Antarctic Survey teams across Antarctica.

First up: Halley Research Station, which is on the Brunt Ice Shelf.

They seem to have an additional visitor? 🎅🏼

Around 30 people stand against a snow cottage front that has been calved into the front of a large snow drift. They have photoshopped Santa walking behind them towards one of the snow chimneypots.
