UAS Researcher Hopes Map Can Aid Pandemic Response
September 2, 2020
A recent article published in the Juneau Empire details a COVID19 response project funded by ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ Center ICE.
Most maps of ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ show governmental boundaries and geographic features, but offer little insight into where people live or which places might be especially vulnerable to pandemic or in need of relief.
A new project made by John Harley, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ Southeast, attempts to show exactly that via an interactive map of the state that identifies the pockets of populations scattered throughout the state and identifies potentially at-risk areas using factors such as age, financial security and more.
