Space-time prisms, I wish I knew how to quit you
On May 29th, I was honored to receive the 2015 Research Award from the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science.
Below is a link to the PDF of the slides for my presentation upon receiving the award at the UCGIS annual symposium in Alexandria, VA. I review 25 years of scholarship on space-time prisms by myself and others, and try to explain why I find those things so fascinating. It also contains references to key papers in the literature:

Again, I am honored to receive this award, and happy to be part of the UCGIS community!
