Santiago Lopez receives Digital Scholarship Faculty Fellowship for work on a Geospatial Hub Project

IAS faculty member Santiago Lopez has received a 2022-23 Digital Scholarship Faculty Fellowship. The DSF Fellowship supports faculty in developing and implementing a digital scholarship project over the course of the 2021-2022 academic year with support from the Library's Head of Digital Scholarship and Library staff.

Lopez will develop an open digital collection of curated geospatial datasets that students, faculty, and the larger community will have access to for exploration, research, planning, and decision making. He will collaborate with students on a user-friendly on-line portal to showcase digital cartographic work at UW Bothell. Students will assist with the development of digital maps and appropriate metadata, and perform basic quality control of existing digital geospatial datasets.
