'gSmart' Master's Thesis defense at the University of Salzburg

Congratulations! Aigerim Mussayeva successfully defended her Master's thesis entitled 'Online Atlas for Central Asia' supervised by Dr. Manfred Mittlboeck, on January 13, 2016. Prototype 'OAOA Atlas' elements developed for this thesis can be accessed online at www.caatlas.com.


Many congratulations from the gSmart project office, we are very proud since Aigerim is the first gSmart scholar graduating from a full degree program! Her study experience can be sampled from her e-portfolio documenting some highlights of her study period at the University of Salzburg, Interfaculty Department of Geoinformatics (International MSc AGI).

Looking forward to GIS Day '15 with SDI

Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) now are serving as the foundation for most geospatial documentation, analyses and communication. To demonstrate the enormous wealth and width of spatial information today available through SDI services, ACA*GIScience has compiled and published a demonstrator application highlighting Central Asia, now available via
