The Yale Center for Geospatial Solutions (YCGS) is a new initiative at Yale University with the mission to provide a world class, user-centered infrastructure supporting research and training in advanced geospatial techniques. The Executive Director (ED) will be responsible for creating and managing the Yale Center for Geospatial Solutions (YCGS) focused on providing new research, teaching and engagement opportunities in support of academic work in Geospatial Solutions (GS) across campus, and advance university-wide collaboration, support and innovation with the goal of developing new...
The Center for Science Education at Tufts University is seeking someone with experience in spatial data analysis to assist with analysis of data collected by undergraduates and high school students through a national course-based research initiative. The aim is to identify “hotspots” where resistance levels are high and could pose a threat for multi-drug resistant infections in humans. We are particularly interested in investigating...

Abstract: Travel time estimation is crucial for several geospatial research studies, particularly healthcare accessibility studies. This paper presents a comparative study of six methods for drive time estimation on geospatial big data in the USA. The comparison is done with respect to the cost, accuracy, and scalability of these methods. The six methods examined are Google Maps API, Bing Maps API, Esri Routing Web Service, ArcGIS Pro Desktop, OpenStreetMap NetworkX (OSMnx), and...
