NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATIONGEOGRAPHY SPATIAL SCIENCES (GSS) PROGRAMABSTRACTThis award will support efforts to bring together scholars from around the world for two mobility and movement-related conferences at the University of Texas-Austin and Ohio State University. NSF support will facilitate the participation of up to 50 scholars and graduate students from the U.S. and other countries. The two conferences are aimed at stimulating research that draws from research communities that focus on human mobility and animal movement ecology. These two communities previously have not interacted extensively, so the conferences are expected to facilitate interactions across the research domains to enhance understanding of frameworks, approaches, and methods that are useful in studying varied complex, dynamic, spatiotemporal systems. The conferences will provide opportunities to share latest research and advance knowledge about understanding spatial behaviors and integrating research opportunities between the two domains. The conferences will stimulate research that ranges across a broad range of topics, including disease spread; social networks; information diffusion and its impacts on privacy and identity; knowledge transfer, and urban, social, and ecosystem dynamics. They also will facilitate scientific collaboration among young, underrepresented researchers who may not ordinarily have such networking opportunities.These conferences will bring together a unique blend of scholars from the human mobility community, such as transportation, urban science, sociology, and public health and those researchers associated with movement ecology, a nascent but growing research area in the ecological sciences. The conferences will take place at a time when scientific communities are just beginning to focus on movement and interactions motivated by advances in location-aware technologies and high spatial resolution global datasets. The first conference will focus on measuring and analyzing interactions among mobile entities. The second conference will focus on analyzing mobility data in the geographic context. The events will include a balanced mix of keynote addresses from top scholars in the fields, interdisciplinary research presentations to facilitate interactions amongst the diverse set of scientists, and breakout group activities to delve deeper into specific topical areas.

地理空间科学（GSS）计划该奖项将支持来自世界各地的学者在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校和俄亥俄州州立大学举行的两次流动性和运动相关会议。 NSF的支持将促进来自美国和其他国家的多达50名学者和研究生的参与。 这两个会议旨在促进研究，从研究社区，重点是人类流动性和动物运动生态学。 这两个社区以前没有广泛的互动，所以会议预计将促进跨研究领域的互动，以提高对研究各种复杂，动态，时空系统有用的框架，方法和方法的理解。 会议将提供机会分享最新的研究和先进的知识，了解空间行为和整合两个领域之间的研究机会。 这些会议将促进研究，涉及广泛的主题，包括疾病传播;社交网络;信息传播及其对隐私和身份的影响;知识转移，以及城市，社会和生态系统动态。 这些会议还将促进年轻的、代表性不足的研究人员之间的科学合作，这些研究人员通常可能没有这样的网络机会。这些会议将汇集来自人类移动社区的学者，如交通、城市科学、社会学和公共卫生以及与运动生态学有关的研究人员，这是生态科学中一个新兴但不断发展的研究领域。 这些会议将在科学界刚刚开始关注由位置感知技术和高空间分辨率全球数据集的进步所推动的运动和互动的时候举行。 第一次会议将侧重于测量和分析移动的实体之间的交互。 第二次会议将侧重于分析地理环境中的移动数据。 这些活动将包括来自该领域顶级学者的主题演讲，跨学科研究报告的平衡组合，以促进不同科学家之间的互动，以及分组活动，以深入研究特定的主题领域。
