Webinar Series on COVID-19 Impact Analysis

As a joint effort by scholars and professionals from the Center for Geographical Analysis at Harvard University, the Geo-Computation Center for Social Sciences at Wuhan University, the China Data Institute, the NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, RMDS Lab, and some other institutions, an initiative on “Resources for COVID-19 Study” was sponsored by the China Data Lab project (http://chinadatalab.net). The objectives of this project are: (1) to provide data support for the spatial study of COVID-19 at local, regional and global levels with information collected and integrated from different sources; (2) to facilitate quantitative research on spatial spreading and impacts of COVID-19 with advanced methodology and technology; (3) to promote collaborative research on the spatial study of COVID-19 on the Spatial Data Lab and Dataverse platforms; and (4) to build research capacity for future collaborative projects. The project has sponsored two webinar series on Covid-19 data and modeling (see links to recorded webinars below). This is the 3rd webinar series with a focus on the impact analysis of COVID-19 pandemic.
