DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Cynthia Brewer\, professor of geography\, Penn S
 tate UniversityThe lecture topic is "Making Beautiful Maps Using GIS Tools
 ."Maps are made using GIS tools. And map designs are applied to an entire 
 town or country or continent\, rather than working only within a single pa
 ge or screen layout. That challenge means the combinations of symbols and 
 labels are set up to create a clear vision of many possible geographies fo
 r map readers. The talk will be about how to make beautiful maps.Her resea
 rch and teaching focus is cartographic design. She has authored more than 
 30 peer-reviewed articles and 60 additional publications and cartographic 
 design resources\, generating more than 6\,000 citations. Brewer has autho
 red four books\, including the popular "Designing Better Maps" with a 2nd 
 edition published in 2016. She was an affiliate faculty member at the U.S.
  Geological Survey (USGS) Center of Excellence for Geospatial Information 
 Science (CEGIS)\, and in 2013 she received the Henry Gannett Award for Exc
 eptional Contributions to Topographic Mapping from the USGS. She is also r
 ecognized as a distinguished teacher and received the College of Earth and
  Mineral Sciences (EMS) Mitchell Award for Innovative Teaching in 2005.The
  Professor Donald W. Meinig Undergraduate Lecture honors the pivotal geogr
 aphical work of Maxwell Professor Emeritus Donald W. Meinig\, a member of 
 the Syracuse University Geography Department from 1959 until his retiremen
 t in 2005.
