At the junction of Computer Science and Geographic Information Science, GIScience lecturer Dr. Ben Adams is uniquely placed to witness and comment on blockchain technology's convergence with geographic information science. Explore how the merging of these two disciplines can help improve our lives or how their unintended consequences might make things worse. Listen for his subtle, yet profound, comments on privacy and data quality. For all aspiring “geochain” researchers, take note of his a call for articles for The Journal of Spatial Information Science at the end of the podcast. Enjoy.
