[Janet Reyes]

Hello everyone,

Please find the notes from our October 15 meetup attached.

The meetup recording is here
<https://ucr.zoom.us/rec/share/bMrycWtmMZftB2tNi6RZ3H8QpcSubl7I-c9AVKwTbprCypv9oqWFjICJYpuNVMwo.j0mXpTtKAJYVfCKJ>.
The passcode to view is    G4s?&35Q

Many thanks to Professor Ahmed Eldawy, who shared about his research into
improving how Generative AI can answer questions with a spatial component.
I encourage everyone to view the recording for Dr. Eldawy's clear and
relatable presentation!

*Your* upcoming opportunities to give a presentation include (1) UC GIS Week
<https://t.e2ma.net/click/0h2xvh/k510m1s/g6b2ttb>, (the deadline to submit
a proposal is tomorrow!) and (2) a Geospatial/GIS meetup in January,
February, or May 2026. Please contact me if you are interested in the
latter.

Our next meetup will be on Wednesday, November 12 (the day after the
Veteran's Day holiday). EEOB graduate student Gary Qin will share about *Using
QGIS in freshwater health assessment of the Santa Ana River watershed*.

Best,


*Janet Reyes*
