In March 2018, Molly Burhans presented a lecture titled Making Land Work for Good at Colorado State University’s Geospatial Centroid. The talk focused on harnessing the power of geospatial technology to address critical global challenges, including sustainable land use, conservation, and climate resilience. Burhans shared insights into her groundbreaking work in cartography, data science, and ecclesiastical geography, demonstrating how geospatial tools can drive innovative solutions for environmental stewardship and equitable land management. The lecture inspired attendees to explore the potential of geospatial systems in creating sustainable and socially impactful outcomes.
