While I was at the Esri 2015 user conference, I had the privilege of meeting with Jim Baumann, one of Esri’s writers, and shared with him the story of what we do in ExCiteS. Esri has been a big supporter of our work and is a pioneer in Citizen Science initiatives using geospatial technologies, so they decided to publish an article about us in the Winter 2016 edition of ArcNews:
It is a continuing honour to work with the brilliant people that I work with and I’m happy to be contributing to projects that seek to help communities in various causes.
Patrick Rickles is a full time Research Associate at University College London for the Extreme Citizen Science (ExCiteS) research group.

He is also a part-time PhD student researching how people learn and how we may better teach Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through interdisciplinary applications to aid in its successful uptake and application to analyses.
Patrick is also working on his PhD (part time), researching education techniques for efficiently and effectively teaching Geographic Information Systems in Interdisciplinary Research.
