 I'm Carolyn Hotquist, an adjunct instructor at Penn State and an alumni of the Geography Department. My work is on integrating physical and social systems to better understand hazards. I work on geospatial data technologies and I hope to help you develop your skills in these areas through courses in spatial data science, GIS, and programming. I'm a third generation alumni at Penn State and as a sports obsessed family that's typical in this tradition, I enjoy swimming, soccer, and Latin dancing. I hope to work with you in class.
