Craig McCabe graduated this summer with his Master's
Degree in Geography. Craig's thesis looked at the effects
of data complexity and map abstraction on the perception
of spatio-temporal patterns in animated maps. Using
a 10-year dataset of weekly measles infections in Niger,
Craig administered an experiment that employed temporal
aggregation and moving-window averaging approaches in
combination with geographic and schematic map representations
to measure participants' abilities to complete a series
of map-reading tasks. During his 2 years as a research
assistant at Penn State, Craig collaborated closely
with the Center
for Infectious Disease Dynamics to create novel
methods of exploring patterns and possible environmental
drivers of measles epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa.
