Returning to the Geography Department in Edinburgh, Graham Morgan presented a lecture describing his experiences and observations of the GIS industry to the GIS Update conference of Edinburgh GIS alumni. The conference theme dealt with future directions of GIS and GIS professionals. “It was great to back in Edinburgh again; it is one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the UK and the GIS program here has played a defining role in my own career.”
