and patented the world's first real-time interactive GPS/GIS technologies, leading to transformative changes in the ways in which geographic information is now collected, mapped, integrated, and used within science, as well as in society more broadly. He also has been closely engaged with both technical and social issues related to geospatial data confidentiality and privacy for more than 20 years. Richardson holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and a PhD in Geography from Michigan State University. His current research interests focus space-time integration in GIS and GIScience, and on geography's evolution as an international discipline and its future trajectories in the university and in society.

Donggen Wang is Professor of Department of Geography, Director of Center for China Urban and Regional Studies at Hong Kong Baptist University. He has been conducting research in the fields of time geography, activity-travel behavior analysis, built environment and activity-travel behavior; GIS, GPS and Transportation; etc. He was the Chairman of Hong Kong Geographical Association (2009-2013). He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Asian Geographer; Editor-in-Chief of Travel Behavior and Society, and serves on the editorial board of several international journals.

Chenghu Zhou is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, director of LREIS, deputy director of the Branch Association of Environmental Remote Sensing of the Geographic Association of China, head of the expert group of earth observation and navigation technology of State High-tech Research and Development Program ("863" Program), vice president of Geo-information Science Committee, IGU, an editorial board member of International Journal of Geographical Information Science, and chief editor of Progress in Geography. His research interests include fundamental theory or application of remote sensing and geographical information system. Professor Zhou has developed the technology and methodology of natural disaster monitoring and evaluation using remote sensing, advanced the theory and methodology of intelligent RS image analysis and discrete geo-system simulation, expanded the research on marine fishery GIS and completed geomorphologic map of China at a scale of 1:1,000,000, which fill in the gap in China. He has published over 240 academic papers and 17 scientific books/atlases. He has also won 16 awards of national, provincial and ministerial levels, including 5 awards for National Scientific and Technological Progress.
