Two GIS Pioneers Honored with National Geographic's Bell Medal
-->The National Geographic Society has awarded Alexander Graham Bell Medals to two visionary geographers and geographic information systems (GIS) pioneers — Dr. Roger Tomlinson, known as “the father of GIS,” and Jack Dangermond, a trailblazer in spatial analysis methods.
The Alexander Graham Bell Medal, named for the inventor and the second president of the National Geographic Society, is awarded for extraordinary achievement in geographic research. Bell’s great-grandson, National Geographic Society Chairman Gilbert M. Grosvenor, presented the medals to Tomlinson and Dangermond at the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) International User Conference in San Diego.
