Nathan Piekielek

I am the Geospatial Librarian at The Pennsylvania State University. I lead the library’s Donald W. Hamer Center for Maps and Geospatial Information where I promote and facilitate spatial literacy and the use of maps and geospatial technologies across the university. This includes the development of publically accessible map and geospatial data collections and tools, one on one and small group research consultations, offering technical and non-technical trainings and workshops, and conducting primary research. My research interests and experiences are diverse and span the fields of geographic information science and remote sensing, historical cartography, landscape ecology and conservation, human geography and mapping, and academic librarianship.
