- Q7597820 abstract "Stan Openshaw (born 10 August 1946) is a retired British geographer. His last post was professor of human geography based in the School of Geography at the University of Leeds. After eighteen years at Newcastle University, including three years as professor of quantitative geography, he moved to work in Leeds in 1992. Stan was a leading researcher in computer-based geography and his work aimed to automate aspects of geographical research and reduce subjectivity in geographical analyses. He worked hard and was not just enthusiastic, but inspirational and catalysed research, developed researchers, projects and collaborations, and helped to evolve geographical information systems, analysis technology and models that in their day were state-of-the-art. Stan is still passionate about geography and keen to learn about the employment of geographical approaches that attempt to make the world a better place. In the past, he debated the direction geography should take putting forward a view that the subject needed an applied and scientific edge that harnessed the growing power of computers to make positive impacts to help us avoid and mitigate risk and cope better with disasters.In 1992 Stan set up the Centre for Computational Geography (CCG) as an inter-disciplinary unit at the University of Leeds, an organisation dedicated to bringing computers to bear on complex social and physical problems. Stan directed the CCG for seven years until suffering a severely disabling stroke in 1999 after which he was retired.Stan became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a Chartered Statistician in 1993, a Fellow of the Institute of Statisticians in 1983 and was a Member of the British Computer Society from 1983.In 2012 at the GISRUK conference in Lancaster a special session was arranged to celebrate Stan's work and geographical career.A festschrift document about Stan's work and career as a geographer is partially developed. If you have something to add, then please contribute to this work. A short Stan Openshaw Festschrift Film is linked from the festschrift and is available on YouTube on The Stan Openshaw Channel. Also on that channel are edited presentation videos from the GISRUK 2012 special session held in Stan's honour. The Stan Openshaw Festschrift Film features (among others) one of Stan's most brilliant students Danny Dorling.Since his major disabling stroke in 1999 Stan has struggled to communicate verbally and get around, but he is well aware of the world around him and the problems we face. Stan is much diminished now in his abilities to help the world and our society address its problems, but Stan now presents to the world his artwork in the form of acrylic paint on canvas. Stan has been developing his style for a few years and has graduated to selling his works. Like much of Stan's work, it somehow adds an extra dimension to what you might expect. One painting was produced for Danny Dorling and was presented to him after his inaugural lecture as Halford Mackinder professor of Geography at the University of Oxford on 3 February 2014.".
