Dear Ben, Please send a copy of your paper titled " New approaches to aquatic and terrestrial animal surveillance: The potential for people and technology to transform epidemiology". We are looking to PostgeSQL/PostGIS solutions.
I will ask my colleagues to cite your work. You can send a copy to [email protected].
