Please join us on the Campus of South Dakota Mines, Classroom Building Rm 205 for a Lunch-n-Learn discuss by Dr. Robb Campbell titled Adding the "Ground" to GIS: Landscape Photos in Environmental Research.
In this talk environmental historian (and former SDSM&T adjunct) Robb Campbell will give a brief overview of his work using landscape photos with GIS/remote sensing to explore changing landscapes. He will point out some challenges to this work and a proposed collaborative archive for institutions to share millions of public-domain landscape photos for everyone to use. Then we will all discuss how well such techniques have worked or might work in our own research.
