Geospatial Studio: Soil and Water Assessment Tool for Ecohydrological Modeling

Jordan Hall 5119 2800 Faucette Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Join us for a special two-day Geospatial Studio on ecohydrological modeling for land conversion studies, using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). Changes in land use affect the sustainability of ecosystems by altering the availability of resources upon which human well-being depends. Ecohydrological models are suitable for quantifying the effect of land use change…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. DelWayne Bohnenstiehl

Jordan Hall 5103 2800 Faucette Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

The combination of physical and biological sounds that form the ambient acoustic environment is increasingly recognized as a fundamental element of habitats. Marine soundscapes are known to influence key ecological processes such as reproduction, larval recruitment and trophic interactions, and there is increasing interest in the use of passive acoustic monitoring as a non-destructive habitat…

Wildland fire plays an important role in shaping landscapes across the US. As such, land managers are confronted with numerous questions and issues regarding the management of wildland fire on their lands. These issues involve pre-, during- and post-fire stages of wildland fire and require reliable sources of geospatial data to be addressed. Various agencies,…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Joseph Hummer

Autonomous vehicles will be here soon and will cause major changes when they arrive, similar to the building of the Interstates in the 1950s. AVs will bring safety, ease congestion, and provide mobility for many people who now find it difficult to travel. They will also erase many jobs, erode highway funding, and take customers…
