Geospatial Forum with Dr. Mark Friedl

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

Boreal and temperate forests have experienced substantial climate change over the last several decades.  However, understanding of how changes in climate are affecting these ecosystems is incomplete.  Remote sensing provides an important source of information that can help address this information gap.  We present results from recent studies that use three decades of Landsat imagery…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Jelena Vukomanovic

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

Participatory research methods are increasingly used to better understand complex social-environmental problems and design solutions through diverse and inclusive stakeholder engagement. But, participatory research rarely engages stakeholders in co-development and interpretation of computational models that describe system dynamics essential for conceptualizing complex processes and envisioning scenarios of alternate action. Even fewer participatory projects have engaged…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Casey Dietrich

Emergency managers rely on fast and accurate storm surge predictions from numerical models to make decisions and estimate damages during storm events. One of the challenges for such models is providing a high level of resolution along the coast without significantly increasing the computational time. Models with large domains, such as the Advanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC)…

Deadline for Prospective Students to Apply for the Visit NC State Program Dec. 2–4

NC, United States

The Visit NC State Program, to be held from December 2-4, 2018, is designed to offer prospective graduate students, and particularly those interested in the Ph.D., an opportunity to visit our campus, at no cost, to learn more about current research of our faculty and graduate students, and to experience the quality of our graduate programs.…

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Michael Starek

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

Located in South Texas along the Gulf of Mexico coastline, the Conrad Blucher Institute for Surveying and Science at Texas A&M University (TAMU-CC) is actively integrating unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to address regional problems. This forum presentation will provide an overview of such activities, including coastal and maritime reconnaissance, crop and rangeland scouting, and research…
