Undergrads and Grads, If you are planning on taking this course you'll have a very low cost opportunity to present your research at the upcoming Cumberland URISA meeting at Eastern Kentucky University in January 2018. The audience is more academic than TNGIC and is typically comprised of a number of people in the remote sensing discipline.

As a part of the Geospatial Sciences Tract of study, I am offering Fall 2017 -- GEOG 413: Remote Sensing of the Environment. Undergraduate students in this course have in the past and recently presented in URSA, EUReCA and TNGIC - Tennessee Geographic Information Council<http://www.tngic.org/> and recently won EURECA 1st Place in the Physical Science Section, and Honorable Mention and 1st Place in the Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Section and an Office of Research & Engagement Bronze Medal (and monetary award). A graduate student in the course was encouraged to work on his dissertation study for the lab modules and has published 3 peer-reviewed research papers including the Journal of Hydrology. Another graduate student published in the Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing. A number of students have gone on to graduate school and a professional life. We teach cutting edge applications in Lidar and Drone technology. <image001.jpg> We have 10 slots open per lab section X 2 lab sections. Please let your students know about this opportunity. There are no pre-reqs other than high school physics, math (algebra, geometry & trig), & chemistry and the mean grade is an A-. We have had students from Forestry, Wildlife, & Fisheries in Entomology, Wildlife, & Fisheries; Biosystems Engineering & Soils, Geography, EEB, Civil Engineering, Anthropology/Archaeology, and from the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences including Paleontology and Geology.
