Proceedings Of The Workshop On Spatio-Temporal Data Models Of Biogeophysical Fields For Ecological Forecasting, Geoffrey Henebry, Jan Chomicki, Tony Fountain

Geoffrey Henebry

This workshop was held on April 8th - 10th at the San Diego Supercomputer Center in La Jolla, California. It was sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Workshop Overview
We are now in an era of intensive earth observation: orbital platforms generate myriad
remote sensing datastreams across a range of spatial, temporal, spectral, and radiometric
resolutions. The number and variety of "eyes in the skies" are scheduled to increase
significantly over the next few years. Tiris veritable data deluge necessitates new ways of
thinking about transforming remote sensing data into information about ecological patterns and
processes. These datastreams hold the …

Gps Locations And Costa Rican Topo Maps, Kenneth H. Orvis

Geography Publications and Other Works

Over the past several years I have been working with Sally Horn and our U.S. and Costa Rican collaborators on several projects in Costa Rica related to paleoenvironmental research. Such research requires accurately locating geomorphic and archaeological features in the field, using GPS and the 1:50,000 scale topographic maps produced by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional. Doing so is a challenge to the uninitiated, because GPS locations (including elevation) appear to be just plain wrong when you match them to the map. A position collected on the north side of a stream plots on the south side on the map, or …
