Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study delves into the dynamics of rural-to-urban migration, emphasizing its impact on urbanization in the unique context of Ghana. As migration patterns evolve globally, understanding the motivations and challenges of internal migration is crucial for informed policy-making. The case study focuses on migrants from Northern Ghana to Accra, exploring factors propelling urbanization, challenges in urban job searches, and proposing strategies for managing urbanization. The research uses a comprehensive methodology to draw on extensive data from the 2021 Population and Housing Census. Utilizing thematic reports on migration, economic activities, background characteristics, and education, the study employs descriptive and inferential statistical …

Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies Publications and Presentations

Advances built into recent sUASs (drones) offer a compelling possibility for field-based data collection in logistically challenging and GPS-denied environments. sUASs-based photogrammetry generates 3D models of features and landscapes, used extensively in archaeology as well as other field sciences. Until recently, navigation has been limited by the expertise of the pilot, as objects, like trees, and vertical or complex environments, such as cliffs, create significant risks to successful documentation. This article assesses sUASs’ capability for autonomous obstacle avoidance and 3D flight planning using data collection scenarios carried out in Black Mesa, Oklahoma. Imagery processed using commercial software confirmed that the …
