University of New Hampshire

Kass Green, President, Kass Green and Associates

7:45 am to 5:15 pm, Room: Broward

INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP: This course focuses on the principles, techniques, and practical aspects of assessing the accuracy of GIS information derived from remotely sensed data, and it is based on the new 2nd edition of the book written by the instructors. Participants will receive instruction in how to design accuracy assessment procedures, al-locate accuracy assessment samples, collect both field and photo reference data, and ana-lyze accuracy assessment results. Examples of accuracy assessment case studies based on actual project data will be presented and discussed. Each participant in this course will come away with a solid understanding of ac-curacy assessment procedures for spatial data, and the knowledge to properly interpret the re-sults of such procedures. In order to maximize the benefits of completing this course, partici-pants should have previous experience with GIS and remotely sensed data. In addition, a good understanding of statistical principles is also strongly suggested.

ASPRS Board Meeting & WorkshopsMonday, November 15th, 7:45 am to 5:15 pm

Workshop #2Terrain Production from Imagery – A Workflow Solution for Creating Highly Accurate and Dense Terrain SurfacesDr. Neil Woodhouse, ERDAS Dr. Tom Lobonc, ERDAS7:45 am to 5:15 pm, Room: Florida Keys

INTERMEDIATE WORKSHOP: This work-shop will focus on the full workflow associ-ated with automatically extracting terrain data (point clouds) from airborne and satellite ste-reo imagery. The workflow will start with the creation of a project, bundle block adjustment of imagery, automatic terrain (point cloud) ex-traction in a distributed system, terrain editing, QA/QC, terrain visualization and spatial anal-ysis applications incorporating terrain data. The instructor will present a detailed overview of the technology associated with pixel wise and muli-ray matching and will provide per-tinent information to optimize the quality and speed of processing. During the workshop, various sensor and terrain types will be pro-cessed showcasing how participants can get the most from their data. The products used for this workshop will be LPS eATE, Terrain Editor and ERDAS IMAGINE.

This day long workshop is designed for geospatial professionals who have a need to generate highly accurate and dense terrain datasets from imagery so that the terrain can be used for GIS, City Modeling,Visualization and Spatial Analysis applications.

Workshop #3Geospatial Sensor Networking: A New Direction in Sensing TechnologyDr. Raad Saleh, Global Sensing Group, LLC

Dr. Maha Jaafar, ZMDA7:45 am to 12:15 pm, Room: Dade

ADVANCED WORKSHOP: The integration of ground-based, with airborne and space-borne sensors can provide comprehensive Earth observing capabilities. Several critical ap-plications, such as disaster management and environmental monitoring, require a cluster of sensor networks including imaging and non-imaging systems for effective real-time monitoring and decision making. Consider-able developments have been achieved on the exploitation of individual sensing systems and the fusion of the remotely sensed data.

The goal of this workshop is to present a new direction in remote sensing concepts and technology, namely Multi-Platform Sensing and Sensor Networks. In specific, this work-shop will address fundamentals of network-ing of imaging and non-imaging sensors, web configuration, inter-connection of multiple sensors for targeted missions, interoperabil-ity and standards for data transfer and fusion, bottom-up analysis strategies, and top-down information dissemination.

The workshop is intended for those in-volved in the design and operation of sensor technologies, in cross-platform integration of sensing systems, in mission-specific monitor-ing strategies, and in using multi-source sen-sor networking in support of natural disaster management.

Workshop #4Hyperspectral Remote Sensing: Phenomenology and Data ProcessingWilliam Farrand, Farr View Consulting7:45 am to 12:15 pm, Room: Sarasota

INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP: Imaging spec-trometry, commonly referred to as hyperspec-tral remote sensing, provides high-resolution spectral information for environmental, natural resources, and urban characterization projects. In this workshop, students will be provided with an introduction to the phenomenology of imaging spectrometry, a discussion of hyper-spectral sensors and data types, and some hy-perspectral image processing techniques. An emphasis will be placed on the fact that the added value in imaging spectrometry is on the spectrometry, the ability to identify materials based on their reflectance signatures. In ad-dressing the phenomenology of hyperspectral remote sensing, its basis in reflectance spec-trometry will be discussed and an explanation will be provided as to why some materials are more amenable to mapping than others. Com-mercially available data processing packages that are available for processing hyperspectral and multispectral data will be discussed as well as a discussion of the processing approaches within those packages. Certain processing techniques are better suited to certain applica-tions and the reasons for this are addressed. Also some discussion will be provided with regards to the advantages and shortcomings of current airborne and orbital hyperspectral systems as well as planned systems.

This half day workshop is intended for users of remote sensing data. This includes analysts who may have used multispectral data or some other form of remote sensing data and are now interested in using hyperspectral data in their work. This workshop is also appropriate for managers who must make decisions about what kind of remote sensing data to purchase for their projects and/or what kind of multi- or hyperspectral image processing software that they should purchase. This workshop will provide an introduction to the power of hyper-spectral data in remote sensing projects.

ntsWorkshop #5Online Mapping with the Google Maps APIProf. Michael Peterson, Chair, International

Cartographic Association Commission on Maps and the Internet and University of Nebraska at Omaha

7:45 am to 12:15 pm, Room: Volusia

INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP: Introduced in 2005, Google Maps has transformed the online mapping experience. No longer dependent on a simple and slow server/client relation-ship, Google Maps uses a more interactive, tile-based system with AJAX to present an online map that allows simplified panning and zooming. In 2006, the Google Maps Appli-cation Programmer Interface was introduced that facilitated the creation of Map Mashups – the mapping of data from online sites. Map Mashups have had a major impact in how spatial information is communicated. This workshop examines online mapping APIs from Google, Bing and Yahoo. Specific ex-amples are presented using the Google Maps API that involves the mapping of point, line, and area data. Both in-code and GeoRSS data will be mapped. All examples use an HTML/JavaScript interface to the Google Maps API. Some familiarity with HTML and basic programming concepts - objects, arrays, loops - is expected.

After a short overview, the workshop will be conducted in a hands-on fashion. Partici-pants will connect to the Internet using their own laptops and download a zip file with all of the course materials. A Windows program will be installed to edit the HTML/JavaScript code. Participants will need to have the ac-cess privilege on their own laptop to install programs. Most of the workshop will involve understanding how various Google Maps API routines are called and how they are used to make customized maps. Participants will be given a complete hand-out and all necessary coding examples.

Workshop #6Census Data & TIGER/Line Shapefiles – Putting it All TogetherJennifer Holland, Chief, Geographic

Products Branch, U.S. Census Bureau12:45 pm to 5:15 pm, Room: Sarasota

INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP: This half-day workshop will cover tips & tricks for down-loading data and shapefiles from the US Cen-sus Bureau. Over the next year the Census Bureau will be releasing a wealth of data from the 2010 Census and the American Commu-nity Survey with the first release of the 5-year estimates. Find out how to navigate through the wealth of data available from the Ameri-can Community Survey, Decennial Census, and numerous other surveys and censuses on the Census Bureau’s American FactFinder website. Learn about the various options for accessing and downloading the TIGER/Line® Shapefiles. We will walk through examples demonstrating how all of the pieces of the puzzle fit together quickly and easily. Spend less time putting it all together and more time analyzing the results.

Targeted Audience: • IntroductoryLevel• PeoplenotfamiliarwiththeAmerican

Workshop #7Field Data Collection for the Development of Remote Sensing Ground-TruthKenneth Stumpf, Director, Remote Sensing

Applications, Geographic Resource Solutions

Christopher Stumpf, Field Botanist, Geographic Resource Solutions

12:45 pm to 5:15 pm, Room: Volusia

INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP: This workshop is designed to take the participant through a review of data collection methodologies, defi-nitions, and pro and cons of different meth-odologies designed to assist the participant in designing and/or selecting the most appropriate reference data collection processes to suit their particular information needs, whether related to field training or accuracy assessment sites.

Methodologies presented will include ocu-lar estimates, fixed area sampling, transect sampling, point sampling, and combinations of these approaches. The concepts of cover, closure, and frequency will be discussed. Techniques used to develop estimates of can-opy cover and/or closure, trees per acre, qua-dratic mean diameter, average crown diame-ter, canopy structure, and species composition will be included. The estimation of categorical estimates will also be addressed, as well a dis-cussion of potential bias and cost.

Examples from recent projects will be used to illustrate field data collection principles and the nature of information that can be de-veloped from an integrated sample design to accurately assess the multitude of different features that may be sampled at any given site that includes trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, non-vascular plants, ground surface condition, woody debris, snags, trace elements and other features.

Workshop #8Now You Have Land Use/Land Cover What Are You Going To Use It For? Dr. Andrew Brenner, PhotoScience, Solutions

Division 12:45 pm to 5:15 pm, Room: Dade

INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP: We all know that the production of land cover information is useful but do we really know how it is be-ing used or can be used outside the academic environment. This workshop is designed for producers and consumers of land cover data-sets to understand what users need from a land cover product, how to match needs to speci-fications, including cost, and specification to technologies. Unlike most workshops this will not start with the technology but start with the demonstrated need and show how land cover products from federal and state programs, uni-versity researchers and the private sector are matched or not matched to specific real world applications.

The workshop will be presented as a series of case studies where applications are present-ed showing examples from real world clients. Based on its requirements the definition of the product is developed and then the technology is selected that can best meet those require-ments. The workshop will focus on operation-al not research projects and will bring in real financial constraints and how those constraints dictated the technology and approach taken.

Workshop #9Virtual Globes or Virtual Geographic Reality: How Much Detail Does a Digital Earth Require? Dr. Arzu Coltekin, University of Zurich

Dr. Keith Clarke, University of California7:45 am to 12:15 pm, Room: Lake

INTERMEDIATE WORKSHOP: The vision of a “digital earth” has captured the imagination of many, and led to a conference series and In-ternational Journal. Virtual globes are increas-ingly more popular, and increasingly more “crowded” with cartographic and multimedia detail. Not only can high resolution graphic data be produced more easily today than ever before, the Web 2.0 feeds these globes with in-formation from the bottom-up, including VGI, images, video, sound and annotations. These developments are mainly positive, however, side effects such as visual clutter (popularly referred to as “red dot fever”) or lags in data loading times hinder the efficiency of these candidate digital earths.

This workshop brings together experts from different yet related areas of geographic sci-ence , visual analytics, information visualiza-tion engineering with the aim of producing a research agenda for level-of-detail (LOD) and information display-related issues for web-based mapping. The proposed agenda cov-ers LOD related issues for virtual globes and geo-virtual environments (GeoVEs) in many aspects from production to visualization and semantics. The outcome of the discussion will be compiled into a web-based publication. Depending on the success of the event a text-book compilation can also be envisioned.

Workshop #10Calibrating Film and Digital Sensors for Today’s Geo-Spatial BusinessDr. Qassim Abdullah, Fugro EarthData, Inc

Don Light, CP, Rochester Institute of Technology

7:45 am to 12:15 pm, Room: Volusia

INTERMEDIATE WORKSHOP: The work-shop introduces important topics related to the calibration process of film and digital sensors including the Mathematics and techniques for data acquisition.

WorkshopsTuesday, November 16th, 7:45 am to 12:15 pm

Workshop #11GIS Updating by Automated Image AnalysisDr. Christian Heipke, Leibniz Universität

Hannover, Germany7:45 am to 12:15 pm, Room: Broward

INTERMEDIATE WORKSHOP: It is well known that geospatial data are the most valuable source in any GIS. In particular with regard to new applications such as car navigation it is of prime importance to keep the GIS database up-to-date in very short intervals, and some-times on a daily basis. In different countries this goal is reached in different ways. Whereas some countries are in the process of establish-ing a ground based service, sometimes even incorporating crowd sourcing from taxi driv-ers, the local postman and the general public, other countries take a more centralized ap-proach and rely on image information as the prime data source.

This half-day workshop deals with the dif-ferent possibilities to update a topographic GIS database. It is shown that updating can be viewed as a two-stage approach involving two questions: (a) are the data in the database correct? (b) are the data in the database com-plete? Whereas the first question potentially leads to correction and deletion of existing data, in the second step new data are added to the database.

Data sources taken into account comprise aerial and satellite images and ground sur-vey data. The main focus is on automating data capture and update using image analy-sis, while keeping the human operator in the loop to guide and check the whole process The overall theoretical concept and the image analysis algorithms to be employed in the pro-cess are discussed in some detail, followed by a life demo of a software system developed at Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, using real-world applications from various coun-tries. Short presentations from government organizations using the software package in their daily work illustrate the usefulness of the concepts and the developed system from a user point of view.

The workshop is aimed at scientists in-volved in designing new updating processes for a large topographic database, to practitio-ners in National Mapping and Cadastre Agen-cies facing the task of keeping the databases up-to-date, and software developers who need to implement and efficient workflow for GIS database updating. The attendees will be pro-vided with copies of the lecture material being presented during the workshop.

Workshop #12Open Source/Free Geospatial ToolsDr. Rakesh Malhotra, North Carolina Central

University7:45 am to 12:15 pm, Room: Dade

INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP: As the geo-spatial community grows and geospatial applications spread to a wide array of disci-plines, the use of Open Source software is gaining traction. This half day introductory workshop provides participants with an over-view of Open Source software products cur-rently available in the geospatial realm. Web based mapping tools (GeoServer), desktop applications (gvSIG), as well as modular li-braries (GeoTools) will be presented. The workshop also offers a review of free software from vendor companies (Google Earth and Google SketchUp; ArcGIS Explorer and Ar-cReader by ESRI). Remote sensing tools such as Opticks are also discussed. The workshop presentations will be exploratory rather than incisive; however participants can expect wide ranging and fruitful discussions on the differ-ent software options. A brief history of Open Source software in GIS will also be presented. The primary objective of this workshop is to provide information for users to assess Open Source software options. This is a hands-on workshop and relies on the participants’ abil-ity to install and interact with software. People registering for this workshop are encouraged to bring laptop computers.

Workshop #13Maximizing Information Extraction from Remote Sensor Imagery Dr. Charles E. Olson, Jr., Michigan Tech

Research Institute7:45 am to 12:15 pm, Room: Florida Keys

INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP: Computer-based algorithms seldom provide land cover/use with the accuracy routinely provided by human interpreters. In this workshop we will systematically evaluate the Elements of Im-age Interpretation and their use in extracting information from remotely sensed data in sev-eral spectral bands, including methods used to reach and exceed the 90% accuracy plateau.

Who should attend: Anyone desiring to ex-tract information from remotely sensed data, especially in those situations when automated methods cannot get the job done with suffi-cient accuracy.

Monday, November 15th – If you arrive on Monday, get settled in then meet us in the hotel lobby at 6:30 PM as we head toward the Islands of Adventure, located right next door to Universal Studios Florida. Islands of Adventure has a separate identity from Universal Studios, with some notable exceptions, and its best-kept secret is the food. We will have dinner at Mythos, the full-service restaurant in The Lost Continent. After the dinner we can explore the park and stop for some dessert or drinks combined with interesting conversation.

Tuesday, November 16th – After you have exchanged some business cards at the Exhibitors’ Reception at 7:45 PM we’ll meet in the hotel lobby to go over to the Universal CityWalk. There you can grab a quick snack, relax over dinner, mingle over cocktails, see a wild concert, catch the latest movie, and dance the night away. You can do it all in one night. According to the Travel Guide you can do it all in one place – Universal CityWalk, Orlando’s hottest spot for entertainment. We will try to find a place that suits everybody’s taste over the large selection of restaurants, coffee shops, cocktail places and other amusements offered here.

Wednesday, November 17th – We meet at the hotel lobby at 7:00 PM for our final night out and a visit to International Drive. We take the trolley and get out at station 24 to go for dinner at Ming Court, a very popular Chinese restaurant offering oriental food that is wholesome, natural, and fresh. They serve everything from seafood to steaks, a selection of authentic dim sum, sushi, and several wok and

Students & Young Professionalschar-grilled dishes. After dinner we’ll walk to a nearby bar with fifty tons of beautifully carved ice that serves as the backdrop for the 45 minute Artic experience known as “ICEBAR” Orlando. Borrow capes and gloves to warm your outsides, share drinks with friends to warm your insides. The adjacent Fire Lounge awaits the survivors. This is one of only two icebars in America. There is a $20 cover charge, so if

we decide it’s too expensive we can go to “Howl at the Moon”, a nearby bar which has a singing, clapping, stomping, dance on the piano, Rock ‘n’

Roll dueling piano show!

It’s part concert, part piano show, and all centered around audience interaction and two baby grand pianos.

We hope you will join us in these activities and get to know more about your fellow students in the ASPRS. Bring some walking shoes and light jackets and let’s explore Orlando together.

iGETT (Integrated Geospatial Education and Technology Training) was funded by the National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education Program, 2007-2010 to enhance GIS technician education at two-year colleges by enabling instructors to integrate GIS, remote sens-ing and GPS. Remote sensing and its use in education and by the workforce have increased significantly after Landsat became free to all users in 2009. For comparison, in 2001 educa-tors accessed 2000 scenes, but by 2009, they accessed 357,000 scenes. The iGETT project outcomes include instructional resources for those wishing to learn remote sensing or provide professional development opportunities to other educators. It also includes exercises that can be used in many disciplines to integrate remote sensing concepts and data into programs. This session will discuss how remote sensing can be integrated into programs and investigate the resources created by participants and iGETT staff that can help educators learn and teach re-mote sensing.

Division - Defense & Intelligence (D&I) Committee - GIS/PAD-D&I Room: Lake, Citrus Crown Ballrooms

In the last few years the need for geospatial data has grown exponentially thanks to new ad-vances in the technology, cost reduction of the products and the introduction of this technology to the public (Google Earth and Bing). This increase in data acquisition has generated new questions for the geospatial community, including:

• Howdowemanagethenewdata?• Howshouldweintegratetheolddatawiththenewdataseamlessly?• Howshouldwemaintainstewardshipofthedata?• Howshouldwearchivethedataforfutureuse?

Answering these questions will help us meet today’s challenges and be prepared for future challenges arising daily in our field.

Special Session — PanelQuality Assurance Processes for Creating useful Data and Results Moderator: Mike Benson, U.S. Geological Survey, USASponsored by: ASPRS Primary Data Acquisition Division – PDADRoom: Seminole A, Citrus Crown Ballrooms

Aerial imaging is in a period of rapid growth and change with new technologies, new custom-ers, and new missions requirements. Digital airborne sensors have matured over the last few years and have been gaining acceptance by the mapping community. This is evidenced by: 1) the enhancement of current remote sensing systems by the manufacturers; 2) the manufactur-ers introducing new sensors into the marketplace that address the needs of a particular sector of the user market not previously addressed; 3) and the amount of data being collected. In many cases, the collection system may have methods that are designed to help the data collectors and current owners of the data may be able to obtain enough information to use the data. However, the quality and long term usefulness of the acquired data in comparison to other data types may be an issue. In addition, IADIWG and Lidar quality assurance processes will be emphasized.

This session will have four panels with short presentations and discussions. All information will be made available on the PDAD web site.

Is There a Need for Neo-cartography?Professor Menno-Jan KraakRoom: Orange Ballroom, Citrus Crown Ballrooms

Cartography offers a well established theory and proven guidelines to design maps that, within a certain context inform about spatio-temporal patterns and relations. However, so-cietal and scientific developments move so fast that both theory and guidelines seem to lag behind. How should the cartographic discipline react to these challenges?

This contribution discusses the developments from a societal challenges (neo-geography) and a scientific perspective (geovisual analytics). Neogeography involves many non-geo professional collecting and displaying geo-tagged information. The resulting (mash-up)maps seem often chaotic, overplotted and lack any cartographic design. Geovisual analytics involves (non-geo) professionals who use maps as part of a highly interactive multiple co-ordinated view environment in their reasoning process. These maps also tend to be chaotic, overplotted, and lack any cartographic design.

Does this require a new cartography? In other words should the cartographic guidelines as once developed by Bertin be rewritten? Or should we extent and link the guidelines with visualization strategies as suggested by Shneiderman? Or just wait and see?

Menno-Jan Kraak is Professor in Geovisualization at the Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Earth Observation (ITC), University of Twente, The Netherlands. He holds a Ph.D. in Cartography of Delft Technical University. Since 2007, Menno-Jan is one of the Vice-Presi-dents of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) responsible for the science portfolio. He has written many publications on cartog-raphy and GIS. His most visible publication is the book Cartography, Visualization of Geospatial Data (with Ormeling) and published by Prentice Hall, (translated in 5 languages). He is a member of the edi-

torial board of several international journals in the field of Cartography and GIScience.

2010 Pecora Award RecognitionDr. Marvin E. Bauer is the 2010 Pecora Award recipient who is being recognized for his many contributions to remote sensing education, science, applications, and service. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Forest Resources and Director of the Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis Laboratory at the University of Minnesota.

Special Session — PanelStatus of the Commercial Mapping Product GuidelineModerator: Charles Mondello - Pictometry, USASponsored by: The ASPRSRoom: Seminole A, Citrus Crown Ballrooms

The intent of these Guidelines is to expand upon current ASPRS policy and guidelines first adopted in 1986, in order to provide public agencies, researchers, private entities and other organizations with an updated and current resource they can use as a guide to help deter-mine the best approach and methodology for procuring photogrammetry and related remote sensor-based commercial geospatial mapping products. This Guideline acts as a compliment to the QBS guide already published and it was prepared by a committee with representation from local, state and federal governments, as well as the private sector.

The purpose of this session is to review content of the document and act as a roundtable with the audience to discuss areas of approval, expansion, and concern.

ASPRS/ISPRS Special Session — PanelGeospatial Sensing and Sensor Networks in Support of Natural Disaster ManagementModerator: Raad A. Saleh, Global Sensing Group, USASponsored by: The ASPRS and ISPRS WG IV/8 and ICWG IV/IIRoom: Seminole A, Citrus Crown Ballrooms

Cross-platform integration of traditional remote sensing imaging systems with other non-im-aging monitoring networks, such as seismological detectors and ocean wave sensors, would certainly provide the means for an early warning system for large scale natural (such as the Haiti and Chile earthquakes) and man-induced disasters (such as nuclear explosions). Such a geospatial sensing system would possibly be adequate to avert the enormous humanitar-ian, economic and environmental impact a broad-scale disaster may bring about. The prem-ise for this Special Session is that the integration of surface (land and water) based sensors, with airborne and space-borne systems, can provide an enhanced capability in comprehensive monitoring, modeling, validation, and early warning. This panel will discuss the concept of Multi-Platform Sensing and Sensor Networks, the technological issues, operational aspects, bottlenecks, and the road ahead.

Panelists will cover disaster management professionals, research, and system develop-ment.

Real Time Data Acquisition and Delivery for Rapid Disaster ResponseDavid Fuhr, RG, CEO, Airborne Data Systems Inc.Room: Orange Ballroom, Citrus Crown Ballrooms

David Fuhr, CEO of Airborne Data Systems, Inc. will tell the story of his experiences with multi sensor data acquisition (e.g., high resolu-tion optical imagery, Lidar and radar), processing and distribution in response to disasters. He will also discuss his respective experience with data acquisition and delivery in disaster response with special focus on major 2010 disasters of the Haiti earthquakes and the Gulf oil spill. Other plenary talks during the week will discuss geovisual-ization and GIS, but this session will discuss aspects of airborne and

ground data collection under the pressure of rapid response for environmental and humani-tarian relief, monitoring and recovery.

David Fuhr co-founded Airborne Data Systems Inc. in 1992 and pioneered the develop-ment of airborne multi-spectral digital mapping. Under his direction, Airborne Data Sys-tems has grown around the premise of “real time” data delivery and Airborne Data Systems has attained this goal.

Special Session National Park Service Vegetation Inventory and Mapping Lessons LearnedModerator: Karl Brown, National Park Service, USARoom: Seminole A, Citrus Crown Ballrooms

The National Park Service Vegetation Inventory (NPSVI and formerly the NPS Vegetation Mapping Program) classifies, describes and maps vegetation communities of over 270 national park units throughout the United States. The purpose of this Inventory is to provide park man-agers with critical information on resources that is needed to conserve biodiversity, respond to disturbances and understand processes such as wildlife habitat relationships and wildland fires. The NPSVI follows well-established procedures for the production of high-quality and standardized maps and associated data sets of vegetation and land cover within parks.

This special session will provide an update to the body of knowledge and expertise that has been gained by program and park managers, field botanists, researchers and mapping teams alike.

DNA and GIS Analyses to Assess African Ancestry of 4-H Students in Southwest Georgia Dr. Kathaleena Edward Monds, Albany State University, Georgia, USARoom: Orange Ballroom, Citrus Crown Ballrooms

The African Adinkra (Ghana) concept of Sankofa means “to look/go back in order to move forward” and reflects the need for individuals to investigate their histori-cal backgrounds, actions and legacies -- all in an effort to understand how histori-cal, political, economic and cultural activities shape the way they live, think and behave. DNA analysis allows an individual to trace their ancestral background in order to define Who? they are, When? events happened, Where? they have been, How? they arrived, and Why? they are here. This project used DNA and GIS analysis to discover the African ancestry of 4-H students in southwest Georgia.

The students are considered fourth-generation descendents of slaves who were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation which was signed on January 1, 1863. If we utilize the following timeline as an example, most ASU students were born in the 1980s, their parents were born in the 1960s, their grandparents were born in the 1940s, their great-grandparents were born in the 1920s, and their great-great-grandparents having been born in the 1890s; thus, rendering them as fourth-gen-eration descendents since the Emancipation. Slave traders imported an estimated 9.2 million slaves into the Caribbean and Central and South America and such events took place between 1500s and 1800s (Curtin, 1969).

Understanding their historical identity by identifying the clan of their ancestors helps them investigate and explore their ancestry from a global perspective (via the African Diaspora), but more specifically, helps them understand the migration of their individual ancestors throughout the world (human migratory map).

The adage that “a picture is worth a thousand words” is important to today’s visually-stimulated Generation X’ers. The use of a geographic map and timeline provides a visual in understanding the various routes taken by their ancestors, elders, and the locations of their family members today. Looking at maps help to develop spatial thinking while at the same time provides the student with the op-portunity to make inferences about how historical, political, economic and cultural events that help connect their past to the present.

Dr. Kathaleena Edward Monds is the Interim Dean of the College of Business and a Professor at Albany State University (ASU), Georgia. Prior to working at ASU, she spent three years at Grambling State University and 10 years at Unisys Corporation. Dr. Monds actively serves five community organizations in the Grady County area in southwest Georgia, including 4H. In the past year she has organized GIS Day in Albany, Georgia, taught two

GIS-related business classes at ASU (Logistics Information Systems and Human-Computer Interaction) using the demo versions of ArcLogistics and ArcGIS, hosted 4H-GIS/GPS Camp in Cairo, Georgia, was awarded a 4-H GIS/GPS Beginners Grant and was awarded an ASU Ancestry Project Grant. Dr. Monds will discuss this last project that involves using DNA analysis to trace the African ancestors of 4-H students and then using GIS to map and analyze their migration patterns. Dr. Monds was also accepted in the GeoTech Center sponsored teacher training program in Gainesville State College where she spent a week learning remote sensing and GIS for incorporation into her ASU business curriculum.

Success Stories from Students of Geographic Information ScienceStudents and former students who are active in ASPRS, ISPRS, CaGIS and ICA will provide testimonials on how their involvement in geospatial professional soci-eties benefited their education and their careers in academia, industry and govern-ment agencies.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) MeetingGeoreferencing, Geometric Accuracy, and Visualization of NASA Mission Data Thursday, November 18, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Room: Broward

Long-term continuity, geometric accuracy, translation of raw data to user products, and fusion of data are recognized needs for improving the util-ity of current and future NASA Earth Observing Missions. Users often spend much of their time processing and geo-referencing data. Geomet-ric and radiometric inter-calibration between observations, models, and information products is key to enabling fusion of different data types. Future instrument acquisitions should ensure continuity and contextual information for long-term ease of use. Visualization tools enhance the utility of the data and results. This forum provides an opportunity for dialogue between NASA, and higher-level data product producers and users for understanding the means to improve the utility and applica-tions of NASA Earth Observing Mission data.
