BGSU seminar addresses remote sensing for water quality monitoring
Professionals from NASA's Glenn Research Center, the Ohio Department of Transportation and Bowling Green State University will speak during "SPatial LITeracy - SPLIT Remote Sensing for Water Quality Monitoring" from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday (May 10) in 101 Olscamp Hall.
The seminar will provide an overview of the latest remote sensing techniques and applications concerning Lake Erie water quality. BGSU students from Dr. Anita Simic Milas' class in the School of Earth, Environment and Society will share information from their remote sensing studies, followed by presentations about monitoring algal bloom in Lake Erie, wetlands and water quality, a Landsat program overview and Federal Aviation Administration regulations for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), commonly known as drones. Speakers include Roger Tokars, optics engineer at NASA; Fred Judson, director for the DriveOhio UAS Center - Department of Transportation; Dr. Robert Vincent, BGSU professor emeritus of geology and founder of Satelytics, and Simic Milas.
Anyone with an interest in land and water management and protection, environmental monitoring, remote sensing techniques and drones is encouraged to attend. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. There is no cost to attend the workshop; however, reservations are required by contacting Simic Milas at asimic@bgsu.edu.
The seminar is funded by America View and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
