![]() KansasView sponsors Haskell students at GPRM AAG 2019 Meeting Research and for promoting the value of the wetlands. Supported the use of the wetlands by the drone class, both for the value of theįlight training and the resulting aerial photography that will be used for ![]() Restored wetlands lying in the Wakarusa River Valley just south of Lawrence, Baker Wetlands is an extensive area of natural and The University of Kansas for drone flight training and to the Baker Wetlandsįor drone mapping missions. Oblique aerial view of the Baker Wetlands, looking northwest from the Wakarusa River in September 2019.Ĭourse instructors had access to athletic practice fields at The primary goals of the course were to give students hands-on experience in flying drones, collecting imagery, and processing aerial data to produce digital surface models, aerial mosaics, and related products. The overall purpose of developing the course was to create course materials and procedures that could serve as a model for developing similar courses at our partner, Haskell Indian Nations University, and other AmericaView institutions. KansasView offered of a newly revamped course, Introduction to Drone Mapping, at the University of Kansas during the Fall Semester, 2019. Teachers competed in completing online satellite imagery puzzles, learned about AmericaView’s educational resources including other StateView ESRI StoryMaps, completed an ESRI GeoInquiries lesson, and learned about existing Web Mapping Applications (WMA) for Kansas related data. ![]() KansasView PI and Coordinator had the opportunity to participate in the Ecosystems of Kansas Summer Institute, where middle-school science teachers learned about bringing more geospatial data into their classrooms. 2022 NSF EPSCoR Summer Institute on the Ecosystems of Kansas Click here to view the story map: An example of the the map tour of ecological system types in an ESRI StoryMap. One goal is to educate GIS and non-GIS Kansans and beyond about the Kansas landscape, the new vegetation map product, and the basics of how the map was produced. A description of the mapping approach will be included in the StoryMap avoiding technical and scientific jargon where possible. More than 2,900 roadside photographs have been processed and attached to the point feature class of field sites visited. Field sites are clickable to show a description of the field site including dominant vegetation species and a roadside photograph (Figure 9). The field data sites are displayed in an interactive WebApp with the land cover map as the base layer. An interactive tour of the Kansas Ecological Systems has been created and include photographs representative of the vegetated landscape, a paired remotely sensed image (aerial or satellite), and photographs of flora and fauna, when available. ![]() The Story Map will provide a backstory on the project, descriptions of the Kansas landscape, drivers of landscape formation and change. Fish and Wildlife Service, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, MoRAP (Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership), and the Kansas Biological Survey. This mapping was a collaborative endeavor between the U.S. KansasView is developing an ESRI Story Map describing the Kansas landscape and the Ecological Systems map that was recently created (see below). ![]()
