Making the most of a class project
In the fall's first colloquium Friday, Nov. 6, former GIS certificate student Sarah Thompson presented the results and insights gained from her project,
Cow Manure, Stream Quality and Salmon Death.
Thompson's work, which was partially funded by a 2009 ASPRS student
research scholarship, showed what can be accomplished by a class project and its potential impact for the future.
