Day 11: Lab Day Numero Uno

June 21, 2012

Today was a data download day, it wasn’t hectic at all, but it was super informative!  We went to the NTBG center conference room with our laptops and downloaded all of the images that our flights have taken.  There were a lot of them, but MANY of them weren’t good enough to use; some of our photoscans didn’t come out too good, but there were some that were salvageable.  We did create our data dictionary which should help us out in the field.  Oh yeah!  Matty helped us in the identification of some plants that we have already tagged and taken pictures of, he enlisted the help of some of the NTBG botanists to help us with all of the identification of plants!  We received some details on what we might do, but I don’t want to mention it since nothing seems to be cemented yet.  It seems like it would be pretty cool though, I’ll keep you posted though!
