Vegetation and Pizza

June 15^th, 2012

After our wonderful breakfast at the dorms, we headed back up to our meeting spot to meet the professors. Dr. Lipo discussed the three areas of study in more detail to give us a better understanding of what each project will entail. The three areas of study are vegetation, agricultural fields, and hydrology. All of them sounds interesting and have an aspect that I am interested in, but I decided to be apart and focus my research on the vegetation study. I’m interested in using the spectrometer to build a spectral library to incorporate with high resolution imagery to try and more accurately classify vegetating by using remote sensing.

We broke up into our smaller groups and further discussed ideas for our research. We then spent the next couple of hours researching GIS layers and articles that are related to our study.

After our small group discussion we went to have pizza at a local family run pizza restaurant called avenue 3.
