- January 2016 - GES master’s student Andy Loerch has received a Marshall Plan Scholarship to spend three months in Austria conducting research. He will be working with Dr. Gernot Paulus at Carinthia University on a project titled “Change Detection from Structure From Motion – The Impact of Repeat Station Imaging.” This project involves the use of remote sensing technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicles and aerial triangulation, and high-tech GIS tools, such as real-time-kinematic (RTK) global navigation satellite systems. Congratulations to Andy for this honor!
