Learn more about the largest, highest-resolution snow-depth measurement-campaign within Arctic Alaska ever made, in support of a variety of scientific and regulatory needs.

I just completed making over 20 billion measurements of snow depth over about 1500 square kilometers of tundra and mountains in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge — my third year mapping snow on [...]

This past weekend we took on perhaps our most challenging photogrammetric project yet – mapping sea ice 150 miles northeast of Deadhorse during the ICEX 2020 project.

About a month ago I mapped snow cover of about 1/3 of the 1002 Area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and here I present some initial processing results along with some thoughts on its [...]

While individually processing the tens of thousands of vertical mapping photos from my last trip to the 1002 Area of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, I couldn't help but to linger on the [...]

I just returned from a few weeks of using fodar to map the snow depth of over 1/3 of the 1002 Area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge at 12.5 cm resolution, as well as about 700 square [...]

We spent most of November 2018 in Botswana studying elephant habitats using fodar, expanding on our work in 2017. This blog summarizes our 2018 mapping work from acquisitions to data validation, [...]

Here I share the first processing results of my 1002 Area topographic mapping effort and find these data suitable for measuring topographic change at the centimeter level. I also have a few [...]

Because my first mission to Earth was so interesting and successful, I was asked to return to learn about ecology in a region called Africa, which is much different than the Arctic part of [...]

This summer I mapped all of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s 1002 Area, as well as all of the glaciers draining into it, covering about 8000 km2 in total. The map resulting from these [...]
