We are celebrating our seventh year of the GeoLeague Challenge<http://asprs.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT02MTM4ODU3JnA9MSZ1PTEwNzMxODc3OTAmbGk9Mzk4MTE4NzM/index.html> and teams from across the country will compete in a challenge put forth by the ASPRS Student Advisory Council (SAC). Please review the challenge and guidelines for 2017 below.
Recent disaster events such as earthquakes, superstorms, wildfires, sinkholes, and floods demonstrate the massive destruction that can occur when a natural disaster strikes. We need vulnerability assessments to build more resilient communities, early warning systems to get people out of harm’s way, and fast access to data and mapping capabilities to inform disaster response. How can you as a GIS/Remote Sensing student harness data and geospatial technology to reduce the negative impacts of natural disasters? Your challenge is to use a combination of GIS and remote sensing technologies in conjunction with freely available datasets to identify how a natural disaster could have been less devastating to a community and build a tool that will inform and support disaster response organizations.
