A dense fog surprised the field crew on a cold February morning causing them to wait a few hours before they could survey. This delay in precious fieldwork time was a disappointment, but the field crew didn’t let that stop them from trying and having a good time!

New Lab Member, Liz Schunk!
Liz Schunk joins the Lab as an undergraduate research assistant. Liz is a senior double majoring in GIScience & Technology and Geography (concentration in environmental systems). She is also the vice president of ECU’s Beta Iota chapter of Gamma Theta Upsilon. Liz is interested in coastal and marine wildlife/habitat conservation and management. She plans to combine these interests along with her Lab experience using geospatial technologies to help develop original ideas for a master’s thesis. Liz plans to enter a master’s program upon her graduation, and her experience in the lab will provide her the training and support she needs to make her applications competitive.
New Lab Intern, Robert Shin!
Robert Shin joins the Lab as an intern for the Spring 2022 semester! Robert is a senior with a concentration in Geographic Information Science and Technology. For his Lab internship, Robert is learning how to use geospatial technologies such as drones and RTK-GNSS to collect topographic and bathymetric data. Robert has a love for fieldwork because he likes to spend his time hunting and fishing in North Carolina wetlands. This has also sparked his interest in wetland conservation and monitoring using geospatial technologies. In particular, wildlife monitoring using satellite transmitters to track the migration and the stopping points of migratory birds. Very cool, Robert! Welcome to the Lab!
