Projects

Hyperspectral Analysis of Vegetation using Hyperion Data near Canton, MS - This is an individual project for Advanced Remote Sensing. I am using Hyperion hyperspecctral data from the EO-1 satellite and comparing two techniques used to "classify" the species in the study area.

Using remote sensing in the creation of habitat bottom maps of Belize's coral reef - Working with other disciplines at the University of in Belize, coarse resolution maps (30 meters) are being created and evaluated using field data. These maps will deliniate reef extents and bottom characteristics for species habitat.

Development of a GIS for Long Beach, MS - Using GPS and existing map data, a geographic information system, or GIS, database was created for Long Beach, MS. Sponsored by the University of Mississippi Geoinformatics Center, the GIS project aims to provide sophisticated data for city planners while giving high school students valuable job training.
