Pedagogical Applications of Point Cloud Collection and Manipulation Message-ID: Please consider submitting an abstract to this GSA session if you use point cloud collection methods (ex SfM, TLS) or data sets in teaching. We are looking to share successes and discuss challenges. Submission deadline August 1, 2017. Note: that although it is listed as posters we have been assured by GSA that if we get enough submissions, we will be able to have both talks and poster sessions. T123. Pedagogical Applications of Point Cloud Collection and Manipulation (Posters) Jeffrey Clark, Leslie Hasbargen, Beth Pratt-Sitaula GSA Geoscience Education Division; UNAVCO; GSA Geoinformatics Division Instructional settings present unique constraints and opportunities for the use of point cloud data. Participants will share their experiences with point cloud data collection and manipulation in the service of both topical and STEM educational objectives.

Submission deadline August 2, 2017. ED020: Field Geodesy in Undergraduate Education: Using Photogrammetry, Lidar, Sonar, and GPS to Promote Spatial Learning https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session24165 Session ID#: 24165 Session Description: Technologies for measuring and understanding the Earth are evolving rapidly, but despite their importance in academic research and industry, relatively few undergraduate courses include these methods. High-resolution topographic and bathymetric models generated by structure from motion (SfM) photogrammetry, airborne and terrestrial lidar, and sonar methods can be used for applications ranging from geohazard analysis to geomorphic change and environmental assessment. The global positioning and global navigation satellite systems (GPS and GNSS) are fundamental to precise positioning and provide velocities that can be used in hazard monitoring, groundwater subsidence, engineering, and more. This session invites presentations that illustrate ways field geodetic methods are being used in undergraduate courses. We hope to highlight new initiatives and provide a forum for discussing successes and challenges.
