Dan Johnson Ph.D. (IUPUI Geography) and Jeremy Webber (CEES) recently presented “Potential Applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Avenues for Research and Collaboration” at the February Indiana Silver Jackets meeting. The presentation gave a general overview of remote sensing research talking place at IUPUI and how UAVs can be utilized to enhance these efforts.
CEES is now a proud Ambassador of NOAA’s Weather Ready-Nation program! The program is “focused towards building community resiliency in the face of increasing vulnerability to extreme weather and water events” (WRN). NOAA is partnering with the public and private sector to equip individuals and communities with information that can prepare them in the face of weather related… Read more »
Recently, CEES staff and interns braved the cold Indiana weather to take a tour of the Lilly ARBOR site (Answers for Restoring the Bank of the River), led by Jeremy Webber III.
For the past two weeks, fellow intern Keri and I have been creating an online viewable version of the classroom-based CEES Presentation through the use of iMovie. After many hours of learning to work iMovie (neither of us are MAC people) we created a work of informational art!
Many CEES service learning events are centered around the removal of invasive species. One species we remove particularly often is Amur Honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii). Since 2010, CEES has facilitated service learning events for over 880 IUPUI students specifically to remove Amur Honeysuckle, totaling over 3800 hours of environmental restoration service.
CEES is excited for our first-time service learning partnership with the Nina Mason Pulliam (NMP) EcoLab at Marian University for environmental service learning events. The NMP EcoLab is a 55-acre, restored, natural area on the campus of Marian University.
CEES is excited to announce the third phase of the Indiana Silver Jackets, Fluvial Erosion Hazard (FEH) Mitigation Program is underway.
During the fall semester of 2014, the Center’s education outreach program was pleased to have students from Windows on Science participating alongside our staff and interns. Windows on Science is a freshmen science course in which science majors participate in order to learn more about potential career paths in science, develop the skills and habits… Read more »
