As part of this year’s OSU GIS Day events on November 15th, we are organizing a Columbus Sanborn map Georef-a-thon. We are crowdsourcing an effort to georeference historical Sanborn fire atlas maps for Columbus to support CURA’s Ghost Neighborhoods project and a national effort to understand the persistent impacts of redlining on US cities.
Bonus – you can literally see past come alive as you georeference!
Many thanks to OSU Libraries for supporting this effort.
I am honored and pleased to be appointed to the Board on Earth Sciences and Resources (BESR) at the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. The BESR oversees a wide range of Earth science issues, including research, the environment, natural hazards, resources, geographic science and geospatial information, and data and education. It also provides guidance on U.S. participation in international Earth science programs.
I am looking forward to some very stimulating conversations and activities.
