Geospatial technologies are integral to the work of the Watershed Conservation Research Center.
Geospatial Interns, Julia Desanto '25 and Lauren Dougherty '25, worked on a wide range of research projects including compiling, organizing, and disseminating vast amounts of ecological data, evaluating multiple techniques for drainage basin delineation, inventorying hiking trails at the college's experimental forest, determining if and how landcover influences nesting sites of Hooded warblers, updating the French Creek Water Trail public-facing map and supporting decisions on the placement of signage, and capturing drone imagery of the Harmonsburg fen prior to herbicide treatment.
