Fall 2018

Post date: Nov 22, 2018 11:49:25 AM

This fall we have 4 undergraduates entering PLS data. We began the semester by entering PLS records from 27 townships from southern Michigan in the Detroit area. These Michigan data will be added to other PLS records from Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota that our collaborators have already compiled. Those records along with our records from Indiana and Illinois are giving an in-depth look at what forests from the 1800s looked like in the Great Lakes region. We have now moved back to entering Illinois data to continue to fill in gaps throughout the state. In addition to the 27 townships in Michigan the students have entered, they have entered an additional 25 township in Illinois. The PLS data machine is cranking away!
