Day7/Week2

Presentations!

Most of us work up early to add the finishing touches on our common product presentations. While our group had our powerpoint finished a few days ago, I needed to make sure that all of the movie and Google Earth files worked correctly. While I try not to use filler words, I was frequently told that I say essentially quite a bit. Oops, guess I will work on that. However, our presentation went pretty well! I have learned more about geology than I thought I would have… which is good I guess since I joined geology just for that reason. I wanted to better understand natural subsurface activities.

Everyone else’s presentations went pretty well too. It was cool to see all of the common pieces come together with a large amount of contextual overlap. I am not sure that I will be using all of the common data, but once I have a working question, I am pretty sure that I will use at least a few layers. After three hours of presentations, we relaxed and grabbed some pizza, and then started to talk about the next phase of research… individual projects. Although I still don’t have a question, I am excited to take a look at all of the available tools & sensors. I’d also like to talk to the professors who have just arrived to see what they can suggest.

I’m going to clean up our geology & roads layers and start thinking more about a question. I usually have so many questions, so I’m puzzled why don’t have any large ones for this trip so far.

Well anyway, here is an image of an overlay involving the geology layer!
