Brookhaven's Drone Project

Speaker: Scott Sires

Brookhaven college will present recent experience in July of this year using a UAS to create an OrthoMosaic image of the campus. The effort included one day of creating ground control point targets, a second day of flying and a third day for data processing using Esri’s Drone2Map solution. The result was a 200 acre image with a pixel resolution of 2.25 inches. The image, which currently sits in the cloud in ArcGIS online will be shared.

2:00pm - 2:30pm 

User Networking 

Speaker: Gerald Bartz

A GIS study was used to  quickly assess the risks of fracking proximal to the Lake Lewisville dam, ranked the 8^th most hazardous in the country. GIS combined  Oil and Gas exploration pattern recognition skills with available imagery and historical data into an assessment comparing the proposed fracking site to a nearby site having fracking induced earthquakes. The locally televised presentation resulted in protest letters from 500 individuals and 6 municipalities. Subsequently, the acreage, along with that from 3 other Texas reservoirs, was withdrawn from the lease sale.
