In the News: Researchers showcase tools to make collecting environmental data faster at UOG conference
4/14/2025
Researchers at the University of Guam are localizing environmental mapping tools to make it easier and faster for local agencies to collect information on natural resources such as burnt grasslands and watersheds.
During day four of the UOG Conference on Island Sustainability, “Thriving Natural Resources’” was one of the topics emphasized during breakout sessions held throughout the afternoon where speakers touched on existing terrestrial mapping tools.
One of the speakers, UOG Geography Assistant Professor Jose Edgardo Aban, discussed how the UOG Geography Program utilizes geographic information systems (GIS) and satellite remote sensing technology to determine the effects of forest fires on the environment.
