This webinar series comes from Great Lakes Alliance for Remote Sensing (GLARS),a bi-national collaboration
between Michigan Tech Research Institute, University of Minnesota, Canadian Centre for Remote Sensing,
Environment and Climate Change Canada, PGC, and SharedGeo, funded through the USFWS, and the EPA. Our team
has been working together since 2016 to develop a framework to better measure change in coastal wetlands
throughout the Great Lakes.
The purpose of these webinars is to share the latest research, as well as
foster conversation and collaboration around wetlands in Great Lakes. Please join us on the third Wednesday
of each month for a 30-minute presentation followed by Q&A discussions on topics such as monitoring
wetland gain and loss, invasive species, changes in water level and inundation extents, development of digital
surface models, updating the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) and more.
