Here at the @smithcollege Spatial Analysis Lab we’re excited for a new semester of spatial thinking, collaborating, and drone flying!

Stop by to chat about all things spatial and GIS related!

📸 Great picture from one of our students in the drone course, Alyssa!

Looking for fun quotes related to flying (drones) - as example Doug Adams: “Flying is learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” #drones #drones4good #goodreads #teachingdrones #droneart

@tladeras somewhat adjacent, but also helpful to remember beginner's mind

How are folks storing and sharing their drone imagery (orthomosaics, oriented imagery, video, etc)? How do you balance discoverability, access, ease of use? What features do you look for in an image/data portal? Thoughts and reviews are welcome. Thanks.
