Community

In addition to providing access to data, tools, and related resources, OpenTopography is striving to build a community of users who interact, share knowledge, and build collaborations. To achieve this goal we have adopted a number of "Web 2.0" tools and technologies to better disseminate information and to allow OpenTopography users to interact with each other. The menu at left provides links to social media tools that OpenTopography are using. We also have a calendar of events, our RSS and Twitter feeds, and information on contributing data to OpenTopography.

Fall AGU Special Session on Ground Based Geodetic Techniques and Science Applications

Session announcements for the fall American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in San Francisco are beginning to appear. The following session on ground based geodetic techniques includes an emphasis on terrestrial laser scanning:
Ground Based Geodetic Techniques and Science Applications Ground-based geodesy is a rapidly expanding and evolving technology. Tools such as terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) and/or ground-based radars (GBR) promise to expand our detailed understanding of the fundamental processes that drive a broad range of spatial (3D) and temporal (4D) science applications. We invite contributions that discuss both the technical aspects of the technology and process-based geoscience studies using ground-based geodetic tools such as, but not limited to, TLS and GBR. What are the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of the technologies? How is the technology being used to address static and dynamic scientific problems? We encourage contributions from a wide range of disciplines.
