Abstract
Digital maps can be referenced to regional or global coordinate systems to place the local mapping in a wider context. For research purposes, this georeferencing can allow better comparison with other maps, as well as integration with other data sets. In one project, maps of the South Pacific island Tonga were georeferenced and the resulting product used to support field research. In the other project, the University's campus was georeferenced to aid with emergency planning.
Annette Lee transferred to the Earth and Planetary Sciences graduate program from Physics, to pursue her interest in the composition and structure of brown dwarfs and exoplanets. She also developed an interest in GIS applications to terrestrial research. She left the program in Summer 2009 to accept an Assistant Professor faculty position in the Department of Physics, Astronomy, and Engineering Science at St. Cloud State University, Minnesota. She received a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, an M.A. in Physics from Washington University, a B.A. in Fine Arts from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and an M.F.A. from Yale.
