| description |
This course is an introduction to navigation-grade Global Positioning System (GPS) instruments used in agriculture and environmental science. Emphasis is placed on instrument familiarization, field data collection and processing, real-time and post-differential correction, and GPS-GIS integration. The course is designed to be a very practical, hands-on experience with GPS instruments used for field-based survey and mapping of plots, fields, boundary conditions, and other bio-physical features. The Course Objectives are 1) Familiarization of GPS instruments in a field setting; 2) Collection of position data and feature boundary definition; 3) Correction of position data using various methods; 4) Transfer of data from a GPS environment to a GIS environment; 5) Estimation of area and perimeter of delineated feature(s); and 6) Production of maps depicting spatial location and extent of delineated feature(s) Professors Arthur J. Lembo, Jr. and Stephen D. DeGloria, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, Cornell University |
