About NebraskaView
NebraskaView is Nebraska's state node for AmericaView, a nationwide U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) program that focuses on providing easy, low-cost access to remotely-sensed data and promoting remote sensing education, research and applications. Our mission is to ensure that Nebraskans (e.g., state and local agencies, K-16 educators) make the fullest use of geospatial data products (such as Landsat images, digital aerial photographs, and digital elevation data) and technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS).
Announcements/NewsGeospatial Revolution Project . Penn State Public Broadcasting, partially supported by a grant from the ASPRS Foundation, is producing a documentary series on the Evolution of Modern Mapping. The excellent trailer, a great introduction to geospatial technologies, can be viewed at http://geospatialrevolution.psu.edu/. AmericaView is a partner on the project and we will be developing educational outreach associated for the project. ASPRS Films. The ASPRS has established a Films Committee to produce video films that describe the history and work of the society. To date five videos have been completed and shown as a part of the ASPRS 75th Anniversary. They can be found at http://www.asprs.org/films.
