GSS Staff Continue Travels

In late August, Analyst Eric Lindquist and Technician Matt Hogan completed their fieldwork for the Colorado portion of the Bureau of Land Management’s NWI wetland mapping update project. The trip lasted 9 days, evaluating mainly draft map data and answering questions about the landscape that are difficult to interpret from analyzing imagery on the computer. The study area encompasses many different ecoregions in the south and west part of the state, near towns such as Grand Junction, Telluride, Durango, Alamosa, and Cañon City. Using the technology of Esri Field Maps application, and ArcPro mapping software, Eric and Matt were able to bring back valuable pieces of intelligence for everyone involved in completing the project to reference.
