NORTH DAKOTA VIEW FACTSHEETS

Highlights from 2022-23

• Students were trained in advanced remote sensing and geospatial techniques and conducted research to identify algae growth patterns in six lakes in eastern North Dakota using remote sensing imagery from Landsat 8 and 9, and Sentinel-2 satellites. The lakes include Devils (pilot study), Homme, Fordville, Larimore, North Golden and South Golden lakes.
• NDView provided scholarships for four graduate students at the University of North Dakota for research and training in remote sensing-related areas. Students conducted research in water quality from melting snow and ice, changes in wetlands, harmful algal blooms, and the tracking of wild turkeys using GPS and GIS mapping.
• NDView provided training in streams and watersheds to more than 100 middle and high school students using an augmented reality sand table at the River Watch Forum in Grand Forks, ND.
