Other Featured Projects

  • UFDP Data Table
  • UNM Geopad Project
  • Measuring Modern Erosion Rates and Spot Comparison Analysis.
  • Digital Hydrology: Sample Image of a high resolution scan near the Sand Hill Fault. Both images were produced from the same scanner data set. The left image reflects processing using MATLAB to enhance the contrast in laser reflective intensity. We are working to calibrate this to rock properties.
  • Erosion Monitoring - Middle Rio Grande, Albuquerque, New Mexico
