Poster presentations from two GSE Ph.D. students took the 2nd and 3rd place awards in the student competition at PECORA 20 (http://pecora.asprs.org/). About 400 people from government agencies, academia, and geospatial industries attended the 20th William T. Pecora Memorial Remote Sensing Symposium that was held in Sioux Falls, SD 13-16 November 2017.
Yenni Vetrita earned a 3rd place award for her poster entitled “Assessing Three Satellite-derived Burned Area Products and Combining with Medium Resolution Data for Characterizing Peatland Fires”. Former GSCE senior scientist Dr. Mark Cochrane is her dissertation advisor and Dr. Xiaoyang Zhang is the chair of her advisory committee.
Lan Nguyen earned a 2nd place award for his poster entitled “Detecting Land Change Using Land Surface Phenology Modeling: An Application to the Dynamic Northern Great Plains”. Dr. Geoff Henebry is his dissertation advisor and chair of his advisory committee.
Congratulations to Yenni & Lan for their winning presentations!

GSCE research contributions at PECORA 20
The 20th William T. Pecora Memorial Remote Sensing Symposium was held in Sioux Falls, SD 13-16 November 2017. The Geospatial Sciences Center of Excellence was well represented through presentations by current and former personnel of the Center. About 400 people from government agencies, academia, and geospatial industries attended PECORA 20. GSCE contributions at PECORA 20 were many and varied: 7 talks and 9 posters from current GSCE SDSU personnel, 9 talks and 1 poster from current GSCE EROS personnel, and 12 talks and 6 posters from former GSCE personnel. Find the final program here: http://pecora.asprs.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Pecora-Final-Program-web_11-2-1.pdf
In addition, posters from two GSE Ph.D. students took the 2nd and 3rd place awards in the student competition. Yenni Vetrita earned a 3rd place award for her poster entitled “Assessing Three Satellite-derived Burned Area Products and Combining with Medium Resolution Data for Characterizing Peatland Fires”.
