Launched Supply and Demand Interactive Web-based GIS for Supply and Demand Analysis of Rural Appalachian Agricultural Products for the Appalachian Sustainable Development Organization:

Most recently, the Radford University GIS Center provided ASD with a prototype webGIS application. It is an interactive web map of ASD current suppliers and demand partners, which allows a user to locate and analyze service areas, compute different combinations of distribution routes, or look at the socio demographic data for an area. The GIS Center is seeking new grant opportunities to provide ASD with training on the best way to utilize this tool, store data, and further develop the application.

In spring 2012 the Geospatial Science Department and GIS Center collaborated on a course focused on teaching undergraduate students surveying techniques and LIDAR basics. The class project was to scan as much of campus as possible and create a 3D tour and video of campus. One third of the campus was completed that semester, and can be viewed online.

The results of the project were presented in April at the USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C. Read more about this project in an April, 2012 Radford University news story.
