Koreen\u2019s thesis research focuses on the use of active remote sensing technologies (LiDAR and SAR) to improve techniques in mapping and monitoring peatland hydrological conditions (water table depth and soil moisture).&nbsp; In order to better understand and validate information gained through remotely sensed imagery, her work involves extensive field data collection and has taken her to many sites throughout temperate and sub-arctic Canada.<br>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/library.carleton.ca\/services\/scholarly-communications\/open-access\/gs-oa-award\/2015-2016-award-recipients\">Carleton MacOdrum Library, 2015-2016 Award Recipients<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"best-student-oral-presentation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Student Oral Presentation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently at the&nbsp;37th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing in Winnipeg Koreen was also awarded 3rd place for Best Student Oral Presentation.<em>&nbsp;<\/em>She presented an&nbsp;oral presentation entitled \u201c<em>Assessment of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-acquired imagery for creation of point clouds, digital elevation and surface models (DEM and DSM) and orthophotos: case study within vegetated peatland environments<\/em>\u201d (co-authors: Lindsay Armstrong, Fernanda Moreira Amaral, Doug Stiff and Murray Richardson).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Congratulations Koreen!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2015-2016&nbsp;Graduate Student Open Access Award Congratulations Koreen on receipt of a&nbsp;2015-2016&nbsp;Graduate Student Open Access Award!
