Last day of the 2014 Kaikoura fieldtrip! We've a full house with 22 students - the VUW cohort is 4. This is also the first year of AUT's involvement on the trip. So pleased to welcome AUT, Barbara Breen and her students on board (not least because of the tasty, tasty banana bread Barbara whipped up yesterday!). So far we've seen whales and seals, used multiple types of data collection techniques (included an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and different GPS units), gone swimming, hosted an open street map mapping party, run a cartography, competition, cooked some fantastic food, learnt some interesting things about crowd sourcing research, semantics, spatial analysis, metadata (no really, its true!) and remote sensing.
Its been a really good week - and this coming year should be filled with a lot of interesting, exciting and fun courses.
Dr Barbara Breen, GIS lecturer and banana bread maker extraordinaire!
