This project focuses on developing remote sensing tools and validation methods for hazard mitigation and resource protection in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Panama and soon Costa Rica. We are working towards two important goals: (1) to develop a formal linkage among geoscience agencies in the four countries, focusing on the collaborative development of remote sensing tools for hazard mitigation and water resource development, and (2) to build a new educational system of applied research and engineering, using two existing educational programs at Michigan Tech: a new Peace Corps/Master’s International program in Natural Hazards which features a 2-year field assignment, and an undergraduate Enterprise program, which gives teams of civil, environmental, and geological engineering students the opportunity to work on real-world problems over multiple years in a business-like setting. |
