September 23 marks the 220th anniversary of Lewis and Clark’s return to St. Louis, concluding their now-famous 8,000-mile journey. It was an incredible feat of land surveying and cartography. Without modern tech, the Corps of Discovery relied on fundamental surveying tools to chart completely unknown territory. Clark was only off by 40 miles in his calculations of how far they had travelled! They mapped rivers and mountain ranges, calculated latitudes, and laid the groundwork for the geographic future of a continent. Every boundary line we survey today carries a piece of that same legacy: transforming the unknown into data we can trust.

Our series on the Basics of Surveying Lab continues after a week's break! The next step in taking accurate field measurements is learning how to properly level. In surveying, leveling isn't about matching the ground surface, it's about establishing a flat, horizontal line of sight to accurately measure elevation changes. In this lab, there were two points set in front of Wallace Hall where the ground isn’t quite level. Stay tuned for the next installment of Surveying 101.

Our visitors this week were from the Young Surveyors Network . Jonathan Nobles is Vice President, Matt Herrell is the coordinator for Alabama, and Rick Armond is the coordinator for Florida. The YSN serves as the bridge between the younger members of state professional surveyors societies and the more established members and provide connections and support that students will need when embarking upon their careers.
The Geospatial Informatics Department hosted a Welcome Party for new and returning students with lots of food provided by the faculty. Each students receive some department swag and the ASPLS chapter had a drawing for a t-shirt and hat. Each of the faculty spoke about our programs and themselves for few minutes and there was a short refresher on how to use Self-Service by our college advisor. The photo booth included masks of all the faculty and the party concluded with a trivia game about the department complete with prizes for the winners. We were very happy to see so many new faces and those older students who help maintain our special department culture.

Students in Dr. Hazelton's hydrology lab went outdoors yesterday morning to study how the lakes on campus manage stormwater runoff. They used their equipment to determine if one of the bridges was level. It is nice to have example applications such a short walk from Wallace Hall.
