Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity where participants (geocachers) utilize a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or smartphone to download coordinates in order to navigate to the location of a hidden container, a geocache. Since its inception in 2000 geocaching has grown exponentially. The potential ecological and recreation management...
Advances in technology such as 3D digital scanning and spatial analysis software have provided archaeologists with novel data. Specifically, these methods increase the researcher's ability to measure artifact morphology and past networks of cultural transmission, to potentially track the movement of past peoples and ideas through space and time. This...
The use of remote sensing techniques in coastal science and engineering has rapidly increased in the past few decades. This dissertation outlines new remote sensing tools using two remote sensing technologies (lidar and X-band marine radar) along with two nearshore hydrodynamic and morphodynamic analyses supported or motivated by these remote...
