What are the DoGGS up to this summer? 🐾

Dr. Salo and spent the week in Rocky Mountain National Park conducting fieldwork for a project mapping historic agricultural ditches. Along the way, they spotted plenty of wildlife, heard wolves, and found several ditches where their predictive model said they would be.

Nothing beats seeing GIS, history, and fieldwork come together in the field! 🌲🗺️🐺
