Geography student Shane Grigsby has won a $20,000 grant from the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØEnvironmental Center for his project on "Topographic Mapping of the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØCampus for Sustainability." Along with his faculty sponsor, Professor Babs Buttenfield, with in-kind support from graduate student Chris Anderson-Tarver, Shane will investigate the use of geometric properties to extract and classify building features on the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØcampus. Measuring building heights and roof slopes, Shane will evaluate the potential solar capacity of campus buildings, resulting in a spatial assessment of the feasibility of solar development across campus.
