Client: School of Human Evolution and Social Change (SHESC)
Project Type: GIS, Web
Project Status: Active

This project is undertaken with faculty in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change (SHESC) and the School of Earth and Science Exploration (SESE) at ASU to develop GIS mapping services, applications and output files that can be used for curriculum development aimed at the middle-school and high-school levels, for field education for undergraduate students, and for a range of scientific users. These products will provide students an opportunity to explore and visualize interdisciplinary data relevant to paleoanthropology in the Hadar area by making data more accessible and easy to understand. Students will gain an understanding for geospatial data, how different mapping interfaces can be used, and ultimately, how the data and affiliated research supports scientific discovery and hypothesis testing.
