Activities
ASPRS Colloquium:
We sponsor a Speaker Colloquium
each term featuring speakers from industry and academia.
One goal of the Colloquia is to enhance professional
development of undergraduate and graduate students in
geography and related disciplines. Our mission is to
develop partnerships between the industry and the geography
students to facilitate research and technology skills.
Scholarships:
We provide various scholarships to engage our members in geospatial technology related activities. Please see our Membership Info page for further information.
Annual Columbia River Region ASPRS Dinner & Meeting:
Our parent organization holds a yearly meeting and
dinner event. Here are a couple photos from the 2008 meeting Services:
Through the Center for Spatial Analysis and Research (CSAR), GIS and cartography
students are available to assist industry projects that
require photogrammetry and remote sensing expertise.
Internships:
Most students work as interns sometime during their
time at PSU. Some of the internships held have
been with local city and county governments, federal
agencies, and non profits. A sampling of recent internships
have been served at the cities of: Beaverton, Gresham,
Portland, Vancouver, Wilsonville, Washington and Clark
counties; and Metro. Federal internships
have included the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land
Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Soil
Conservation Service, NOAA, and Americorps. Local
business such as Space Imaging, BPA, PGE, EcoTrust,
and many others have offered interships providing valuable
hands-on experience for students and quality, affordable
research and mapping services for industry.
Software:
In addition to routine office processing software, our
labs feature GIS, remote sensing and photogrammetry
suites: ESRI ArcGIS 9.x, Intergraph Geomedia, Idrisi Killimanjaro, ERDAS
Imagine, Surfer, Terra Sync, Pathfinder Office for Trimble GeoExplorer
XT GPS; graphics software to enhance cartography: Corel
Draw, In Design; and ecological and statistics packages:
Fragstats, SPSS, Stata, and SPlus. Please contact the Geography Department
