Current IndianaView Participants: Ball State University Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Indiana University Indiana University-South Bend Indiana State University Martin University Purdue University Purdue University-Calumet University of Notre Dame Vincennes University Consortium of Universities for Spatial Information Science Geography Educators’ Network of Indiana Indiana Geographic Information Council Indiana Geological Survey Indiana Space Grant Consortium Begun: 2004 Purpose: Promote sharing and use of public domain remotely sensed image data (aerial and satellite platforms) for research, education and applications. Part of AmericaView Funded through USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) http://www.indianaview.org/ A bit of AmericaView history
Brief AmericaView History 1998: OhioView was pilot program; funded by NASA Ohio Congressman Regula helped push the program OhioView worked with the USGS to establish infrastructure to support routine acquisition, processing, and delivery of Landsat and other remotely sensed data to state user community 2000: Congress instructed USGS to begin implementing vision nationwide; AmericaView Program was born
AmericaView http://www.americaview.org/ Nationwide program focused on remote sensing image data and spatial technologies to support K-16 education, workforce development, technology transfer and applied research. AmericaView (AV) Consortium comprised of 40 university-led, state-based consortia working together to build a nationwide network of state and local users. Each state-view implements the programs that best fits the needs of the state. AV supports many uses of remotely sensed data through education, outreach, research & data sharing among AmericaView members. Promotes Earth Observation Day (April 8th this year) (www.americaview.org/earth-observation-day) Changing to Earth Sciences Week (Oct 14 this fall)
