Here are the two projects:
- ArcGIS Story Maps for Apalachicola Basin Trails
Many of the paddling and hiking trails in the Apalachicola Basin are scenic and unique, but also remote and not familiar to the majority of people. This project will develop a GIS StoryMaps to provide more visual information so people will feel less intimidated to venture on unfamiliar paddling and hiking trails.
*Fieldwork is required. Prior experience with kayaking is preferred. Students must be able to provide transportation, GPS units, and cameras. Ideal for students taking GIS, Urban and Regional Planning, Geography, Environmental Science, Environment & Society.
- Marketing Videos for Apalachicola Basin Trails
Short videos can help people appreciate the beauty and biodiversity of the Apalachicola Basin, which brings about greater stewardship. This project will create short videos for select paddling and hiking trails, which will be distributed on social media and shown via an online (and/or in-person) premiere.
*Fieldwork is required. Prior experience with kayaking is preferred. Students must be able to provide transportation, video equipment, and editing software. Ideal for students in Digital Media Production, Media/Communication Studies, Motion Picture Arts, Environment & Society.
