Since the barn raising, Public Lab and Riverlink have been working together to map the French Broad river and in November 2011 hosted a map stitching workshop. Western Carolina University: The Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines is now equipped to do balloon and kite aerial photography using techniques perfected by GrassrootsMapping.org. PSDS worked with grassrootsmapping.org, GonzoEarth, and the Louisiana Bucket Brigade on imagery associated with the BP oil spill in the spring and summer of 2010. Adam Griffith of PSDS is leading students on the current effort to map the entire WCU campus. An overview is below.
