Welcome to The Public Lab Gulf Coast Page
We are: engaged citizens, researchers, educators, comm...
Public Lab is an open community which collaboratively develops accessible, open source, Do-It-Yourself technologies for investigating local environmental health and justice issues.
The Public Lab Gulf Coast office is located in New Orleans, LA at 4035 Washington Ave. You can join other Gulf Coast Public Labbers through our Gulf Coast Google Group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/plots-gulfcoast), where we announce events in the Gulf Coast region and projects that you can get involved with. If you're interested in proposing a project, a new focus in the Gulf Coast region or want to conduct your own mapping session, please contact us, and we'll help you get started (equipment, training, finding volunteers, etc.).
Save the Date for the 2014 annual Barnraising in Cocodrie, Louisiana! We'll be convening for our annual gathering from November 13-16, 2014.
MapKnitter Club meetings are hosted every other week. If you're interested in the technical side of making maps and want to get involved, please join the plots-gulfcoast@googlegroups.com list where planning and announcements happen.
Continued mapping of Barataria Bay. If you're interested in getting involved-- participating in mapping trips or doing image stitching -- please contact Scott Eustis or Shannon Dosemagen. Contact information is below. We'll be using a wiki page to organize this project: http://publiclab.org/wiki/barataria-bay-mapping-project.
Barnraising at LUMCON, Late fall 2014
2013 Plans and Projects
2013 Barnraising. Archived information on the Barnraising: http://publiclab.org/wiki/barnraising-2013.
Public Lab recently received a contribution from Patagonia Clothing Company to do aerial mapping of twenty sites in Barataria Bay that grassroots mappers had previously worked at in 2011. The project is set to run between October 2013 and October 2014.
Public Lab has been working with a team at NASA DEVELOP, based at Stennis Space Station, using the DIY spectrometer to look at refinery flares. To view related research notes, search for the tag "flare".
Public Lab will be participating in DredgeFest Louisiana, mapping five sites ahead of time and collaborating with the Dredge Research Collective to create annotated maps that will be used during the main DredgeFest event in January 2014. To get involved, please contact Scott Eustis or Shannon Dosemagen.
The Gulf Coast region will be piloting a "Map Stitching Team". Similar to the work done during the BP oil spill in 2010, the corp will be a way for people, from anywhere in the world, to get involved in helping to provide technical assistance and do image stitching of data being collected in the Gulf Region, specially during the Barataria Bay project. To get involved, please contact the Public Lab Cartography Collective.
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Mapping 2010-2011
Since May 2010, we have been using balloon mapping to capture aerial imagery of spill-affected sites in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Our work on the Gulf Coast in 2010, was done in cooperation with groups such as the Louisiana Bucket Brigade and the University of South Alabama on a community-led monitoring of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The data has been gathered can be viewed in:
While mapping the oil spill, we were not trying to duplicate the satellite or flyover imagery (though we helped to coordinate some of the flyovers and tried to ensure that the data was publicly accessible). Instead, we were helping Gulf Coast residents to use balloons, kites, and other simple and inexpensive tools to produce their own documentation of the disaster and hoping that such data collection will continue to support environmental research, policy, and regulatory changes in coming years.

Continued mapping of Barataria Bay. If you're interested in getting involved-- participating in mapping trips or doing image stitching -- please contact Scott Eustis or Shannon Dosemagen.

2013 Plans and Projects
2013 Barnraising. The 2013 Barnraising is fast approaching! For more information, or to reserve your space, visit this page: http://publiclab.org/wiki/barnraising-2013.
Public Lab recently received a contribution from Patagonia Clothing Company to do aerial mapping of twenty sites in Barataria Bay that grassroots mappers had previously worked at in 2011. The project is set to run between October 2013 and October 2014.
Public Lab has been working with a team at NASA DEVELOP, based at Stennis Space Station, using the DIY spectrometer to look at refinery flares. To view related research notes, search for the tag "flare".
Public Lab will be participating in DredgeFest Louisiana, mapping five sites ahead of time and collaborating with the Dredge Research Collective to create annotated maps that will be used during the main DredgeFest event in January 2014. To get involved, please contact Scott Eustis or Shannon Dosemagen.
The Gulf Coast region will be piloting a "Map Stitching Team". Similar to the work done during the BP oil spill in 2010, the corp will be a way for people, from anywhere in the world, to get involved in helping to provide technical assistance and do image stitching of data being collected in the Gulf Region, specially during the Barataria Bay project. To get involved, please contact the Public Lab Cartography Collective.
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Mapping 2010-2011
Since May 2010, we have been using balloon mapping to capture aerial imagery of spill-affected sites in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Our work on the Gulf Coast in 2010, was done in cooperation with groups such as the Louisiana Bucket Brigade and the University of South Alabama on a community-led monitoring of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The data has been gathered can be viewed in:
While mapping the oil spill, we were not trying to duplicate the satellite or flyover imagery (though we helped to coordinate some of the flyovers and tried to ensure that the data was publicly accessible). Instead, we were helping Gulf Coast residents to use balloons, kites, and other simple and inexpensive tools to produce their own documentation of the disaster and hoping that such data collection will continue to support environmental research, policy, and regulatory changes in coming years.
The Public Lab Gulf Coast office is located in New Orleans, LA at 4035 Washington Ave. You can join other Gulf Coast Public Labbers through our Gulf Coast Google Group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/plots-gulfcoast), where we announce events in the Gulf Coast region and projects that you can get involved with.
