PIPELINE MAPPING

Pipeline Mapping is a project initiated by Public Lab organizer and Fulbright scholar Ann Chen to collectively map the Northern Gateway Pipeline route through aerial imagery, oral histories, field recordings, photos and video. From October 1, 2014 - July 1, 2015, she will be traveling along the Northern Gateway Pipeline route organizing aerial mapping workshops with local communities to create an environmental picture and story about these places.

Would you like to get involved? Is there another pipeline you would like to map? Join the Pipeline Mapping Google Group to be part of a growing discussion around pipeline monitoring.
