<b>Subject:</b> [Geo4All] Research collaborations in Tangible Landscape ideas<br>
</font><br>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>Dear all,<br>
<br>
Last week i (and my son - as it was school holidays here then, so my son is with me in all my meetings and presentations!) had a meeting with Dr Hermann Klug [1] and Steffen Reichel from the University of Salzburg, Austria. They were here for another EU project
meeting and it was a great opportunity to meet Hermann and discuss ideas for the future. Hermann leads the OSGeo lab at Salzburg and showed me the excellent research that he and colleagues at Salzburg are doing in Hydrology etc [2][3] that i wish to share
with you so those interested in hydrology and landscape related research can build more research research collaborations with his group.<br>
<br>
For example, i understand that Helena and colleagues at NCSU are doing research on Tangible Landscape with free and open source software (GRASS).
<br>
<br>
More details including video at <a href="https://geospatial.ncsu.edu/osgeorel/tangible-landscape.html" target="_blank">
https://geospatial.ncsu.edu/osgeorel/tangible-landscape.html</a> <br>
<br>
We at University of Nottingham are also exploring ideas on Tangible Landscape lab. So might be good to connect all interested in this in different domains (urban development etc). Is anyone else in our network interested in Tangible Landscape ideas or already
using them for your teaching? If so, it will be good to connect ideas.<br>
<br>
Hermann is keen to also connect with all interested in his research to build more synergies, so please email him if you think there are research synergies. Hermann team are also involved in the very successful AGIS conference and i have requested him to promote
NASA Europa challennge at the event and also have a team from Salzburg for this year's competition. I understand that they are having AGIT 2016 ( 6. - 8. July) and FOSSGIS-Conference ( 4. - 6. July), so it might be good opportunity to promote NASA Europa Challenge
at any of these events. Is anyone planning to attend these events. If so, please promote Geo4All and Europa Challenge. All ideas welcome.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Suchith<br>
