NORTH DAKOTAVIEW
CONSORTIUM OVERVIEW
2014 - 2015
ENHANCING THE UNDERSTANDING AND USE OF REMOTE SENSING IN NORTH DAKOTA
North DakotaView (NDView) is a member of the AmericaView Consortium, a nationally
coordinated network of academic, agency, non-profit, and industry partners and
cooperators that share the vision of promoting and supporting the use of remote sensing
data and technology within each state.
Led by the Department of Geography & Geographic Information Sciences at the
University of North Dakota and established in 2004, NDView is dedicated to promoting
remote sensing and geospatial technologies within North Dakota. NDView engages in the
development of education and training curricula within colleges and universities
throughout the state and enhancing technology transfer, applied research efforts, and
workforce training. NDView’s partners include several of the state’s academic institutions.
The mission of NDView is to support the successful acquisition, distribution, and use of
remotely sensed data at minimal to no cost for training, education, and applied research
within North Dakota's higher education institutions, and to bring these data and
technologies into the hands of the public. The consortium awards scholarships for
professional development in remote sensing and geographic information systems.
NDView also conducts applied remote sensing research projects that improve monitoring
and understanding of landscape changes in the state related to Bakken Oil Boom impacts,
Devils Lake flooding, and agricultural and conservation land-cover change.
