Details on that are here: Background on the Missing Maps project from the Red Cross Each year, disasters around the world kill nearly 100,000 and affect or displace 200 million people. Many of the places where these disasters occur are literally 'missing' from any map and first responders lack the information to make valuable decisions regarding relief efforts. Missing Maps is an open, collaborative project cofounded by the American Red Cross. It aims to put 200 million people "on the map" by 2021 - mapping areas where humanitarian organizations like the Red Cross are trying to meet the needs of vulnerable people. Due to current disasters and rapidly-changing needs, the November 15th Missing Maps tasks will be identified on or around November 1. http://www.missingmaps.org/ The Scholarship Committee at the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (The Imaging and Geospatial Information Society) wanted to remind you that the scholarship application window is open for the 2019 award year.
Awards will be presented at the ASPRS Annual Meeting, which will be held on January 28-31, 2019 in conjunction with the International LiDAR Mapping Forum (ILMF). Scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $7,000 are available to current students studying imaging, GIS, remote sensing, photogrammetry, surveying, and related digital spatial sciences.
