Camel collections now accessible on the BTAA geoportal
Camel collaborates with the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) to integrate the lab’s wealth of data with the alliance’s geoportal in order to make the maps and satellite imagery widely accessible. The geoportal allows the exploration of our data by way of a webgis application, querying maps and imagery together with the more than 50 000 geo-referenced datasets from the Big10 partner institutions.
