Thesis update

[tsaiko]

Pictures I took have been labeled, plants identified, and uploaded to the site. I found the missing images. All is good.

Next week I will start with the image analysis (or at least get it ready to go). I will also get those two databases to play nice or I will set something on fire.

Scheduling a meeting with two of my advisers, however, is like herding cats. Classes haven't even started yet! What the heck are you people doing?!?!

I'm thinking of making a thesis icon.

I bet the profs are on academic leave. Where I work the faculty and some staff get half of every student break (except summer) off as paid academic leave. They are supposed to switch off which half they are gone, so that every department is staffed by someone the whole time, but... it doesn't always work out that way.

Good luck!! Congrats on finding the missing pics.

Both of them are on campus. They just seem to be running around in meetings, planning, etc. Don't they know my thesis is more important?!?! XD

My thesis is on using high-resolutions satellite imagery to map aquatic plants (specifically those larger than algae) in small fresh water lakes. Basically, I'm seeing if it's feasible (yes), cost effective (probably not), and better than ground work (yes, but with limitations).

It's especially fun since I know squat about aquatic plants. It's been a real learn as you go kind of deal.

Yeah, turns out I was a doofus and accidentally sent them to the recycling bin. Good thing I rarely clean that sucker out. XD
