Heritage Mapping and Data Integration
In continuing our discussion on the cooperative agreement between the U.S. Department of State and ASOR, known as the Syrian Heritage Initiative, we focus now on the initiative’s remote sensing, mapping and arches. I’m speaking with Dr. Scott Branting, the Director for Geospatial Initiatives at ASOR and the Syrian Heritage Initiative Project Director for Heritage Mapping and Data Integration. Take a listen and stay tuned for future podcasts when we talk with some of the other directors of the initiative on their roles in the project.
