Adam has been involved with CAST since 2005 as a Geomatics Specialist, working on a variety of research projects that included components of GIS based analysis, tool/model development, and low distortion projections (LDP); high-density survey of objects/sites using close-range and aerial photogrammetry, 3D scanning technologies, and survey grade GPS; remote sensing analysis including object-based image segmentation and classification; and the management of large spatial datasets. He has been working with the Center's EAST Initiative support crew since 2006, training 2-12 grade students in the use of GIS, GPS, and 3D visualization software and techniques.
