Mapping Trees: As tree-planting efforts take root in cities around the world, urban managers turn to geospatial tools to map and monitor their community’s canopy cover.

Surveying for Safety: Lush vegetation, beautiful ocean vistas, and a historic valley provide the setting for a complex engineering project that needed to address cultural and technical considerations on Hawaii’s northern shore.
