Russell G. CongaltonProfessor of Remote Sensing and GISDepartment of Natural Resources, University of New Hampshire

Russell G. Congalton is a professor of remote sensing and GIS in the Department of Natural Resources at the University of New Hampshire. He teaches courses in pho-togrammetry and photo interpretation, digital image processing, and Geographic Information Systems. In addition, Dr. Congalton conducts basic research involving spatial data uncertainty, accuracy assessment, and validation and applied research in using geo-spatial information to solve natural resource issues including forest management, wildlife habitat assessment, endangered species evaluation, change detection, and ecosystem analysis.

Dr. Congalton joined the faculty at the University of New Hampshire in 1991 and became a full professor in 1999. Prior to joining the faculty at UNH, he was an assistant professor of remote sensing at the University of California, Berkeley from 1985-1991 and a post-doctorate research scientist at the US Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station in 1984. Also, Dr. Con-galton has served as chief scientist of Pacific Meridian Resources since its founding and continues in this role with Space Imaging Solutions.

Dr. Congalton joined ASPRS as a graduate student in 1979 and has been actively involved ever since. He has attended every national meeting since 1980, frequently giving papers and partici-pating in panel discussions. He has authored or coauthored more than 100 papers, conference proceedings, chapters and books. His papers have won awards including: 1998 ASPRS John I. Da-vidson Award for Practical Papers (1st Prize) and 1998 ESRI Award for Best Scientific Paper in Geo-graphic Information Systems (2nd Prize). Dr. Congalton was the Conference Director for GIS’87 in San Francisco and was the first National GIS Division Director serving on the National Board of Directors from 1989-1991. He has served on the Northern California and New England Region Boards of Directors, and since 1997, he has been the ASPRS National Workshop Coordinator.

Dr. Congalton has a bachelor of science degree (natural resource management) from Rutgers University and master’s and doctoral degrees (forest biometrics and remote sensing) from the Virginia Tech. He has been awarded four ASPRS Presidential Citations for Meritorious Service and an ASPRS Outstanding Service Award .

Dr. Congalton lives with his wife, Jeanie, and their three children (Ashton, Emma, and Brandon) in Durham, NH. He is an avid hockey fan and coaches his son’s team along with playing goalie once a week.

Keith Lenard Vice President of LandsThe Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Missoula, Montana

Keith Lenard has 13 years of experience in land conservation and natural resource management that includes natural resources planning for a federal agency and national level advocacy work for recreational access. For the past eight years, he has specialized in permanent land protection and conservation fund development for a variety of organizations.

Lenard holds a BS from Rutgers University in Environmental Science and a MS from the University of Washington in Land Use Planning and Natural Resource Policy. Throughout his career, he has utilized mapping technology to help determine and implement conservation priorities, first with the Bureau of Land Management, Coos Bay, Oregon and later as executive director of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, Palos Verdes, California. Lenard is experienced in the 5S Framework of The Nature Conservancy in Lander, Wyoming where he served as director of Land Conservation, and has most recently applied his experience in this and related efforts to craft a blueprint for conservation as vice president of Lands for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Missoula, Montana, a national conservation organization that seeks to protect habitat for elk and other wildlife.

Stevens, FGDC(Invited Presentations)Moderator: Leslie Cone, Burean of Land MangementRoom: Governor’s Square 17

Geospatial One-Stop is one of the 24 Presidential Management Objectives designed to make it easier, faster, cheaper for all levels of government and the public to access geospatial data and information. One milestone is to design and implement a portal to provide federal, state, and local entities and the public a single point of access for data and information reducing/eliminating redundant data collections and archives. This first of the three sessions on Geospatial One-Stop will

provide an overview of the key components of Geospatial One Stop, and describe roles and responsibilities of participating organizations.

Social Event6:30 pm to 10:30 pmEvening at the Denver Museum of Nature and ScienceThe Denver Museum of Nature and Science (DMNS) is one of the leading museums in the nation. But a little known fact is how the DMNS staff integrates the latest in remote sensing technology in their daily activities.

GPS equipment and imagery data is used routinely to plan fieldtrips, locate specimens, inventory locations, and create general maps of both past and current events. “Prehistoric Journey” features bone-based reconstructions of the dinosaurs. More importantly (to us, at least) is the geospatial data that ties together the location of specimen sites to recreate valid maps showing the prehistoric environments in which the dinosaurs lived.

A 55 million year-old rainforest has been uncovered just 30 miles south of DMNS in Castle Rock. It has produced 300 new species of vegetation. Satellite imagery is now being used to locate present day rainforest sites in Brazil and Bolivia to reconstruct the ancient rainforest’s geospatial setting and environment.

Come spend the evening in a casual setting with delicious food, marvelous displays, interactive entertainment, and great people! A limited number of tickets will be available for the IMAX Theater featuring the “Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West”. ASPRS and RSI are co-hosting two showings of the film. Cap the evening on the Sky Terrace with a view of a Rocky Mountain sunset over the Mile High Denver skyline.

Buses will run on staggered departures between the main hotel entrance and the Museum from 6:00 pm until 10:30 pm. Please Note The Last Bus Will Leave the Museum Promptly at 10:30 pm.
