Introduction to GIS and Aerial Imaging in Fieldwork, July 17-25 2019

In 2019, the FROGBEAR cluster "Religion and Technology", supported by the Chung-hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies, was hosted at Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts (DILA), Jinshan, Taiwan. Oliver Streiter (National University of Kaohsiung), Simon Wiles (Stanford CIDR), and Marcus Bingenheimer (Temple University) offered a hands-on workshop in GIS and Aerial Imaging for the study of religion. We built on previous work surveying the religious landscape of north-east Taiwan to show how GIS data, satellite images, and self-produced aerial photography can be used when researching religious sites.

To the right are the slides and other material for the workshop.
