ASPRS - Florida International University Student Chapter

A huge thank you to from [etiqueta @ a Langan], and [etiqueta @ a Jennifer Triana] and [etiqueta @ a Kyle Keller] from [etiqueta @ a TopoDOT Solutions] for making day 2 of our Intro to SLAM workshop a wrap! 🙌🌴

The ASPRS Student Chapter at FIU hit the nature preserve to scan the perimeter in groups with Leica handheld and backpack SLAM sensors. Russell led the field demo, and Jennifer and Kyle taught us how to extract trees and classify the point cloud. 📡

This was a great opportunity to test how well these sensors could work for forestry applications and stay current with emerging technology in our field. 🌳

Thank you all for investing in the next generation of geospatial and remote sensing professionals! 💚

Thank you as well to our President, and Vice President, [etiqueta @ al VP], for organizing this workshop.

We’re looking forward to day three, where we’ll be discussing students’ work and exploring the collected dataset using the TopoDOT software! ➡️ Swipe for the behind-the-scenes!

INTRO TO REMOTE SENSING WORKSHOP 🛰️

The ASPRS FIU Chapter is happy to announce our first event of the Fall 2026 semester!

📅 Fri, Sept 25
⏰ 3–5 PM
📍 GL 275

Join us to learn the basics of remote sensing and get a preview of everything we'll be exploring this academic year. New to the field or looking to sharpen your skills? This is a great place to start! 🌎

Plus, we'll have some hands-on demonstrations you won't want to miss! 🙌

Let us know you're coming. RSVP by scanning the QR code on the flyer! 📲

ASPRS FIU in the building! 🙌 Our chapter rolled up to the 2026 UF/FL-ASPRS Spring Geospatial Workshop ready to learn, network, and represent. Two workshops a whole lot of geospatial geekiness, and even more new connections later — we're walking away inspired (and maybe a little obsessed with digital twins 👀).

Huge thanks to ASPRS - Florida Region for putting so much effort into this workshop and supporting all student chapters

We had an amazing turnout at our first Intro to Remote Sensing workshop🌎🛰️!

Thank you to everyone who attended and made this event such a success. And thank you to our amazing students that presented on the applications of remote sensing and photogrammetry in their research!. We were excited to introduce the fundamentals of remote sensing and see so much interest in geospatial science from our panthers.

We also want to thank our sponsors ASPRS Florida Region, for supporting our student chapter and helping make this workshop possible.

Stay tuned for more workshops and events coming soon!

Join us this March 20th for our first Intro to Remote Sensing Workshop

🚀 ASPRS FIU Chapter at Geo Week 2026! 🚀

First time at Geo Week and we showed up strong! 💪

The ASPRS Florida International University Student Chapter proudly attended Geo Week 2026 for the very first time!

From connecting with industry leaders to exploring the latest innovations in LiDAR, remote sensing, and mapping technologies, this experience was truly inspiring for our students.

We are incredibly grateful for the support that made this opportunity possible.

A special thank you to our sponsors:
🔹 ASPRS Florida Region
🔹 FIU CREST ( Center for Aquatic Chemistry and Environment - FIU)
🔹 FIU Institute of Environment

Your support empowers our students to grow professionally, expand their networks, and represent FIU.

We’re coming back with new ideas, new connections, and big goals for our chapter!
