We are gearing up for 2023! Our first stint will occur in Unity, SK. Yes, away from the mountains! To understand the relationships of the fauna in the Brazeau Formation with those of the Western Interior Seaway coastal plains represented by the Dinosaur Park Formation, we are conducting research in the Alberta and Saskatchewan prairies. This allows us to compare time equivalent taxa and environments. We aim to be in Unity in late April 2023 prior to moving to our research areas north of Medicine Hat, Alberta for May and June, and finally reaching the Brazeau in July and August after the mountain snow melts out!
GREAT NEWS! A NEW SUPPORT PARTNER!!
Excellent news come though the pipes a couple days ago! We have been able to add another corporate supporter to our growing list. In addition to Arc’teryx, Westbound Campgrounds, and the Dinosaur Research Institute, we are proud to announce that Agisoft is supporting MADP by providing us with Metashape Professional photogrammetric software! With Metashape, we will be able to accurately map dig sites using photogrammetry. This will allow us to create highly accurae three dimensional models that can be manipulated in virtual systems, or even printed at scale using 3D printers for display purposes. Additionally, we will now be able to recreate mountain river valleys to more accurately study areas that are hard to access and correlate stratigraphy through bends in the river.
Stay tuned for tutorial videos on how to use Metashape for various types of projects.
