About Us

Welcome to the geospatial club website! Where we strive to provide a support network for students interested in geospatial analysis. The club is comprised of students from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, including environmental science and management, geology, geography, wildlife, and anthropology. The club serves to answer geospatial questions, provide instruction on equipment, provide learning experiences, and seek out and engage members in career development opportunities. Where applicable, the club also provides funding to support members interested in attending and presenting at conferences and industry related events. Club members also partake in geospatial meet-ups and outdoor events, such as geocaching.

Student Projects

Members of HSU's geospatial club are frequently involved in research endeavors with the University, the community, or with their own independent projects. Both undergraduate and graduate work is exhibited below.

Erin Degenstein

With the aim of restoring and maintaining natural ecosystems, it is imperative that land managers be able to identify areas that are threatened by invasive species. The need for targeted early detection surveys is critical, given limited resources and the immense area of rugged terrain that must be monitored.

Habitat suitability modeling is a spatial analysis tool that provides managers and researchers alike with an understanding of the potential distribution and spread of invasive species.

Velvetgrass (Holcus lanatus) is non-native perennial grass that aggressively invades wet meadows in Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks in California.

This study uses 1,223 recorded presence locations and Maximum entropy (Maxent) modeling to develop habitat suitability maps based on terrain and water features at a resolution of 10 meters.

Results will be discussed in the context of the model's ability to predict suitable habitat based on quantitative measures (AUC) and model applicability throughout the Sierra Nevada. Uncertainty based on sampling bias, original predictor layer data, GPS accuracy, and modeling methods will also be discussed.
