  2. Robert will share a case study he is using in a QGIS curriculum he’s developing for use at Hue University of Sciences in Vietnam. The case study is using QGIS and Landsat 8 images to monitor development of a corn crop in a field near Monroe, WA. Monitoring started in April before it was planted and now the corn is 7 feet tall. Monitoring will continue with images every 8 days until after the corn is harvested. The goal is to teach students how to monitor any crop of interest in their country.
