Upcoming Events

 

  • Hoyt Thomas, a graduate student in geomatics through UAA’s Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies, will defend his master’s thesis, “Integrating Anomaly Detection and Deep Learning for Locating Abandoned Oil and Gas Wells Using Drone Mapping,” on Aug. 15. Thomas’ work, which is supported through a grant from the National Science Foundation, aims to locate uncapped and improperly sealed oil and gas wells that can pose risks to the public. In order to identify these hazards and gather the necessary data for future mitigation efforts, Thomas is utilizing cutting-edge technology, including drones and artificial intelligence.
