Dinner will be served in the pantry from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, followed by the main event in the auditorium from 7:00 to 8:30 PM.
Using remote sensing data, including LiDAR (light detection & ranging) & high-resolution satellite imagery, archaeologists are working across scales & mapping sites at levels of detail that once seemed impossible. In parallel, deep learning models are transforming our ability to analyze the resulting large-scale datasets. However, these new developments also present practical & ethical challenges. In this talk, Dr. VanValkenburgh will draw on his own multi-faceted research projects in Peru to discuss how digital approaches are expanding archaeology's reach & scientific impact, while also changing the way that the field works with stakeholders & publics.
