“I applaud the idea of a freely accessible home for Great Lakes data sets. Such a site will lead to more research on, and better understanding of, the most important asset Canada and the US share – the largest freshwater resource in the world.“
Dr. Bob Ryerson, FASPRS
Director General (Retired),
Canada Centre for Remote Sensing
Dr. Ryerson published his first paper on the Great Lakes in 1974 – his most recent in 2022
“The photogrammetric point cloud datasets and digital surface models that Jim Klassen of SharedGeo produced have been invaluable in helping us make better natural resource management decisions and plan for landscape scale projects.”
