Determining rover trafficability on Mars, mapping the local agricultural and rural landscape in Lindsay, and monitoring the invasive longhorn beetle are just a few of the many student projects that will be on display at the annual Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Open House at Fleming College’s Frost Campus.
