IMLS Conservation Bookshelf Grant, June 2009:

I began collaborating with KAWS-KELP/KVHA-KWO & KSHS Kaw Mission to advocate digital library initiatives via http://geoventuring-lnt.blogspot.com/ (mid-2005) …

[A] OCTA-Trails Admin-Manager Travis Boley challenged me to adapt Wisconsin’s Ice Age National Scenic Trail as a model for documenting Kaw Valley’s “California Road” stagecoach route from Westport to Lawrence in Aug-2005.

Our KELP Class 6-2005 Advanced Leadership Project hatched the “Ridges of Leavenworth County” to overcome elevation awareness deficiency and to empower Google Maps adding a new “Terrain Tab” plus photo geo-tags!

[B] I represented Kaw Valley Heritage Alliance at Westport’s 2006 National Heritage Alliance (NHA) workshop. KVHA & OCTA-Trails hosted a Mapping Emigrant Trails (MET) workshop at Kanwaka Township Hall (May-2007)

Geomorphology, scientific study of landforms and landscapes. The term usually applies to the origins and dynamic morphology (changing structure and form) of the earth's land surfaces, but it can also include the morphology of the seafloor and the analysis of extraterrestrial terrains.
