What Educational Professionals Say About Eos

Meg Gaillard

“Some students have never worked in a marine forest setting before. We can track their locations, and that brings us an element of safety.”

Meg Gaillard

Archaeologist, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources / SC, United States

David Foster

“It has of course been an excellent experience for students not only from the internship experience but also the opportunity to work with municipal and experienced practitioners in the field of urban forestry. It prepares them for what they might end up doing after their master’s degree at Dalhousie.”

David Foster

Alumni, Dalhousie University / NS, Canada

Michael Cousins

“Having the Arrow Gold has really allowed us to take this to the next level and teach them the full evolution of mapping with a drone. It allows our students to understand the full process from start to finish.”

Michael Cousins

Partner and GIS Practice Lead, OHM Advisors / MI, United States

Sarah Beaulieu

“Because the question of the burials is such a contentious issue, everything must be done to the highest level of professionalism and accuracy. Even beyond that, because everything we are doing is being scrutinized.”

Sarah Beaulieu

Assistant Professor in Anthropology and Sociology, University of the Fraser Valley / BC, Canada

David Foster 2

“I hope the partnership has been of tremendous value to the municipality not just because of the realized cost savings but because there are all kinds of research opportunities that have generated innumerable recommendations for them … It has spawned incredible opportunities for our students.”
