OSU Survey Camp | Part 2: Field Work Safety
Oregon State University’s Survey Camp is a 1.5-day immersive training designed to prepare geomatics graduate students for real-world fieldwork.

This session, led by Assist. Prof. Erzhuo Che from Oregon State University, provides a practical overview of field safety procedures for geomatics graduate students. It emphasizes preparedness, communication, and situational awareness in diverse field conditions — from urban highways to remote forested sites.
