Field Expedition Mongolia . National Geographic . GPS

Last week high schools students at FAB LAB summer program had the opportunity to videochat with team members of the “Valley of the Khans” Mongolia field expedition.

The Valley of the Khans Project is a nondestructive archaeological survey utilizing modern digital tools from a variety of disciplines, including digital imagery, computer vision, nondestructive surveying, and on-site digital archaeology. Our students used the same technology to map the Mission Trail Regional Park during their field project at this San Diego landmark park.

Take the tour of the Expedition on google earth:
