GooglEarthDay will explore the work currently being done with Google Earth modeling and applications by individuals in the Ann Arbor area. The morning session will take place in 2024 Dana and will feature talks by researchers in the field, and the afternoon session will allow participants to tour the Map Library at the Hatcher Graduate Library and the 3D Laboratory at the Duderstadt Center.
