What it is:

A project to map terrestrial anomalies (called 'mounds') across the USA using machine learning.

What I did:

  • Develop an interactive web application to visualize mound data.
  • Continuously expand mound mapping coverage, with updates for areas like Arkansas and plans for the entire USA.
  • Identified 1.2 million mounds in Arkansas

This project is designed to serve as a tool for researchers, hobbyists, urban/rural planners, and community members, marking the location of each mound in the USA. It aims to raise awareness of the mound problem, while aiding in research in the study of their origin. This tool allows researchers to: Study mounds from new perspectives Perform statistical analysis on data Use mounds data in various spatial formats Use mounds data in various software
