 |T~~#@1~~|Further consideration: Can we do anything more about climate change? Do we want to get into data collection and looking at whether the data we use now are applicable to the long-range questions about climate change? Are data sets really applicable to the problem we are studying? Ted Kochanski and Jerry Harris have proposed doing more about this topic. Still following up with the group about the nature of our interests on this topic. |Keep on list? Push to future.|
 |T~~#@1~~|The art of Space-Time (Anna Barnackna/CEO Mind Mix) Gravitational Lens Effect. (Since the discovery of the first lensed quasars in 1979, this quirky phenomenon has become central to cosmology, as light rays from distant galaxies are deflected (a bit) by gravitational effects of both dark matter and dark energy. DM and DE are the two big mysteries of cosmology – and in physics for that matter.)|**TedK** to contact Barnackna|
 |T~~#@1~~|Development of car navigation devices starting in ~1910 and evolving to the present day using digital computers, map database, and GPX. (Donald Cooke)|[4/27/24] Cooke not sure when he can present|
 |T~~#@1~~|The development of photogrammetry from ~1930 to the current state of the art using a $500 "toy" drone and free software to produce orthophotography 50 or more  times as detailed as the imagery in Google Maps and Google Earth. (Donald Cooke)|[4/27/24] Cooke not sure when he can present|
