Paul and Chris talk to Wesley Weatherbee about his research in the Bay of Fundy. Using drones, photogrammetry and other analysis he is, among other things, looking at early human behavior and occupation.
Wesley is a current graduate student in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Saint Mary's University. His research on past cultural landscapes in the Bay of Fundy marries remote sensing and geomorphology with archaeology. He serves on the board of directors for the Nova Scotia Archaeology Society and is part of a diverse team in Nova Scotia developed to investigate critical climate-related risks, opportunities, and capacities relating to archaeology in Nova Scotia. His photogrammetry work has recently been nominated to be in the Cultural Heritage Spotlight on Sketchfab.com. He also runs a blog at digitalarchns.com intending to promote digital archaeology outreach and education.
