Honors Council Lecture Explores Sustainable Energy in Rural Communities

Dr. Anna Carlson, assistant professor of environmental studies at Bemidji State University, and Dr. Jeff Ueland, associate professor of geography, continued the BSU Honors Council Lecture Series with their research on “Empowering Rural Communities: Estimating Solar Power Potential from LiDAR-Based Rooftop Estimates” on Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. in Hagg-Sauer 107.

The Honors Council Lecture Series is hosted by the Bemidji State University Honors Council, the advisory group to BSU’s honors program. It is composed of 12 faculty members representing each of the university’s colleges. Student representatives are also elected to the council by their cohorts for one-year terms. The series provides BSU faculty with a forum to share their expertise and the results of their research with the Bemidji community. All Honors Council lectures are open free to the public.
