Corey White is a Geospatial Research Software Engineer at the Center for Geospatial Analytics at North Carolina State University and the founder and CEO of OpenPlains Inc. He is a core contributor to GRASS, where he develops and maintains tools and addons spanning terrain, hydrologic, and time-series analysis. His research centers on terrain analysis, hydrologic modeling, and topographic change detection, including multi-temporal change detection across the Blue Ridge Escarpment following Hurricane Helene, the body of work that motivates this workshop. He teaches graduate courses in geospatial modeling and UAS mapping at NC State and regularly leads open-source geospatial training for research and professional audiences.
Session
Repeat lidar and photogrammetry reveal how geohazards reshape terrain, but raster differencing may confuse noise with real change. In this hands-on workshop, emergency managers and analysts build robust, uncertainty-aware change detection workflows in GRASS using Hurricane Helene data.
