Abstract
Bring your scrunchies and leg warmers! Let’s head back to the late 1980s and watch two short films. One is the official GRASS video of the US Army CERL, narrated by William Shatner, and the other is the 1987 GIS Spatial Analysis Tools Short from the USGS EROS Center. We will relish in days gone by, then have a group discussion on how things have changed or stayed the same. Please bring some garbage to throw in Mr. Fusion so we can fly our DeLorean back to present day!
