Our NSF REU Site in Belize provides international research experiences for a diverse group of U.S. undergraduates to engage in summer fieldwork with a variety of community partners and across disciplines. We use Participatory GIS (PGIS) to explore flooding and erosion in a data-scarce context through spatial storytelling. We employ qualitative sketch mapping along with GIS and drone imagery as a way to visualize local knowledge about community perceptions of flooding.
