A hard place: UO professor finds beauty in Mongolian rock art

INFOGRAPHICS - For two decades professor Esther Jacobson-Tepfer braved the challenging conditions in Mongolia’s rugged backcountry to catalog the country's monuments. For her work she was honored with the highest award by the Mongolian government. Her work was supported through a collaboration with UO geographer James Meacham and the UO’s InfoGraphics Lab.

Karol Gottfredson’s passion for campus foliage featured in Register-Guard

INFOGRAPHICS - In 2014, University of Oregon’s then-first lady, Karol Gottfredson, worked on a project to label the trees around campus so that their stories can be appreciated. Infographics Lab has created a comprehensive “Atlas of Trees” and a brief, self-guided tour of the trees on campus is available through the UO’s mobile app so people can see the trees labeled like museum art pieces while walking through campus.
