Binghamton University Anthropology Professor Carl Lipo and Associate Professor of Geography Thomas Pingel are using the same technology used to locate Maya ruins amid the jungles of Guatemala to recreate the scene of the 1944 Battle of Guam in intricate detail, potentially leading to the recovery of missing servicemen. The project is being done in collaboration with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) and the International Archaeological Research Institute.
