Spatial-Ed's observations and analysis of impacts to desert for Burning Man 2012
 The challenge is not one of how to prevent any human-induced change, but rather one of deciding how much change will be allowed to occur, where, and the actions needed to control it.

Real-time event monitoring with GPS-cameras, Trimble mapping & ESRI ArcGIS
This stipulation monitoring project for the Burning Man 2008 features the development of an integrated suite of geospatial tools for real-time monitoring of permit stipulations in this unreal (or is it surreal?) environment.
Special Recreation Permit process (SRP) and documents for Burning Man
Objectives
The Burning Man event was first held on the Black Rock Desert in 1990 and has continued since annually. The combination art festival, social event, and experiment in community living starts the Monday before Labor Day and lasts 8 days. Since 1990, the event participation has increased from a few hundred participants to over 50,000 participants in 2010. Permit fees paid to BLM are 7 digits. In terms of both the number of users and fees, Burning Man is the largest permitted event on public lands for any US federal agency. Given the nature of the event activities and the fees involved, it is not surprising that Burning Man commands much public visibility. It is critical that BLM closely monitor and document compliance with the event permit.
