Calling all undergraduate / community college students!

I saw this ad for a "Bizarre Map Challenge" and thought some of you might be interested in submitting a map. The challenge doesn't start until March 1 and goes through March 22nd - so perfect timing for final projects. The grand prize is $5,000, so it could be worth the effort. Click here for the flyer with all the details.

When:  January 22, 2010 - 10:00 to 11:30 AM

            2100 RIVER PKWY
            Portland, OR
Parking
Options: DEA Parking Lot (use entry code #2010*)
Street spots marked 'DEA Client Parking'
Nearby surface parking (90 minute maximum)
City Center Parking at 309 SW Montgomery ($$)
Travel to the site using MAX (street car line)
 
Presenter: Eric Sack, Technology Associates
 
Topic: Best Practices for Publishing Geoprocessing Tools in a distributed environment, Tips and Tricks
Technology Associates developed a sophisticated geoprocessing application using Python and ModelBuilder that is published to ArcGIS Server, to perform geospatial analysis on over 100 data layers that ask questions such as:


·         What environmental layers intersects the project area within specified buffer distances?
·         How far features are from work sites?
·         What are the temporary or permanent impacts in acres for each site?
·         What is the elevation and centroid coordinates (in 8 different systems) for each worksite?
·         Reports on frequency of occurrence for RT&E species and closest occurrence.
 
An Environmental Screening Report is generated from geoprocessing results using an XML Reader to render results.  As part of the geoprocessing task, Technology Associates developed a separate model used for refreshing the FGDB schema.  This minimizes application down-time during data refreshes, cuts hand-on pre-processing time and primes the GIS data for optimized geoprocessing speed.

Oregon Academy of Sciences

Dear Geography Colleague:

The Annual Meeting of the Oregon Academy of Science (OAS) will be held Saturday, February 27, 2010 at Concordia University in Portland. Presentations will begin about 8:00 AM and will end about 4 PM (depending on the number of papers submitted). A mid-morning coffee break and lunch (from about noon to 2:00) provide opportunities to make new Geography acquaintances and renew old friendships. This is an invitation for you to attend and/or participate.

For some years now, the Geography Section has been among the leaders in the Academy in terms of numbers of attendees and presenters. Most importantly, the quality of papers has been high, providing strong testimony to the vitality of Geography in Oregon. Your submission will help insure that Geography stays strong in Oregon.

Presentations on any topics of geographic interest are welcome and may be made as orally-delivered papers or posters. Or, if you do not wish to present, you are welcome to attend, learn what your colleagues are doing, and participate in discussions.

This meeting, the Geography Section of the OAS is soliciting papers for a Special Session on Urban Agriculture. The local production of food is an emerging focus across the social and physical sciences, in government and in the popular media, and research must necessarily draw from diverse perspectives and approaches. This Special Session will provide an opportunity to foster a dialogue across academic disciplines. With this in
mind, submissions are not restricted to just those that identify themselves as "geographers."

Abstracts are due to *Joe Poracsky poracskyj@pdx.edu or Hunter Shobe hshobe@pdx.edu by February 5, 2010*.
