Conservation GIS Discussion @ BaseCamp (9/28/16)

This Wednesday September 28th the Conservation GIS group been invited to a share some thoughts over a beer or two in a discussion ... 

Invitation from Jen Newlin: 

GIS discussion idea: Using Earth observation for global challenges

I'm a writer (who loves science) working at a creative firm and I'm trying to better understand how people use NASA data. My first thought was to ask the people who know and use it daily—the local GISers. I'm reaching out to you for my own education, to get smarter about examples of work that showcase Earth observation in new or exciting ways—especially as it relates to global challenges like freshwater availability, food security, natural disasters, etc. The storyteller in me is looking for great examples of existing stories/images/videos of this data in action—and intriguing ideas for what you think could happen. I'd welcome a chance for an informal chat to hear what you think. Please join me at Basecamp Brewing (930 SE Oak St, Portland) this Wednesday, 9/28, from ~5:30 – 7:30. I’ll be picking up the tab. Thanks!

A GIS Technician job in Portland, Oregon is available courtesy of Adecco Engineering & Technology.

Experience with ArcGIS, LiDAR, and experience or exposure to 3D CAD systems are the “Must Haves” for this job. The person in this full-time GIS Remote Sensing Office Technician (contracted) role will process and analyze a variety of spatial data products (including LiDAR data, Orthophotos, and Video) and assist with general analysis support. An understanding of geospatial concepts and GPS survey methods is desired, but not mandatory, and candidates with GIS coursework or applicable work experience are preferred.

5 open jobs. This is a contract and the rate of pay is $19.00 hour.

Lidar (also written LIDAR, LiDAR or LADAR) is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light. Although thought by some to be an acronym of Light Detection And Ranging, the term lidar was actually created as a portmanteau of "light" and "radar".
