December 17, 2009 (Des Plaines, IL) - Ten years after announcing that electronic copies of the URISA Journal would be made freely available to teachers and learners everywhere via the World Wide Web, the Journal’s electronic archives have become one of the richest collections of open educational resources in the geospatial field.
As of December 2009 there are 196 peer-reviewed articles in 40 issues of the URISA Journal freely available at http://www.urisa.org/journal_archives. The Journal is one of only three journals listed by the Directory of Open Access Journals (http://www.doaj.org) under the keyword “gis,” and it is the only one to be ranked among 46 leading geographic information science (GIScience) journals by Caron and colleagues in 2008. Caron and colleagues’ combined a Delphi study of 40 international experts and a quantitative comparison of journal citation rates to identify and rank leading periodicals in the GIScience field. They ranked the URISA Journal 14th in relative importance among 46 periodicals. According to president Kathrine Cargo, “the sustained quality of the URISA Journal confirms the quality of our authors’ research, the dedication and skill of our editorial team, and the viability of open access publishing. URISA is proud to contribute these valuable resources to the benefit of the geospatial enterprise worldwide.” In 1998-99 Harlan Onsrud offered to serve as editor on the condition that the URISA Board of Directors agreed to publish open-access version the journal. Onsrud was concerned about escalating costs of academic journal subscriptions, and about scholars’ responsibility to “maximize dissemination of our works and our readership.” At the time, URISA President Joseph Ferreira stated that “while commercial publishers best make progress through exclusivity and control, the URISA Journal editors believe that science and new knowledge is best advanced through an intellectual environment of openness and freedom” (URISA 1999) References Caron, Claude, Stéphane Roche, Daniel Goyer and Annick Jaton (2008) GIScience Journals Ranking and Evaluation: An International Delphi Study.

The three-semester Masters program targets holders of Bachelor degrees in application areas of Geographic Information (GI), e.g., environmental planning, regional planning, geography, logistics, transportation, marketing, energy provision, computer science. GI is a rapidly growing market, lacking qualified GI personnel and offering excellent career chances. Therefore, the Masters Program targets life-long learning for graduates and professionals in the fields of geography, surveying, planning, local adminstration, etc., who are willing to acquire additional GI skills for applying them in their respective GI application area.

Portland, Oregon: A new geologic digital data series for the southern Oregon coast is being released today by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI).
The Lidar Data Quadrangle Series (LDQ) This release in the LDQ series (data only) covers both individual and bundled USGS quadrangles along the coast from Brookings to Florence and huge swaths of inland coastal areas. This data is part of a data publication series that will eventually provide complete lidar data for most of the inhabited areas of the state. Please refer to the attached map for details or go online to see a list of the USGS quads and data available at: http://www.oregongeology.org The data in the LDQ series however, are designed specifically for use with specialty Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software and include only raster based data; in other words, a file with a regular grid of elevation values. Lidar data originate as large numbers of measured points which have been filtered and processed to produce the rasters in the LDQs. The point data (point cloud) requires special software and expertise to use, and creates very large files, so it is not included in this publication series. You can learn more about the collection of lidar data in Oregon and the Oregon Lidar Consortium online at: http://www.oregongeology.com/sub/projects/olc/default.htm What: ArcPad Studio 8 Training
