The Oregon Web Map Developers need your participation in the review of a few web mapping applications.
Please help us provide better services to the public (and to you) by reviewing any of the web mapping applications listed below and completing this survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PW8P7NR Five web mapping applications created by Oregon state agencies would like to gather feedback to improve this and future applications. Please complete the survey for any one of these applications. You may complete a survey for as many of these applications as you would like. Each application should have its own survey. These applications are: 1) ODOT's Oregon TransGIS (https://gis.odot.state.or.us/transgis/ ) 2) DOGAMI's Statewide Geohazards Viewer (http://www.oregongeology.org/hazvu/ ) 3) OWEB's Improving Habitat Access for Fish (http://www.oregon.gov/OWEB/MONITOR/pages/fishpassage_viewer.aspx ) 4)OWEB's Investment Tracker ( http://www.oregon.gov/oweb/docs/oitt.html ) 5) OWRD's Water Rights Mapping Tool (http://apps.wrd.state.or.us/apps/gis/wr/ ) Review ends January 2, 2013 Research Officer/Researcher GIS (Ref. 1269)
The Center for International Forestry Research advances human wellbeing, environmental conservation and equity by conducting research to inform policies and practices that affect forests in developing countries. We are one of 15 CGIAR research centres. Our headquarters are in Bogor, Indonesia, and we have offices in Asia, Africa and South America. The Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) received a grant from the African Development Fund (ADF) in various currencies to support the implementation of the Convergence Plan of the Central African Forest Commission (COMIFAC) by funding the Support Programme to the Conservation of Congo Basin Ecosystems (PACEBCo). It intends to use part of the said grant to make payments through its agreement signed with CIFOR under the ‘Climate Change and Forests in the Congo Basin: Synergies between Adaptation and Mitigation’ project (COBAM), within the framework of the implementation of sub-component 2 of Component 2 of PACEBCo. The project will contribute toward developing an appropriate response to vulnerability to climate change in the landscapes of the Congo Basin. It will provide decision makers, practitioners and local communities with information, analysis and tools needed to design and implement policies and execute projects to adapt to climate change and reduce carbon emissions in Congo Basin forests, with equitable impacts and co-benefits on poverty reduction, improving ecosystem services other than carbon, and protecting livelihoods and local rights.As part of the implementation of the COBAM project, CIFOR is looking for a Research Officer or Researcher, GIS.General duties and responsibilities In coordination with the supervisor, the CIFOR/COBAM Research Officer/Researcher will work with other project consultants to do the following:

Staff diversity contributes to excellence. We are looking for people who share our mission and our commitment to impact, professionalism, innovation and collaboration Job Duties:
The Web Developer is the primary web programmer for the Montana Natural Resource Information System (NRIS), a highly dynamic and technology focused program of the Montana State Library. As a very early adopter of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Internet, NRIS uses these tools to deliver valuable natural resource data to our patrons both locally and around the world. This position supports the agency’s information sharing mission through the efficient and responsible deployment of web applications and services. Primary duties involve the design, development, and support of web applications including GIS web mapping applications (nris.mt.gov/interactive). This position also regularly provides back-up support and on-call support to other team functions such as networking and software/hardware administration. Less frequent duties include managing information technology projects, providing input to the agency information technology plan, and assisting in the development and enforcement of best practices, standards and policies.

Tuesday, December 18th Noon to 1:00 pm Portland Building Auditorium 1120 SW Fifth Ave., 2nd Floor Portland, OR 97204 The Columbia and Willamette are shaped by a striking array of physical and biological processes. Recent, highly detailed, geomorphic mapping of the Lower Columbia River and portions of the Willamette River are revealing landforms created by geologic processes that work over a variety of temporal and spatial scales—from the ice-age Missoula Floods, which defined overall valley geometry, to annual freshets that build channel-flanking sand bars. This mapping aids conservation strategies by providing an inventory of landforms and associated habitats; a basis for evaluating alterations and trajectories; and, most importantly, a framework for linking habitats and landforms to specific formative processes, thereby equipping managers with data needed to achieve realistic and sustainable objectives. Join Jim O’Connor, research hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, as he describes how our area’s newest mapping is shedding light on conservation opportunities. |
