Coastal Inundation Mapping course
Puget Sound Community College (Lacey)
Feb. 4-5, 2020    or     Feb 6-7, 2020

Registration is now open for NOAA’s 2-day Coastal Inundation Mapping course to be offered on Feb 4-5 and Feb 6-7 at the South Puget Sound Community College.
Prerequisite: One or more years of GIS experience.
 
This 2-day hands-on training provides an introduction to coastal inundation and coastal inundation mapping methods using GIS. Topics include discussion about different types of coastal inundation (i.e., riverine flooding, shallow coastal flooding, sea level rise, storm surge, tsunami), selection of elevation datasets and datums, mapping fundamentals, spatial methodologies used to map flood areas in a coastal environment, and applications and limitations of various types of inundation products.

Upon completion of the class, you will be able to:

• Understand mapping for different types of coastal inundation 
• Understand mapping terminology
• Access topographic and bathymetric data
• Perform datum conversions
• Understand interpolation methods and create digital elevation models
• Understand coastal and ocean observation data and their applications
• Map coastal inundation using a GIS
• Map sea level rise using a modeled tidal surface
• Understand online mapping technology

Coastal Inundation Mapping is a technical class focused specifically on data development rather than data use, and therefore requires GIS experience.
(13 AICP CM Credits/ CEP Points)
 
National Instructor from NOAA:
Matt Pendleton is a GIS Trainer with the NOAA Office for Coastal Management in Charleston, South Carolina. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Marine Science from Coastal Carolina University and a Master’s Degree in Environmental Studies from the Graduate School at the College of Charleston. He works on a variety of hazard related topics with primary responsibilities including working with the coastal resource management community to build GIS and mapping capacity in the areas of coastal hazards and climate change.
 
Option 1 - Coastal Inundation Mapping, February 4-5,  9 am-4:30 pm, $175 (14 AICP CM Credits) 

Option 2 - Coastal Inundation Mapping, February 6-7,  9 am-4:30 pm, $175 (14 AICP CM Credits) 

Lunch is provided.

Welcome to our very first PSU and PCC GIS club event of the term! We are inviting everyone that is interested in GIS to come network, eat pizza and listen to student speakers talk about their summer internships. It will be a great time to get to know fellow students in GIS classes and those in both the PSU and PCC GIS club. Future events for the club will also be addressed in this event, so don't miss out!

There’s still time to register for Build your own 3D map with LIDAR point clouds.

If you’ve seen a semi-autonomous car before, you’ve probably seen a LIDAR (Light detection and ranging) sensor. LIDAR enables a semi-autonomous car to detect surroundings with lasers; it can be used to create 3D elevation maps to help farmers to increase efficiency and it can be used to visualize buildings on a map in really high detail to showcase your real estate portfolio.

We’ll have some fun using a very familiar landmark in Florida as an example.

Be entertained while learning how to:

• Add the color from orthoimagery rasters using gdal2xyz
• Source LIDAR from open data
• Visualize LIDAR with Mapbox GL JS and Deck.gl

Machine Learning in ArcGIS 1-day Workshop | Nov 1,  9  AM – 5 PM | Withycombe 205
 
Gain understanding pertaining to the intersection of spatial analysis and machine learning through Esri technology and tools. This 1-day workshop will introduce participants to advanced analytic tools in ArcGIS Pro. Integration with external frameworks such as R and Python will also be covered via hands-on analysis examples. Orhun Aydin, Ph.D, researcher and product engineer from the Esri Spatial Statistics team, will be the instructor for this workshop. Participants should have working knowledge of ArcGIS Pro, beginner-level knowledge of R, and beginner-level knowledge of Python. Participants must sign-up to attend by October 28th. RSVP below.
