This month our special guest will be Gareth Baldrica-Franklin, who will be giving us a tour of the Atlas of the Pacific Northwest, an interactive educational product served entirely with open source tools such as Chart.js, D3, Topojson, Leaflet, QGIS, and Geoserver. We'll also find time to squeeze in some of the usual geo round-up, so bring any items you have and come prepared to share. 5/13/2019 Presentation: Dymaptic on A.I for Safer Cycing Navigation - Tuesday May 28 @PSU (12:30-1:30pm)Read NowPlease join PSU's GIS Club in welcoming Dawn Mott and Christopher Moravec of Dymaptic in their presentation of A.I for Cycling Navigation.
Tuesday, May 28 12:30pm to 1:30pm PSU Cramer Hall - Room 409 Their goal for this project is to inspire others to bike more often. Their data begins focused on Portland, OR as that is where they work and cycle. They've seen the city grow over the past few years and would like to offer safer routing options that learn with the cyclist and are always ready to improve. They may also need cycling volunteers willing to ground truth some cycling routes! Come find out more about their project and the great work they are doing. Here is a link to their Blog with more information on the project: https://dymaptic.com/navigation,/cycling/2019/03/12/ai-cycling-navigation.html Please join PSU's ASPRS GIS Club for another Missing Maps Map-A-Thon! This Friday, May 17 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm Cramer Hall 469 computer lab.
Help volunteer your time and service to put missing places on the map. Must register for the event HERE (only 30 available spots) : https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Portland/events/261400974/ Each year, disasters around the world kill nearly 100,000 and affect or displace 200 million people. Many of the places where these disasters occur are literally 'missing' from any map and first responders lack the information to make valuable decisions regarding relief efforts. Missing Maps is an open, collaborative project in which you can help to map areas where humanitarian organisations are trying to meet the needs of vulnerable people. https://www.orurisa.org/event-3397101

When: May 15, 2019 @ 11AM PT Where: Online Webinar Satellites have been systematically collecting imagery and scientific measurements of our changing planet for more than 40 years, yet until recently this treasure trove of “big data” has not been online and readily available for high-performance data mining. The Google Earth Engine platform (earthengine.google.com) was developed to facilitate “turning pixels to knowledge” at global scale for societal benefit. Earth Engine hosts online a multi-petapixel public data catalog, updating daily, together with tools that support massively-parallel geospatial analysis on datasets such as satellite and aerial imagery, weather and climate. As initiator and leader of Google Earth Engine, Rebecca Moore will describe the experiences of applying Google's mapping tools to the world's pressing problems in areas such as environmental conservation, human rights and creating a sustainable society. The Conservation Biology Institute (CBI) presents this webinar in partnership with the Society for Conservation GIS (SCGIS).

April 11, 2019, 2:00 - 3:00 pm, Eastern Time Presenter: Tim Blackford, NGS Webinar Description: The NGS Coastal Mapping Program produces the national shoreline and other critical data used to update the NOAA nautical charts. The data is also used by coastal resource managers and others for GIS analysis, coastal modeling, and as the baseline for defining U.S. territorial limits. This webinar will provide an overview of how the NGS Remote Sensing Division collects, processes, and delivers shoreline mapping data and products. Technical Content Rating: Intermediate - Some prior knowledge of the topic is helpful. Learn more about the NGS Shoreline Mapping Program: As a reminder, the NGS Webinar Series hosts presentations on various topics related to NGS programs, projects, products and services to educate constituents about NGS activities.
4/2/2019 Join Brian Holmes, and Howard Silverman, for a bioregional beer at The Oregon Public House on Saturday April 6th, at 3:30pmRead NowJoin us for a Bioregional Beer at The Oregon Public House
Apr 06, 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM We'll discuss the online atlas Learning from Cascadia, as well as the futures of bioregionalism in the Anthropocene and a new interactive mapping tool that we will be launching. All are welcome, the first 15 folks to show up will get a free beer. Learning from Cascadia, at cascadia.ecotopia.today, is a set of multimedia maps, bound together on a single web-based platform to create an atlas of the Columbia River Basin and the bioregion known as Cascadia. Focusing on the political ecology connected to this river system, Learning from Cascadia is as much a geography of persons, histories, and collective experiences, as it is a map of locations and sites. |
