This week the world celebrates Valentine's Day. The holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, which marked the coming of spring with fertility rites and beer. On Februray 14th, 1859, Oregon became the 33rd state in the union, also commemorated with beer.
So, join us on Wednesday evening to celebrate in the fashion of our ancestors and have a beer (or other beverage of your choice)! We will meet at Produce Row Cafe (204 SE Oak St) which has Happy Hour pricing through 7 pm. Early birds will stake out a table on the covered (and heated) back porch by ~ 5:30. Perhaps this free, fun, and rigorous data science analytics MOOC will be of interest to some of you:

Spatial data science allows analysts to extract deeper insight from data using a comprehensive set of analytical methods and spatial algorithms, including machine learning and deep learning techniques. This course explores the application of spatial data science to uncover hidden patterns and improve predictive modeling. You'll work with powerful analytical tools in Esri's ArcGIS software and learn how to integrate popular open data science packages into your analyses.

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:
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. To register, please visit our website: www.coastaltraining-wa.org After you fill out the registration form, be sure and click on the “confirm” button.
