GPS Only Exists Because Of Two People: Albert Einstein And Gladys West

0 Comments

Read Now
 
A must read for all GIS professionals!  A short quote to get you hooked:

“She [Gladys West] rose through the ranks, worked on the satellite geodesy, and contributed to the accuracy of GPS and the measurement of satellite data. As Gladys West started her career as a mathematician at Dahlgren in 1956, she likely had no idea that her work would impact the world for decades to come.”

Despite the ubiquity of GPS and her role in developing it, West still prefers to use a paper map when she travels. For someone accustomed to trusting their own calculations, some old habits never die.

This summer PCC has a unique opportunity to partner with Metro for a class project and students who participate will have the chance to create a pedestrian audit adjacent to PCC southeast center based on best practices from CDC, safe routes to school, and spatial research. This audit will provide student based information on how good the 82nd/Division area is to safely walk from campus to key destinations.

This class project will contribute directly to the Powell-Division Transit and Development Project a community-based effort to bring a new regional transit investment to Southeast Portland, East Portland and Gresham that can be built in five to seven years.

Springfield/Eugene, OR: Utilities Data Collection, GPS Data Collector for project

0 Comments

Picture
Looking to hiring a GPS data collector for a Eugene, Oregon project. It starts immediately and lasts through February with possibly extensions to the current project and a permanent position later this year ( a strong chance).  The pay is $15/hr with normally 32 hours of work a week but that is variable + or - 8 hours a week.  Days off would be Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday but again this is variable. This is a field job and with a lot of autonomy so the candidate must be flexible and able to work on their own.  The candidate has to arrange lodging in the Springfield/Eugene area.

If interested contact Philip O'Leary at oleary_philip@yahoo.com for more information.
