The Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) is looking for a Remote Sensing Analyst. The position is at the IDWR state office in Boise, Idaho. The job announcement is open until Feb 3, 2021.
This position will plan, design, develop, schedule and conduct complex remote sensing analysis projects. For details on this job posting, go to https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/idaho?keywords=remote VirginiaView, in partnership with Virginia Tech and other partners, recently published a new video tutorial series called “Working with Lidar Using ArcGIS Pro”. This resource is appropriate for 2-year and 4-year college faculty who would like to integrate additional online (and self-paced) educational resources with their courses.
Previous tutorial topics have also been popular with geospatial professionals who are seeking a cost effective and self-paced opportunity to sharpen their geospatial skills (or just trouble shoot…). I suspect that the new tutorial series (and other topics listed below) might be appropriate for professionals working with local/regional/state/federal governments, as well as in the private sector. The following geospatial video tutorials are available at no cost, and can be accessed via http://www.virginiaview.net/videos
