Modernizing the National Spatial Reference System in 2022
Aug 31, 2018 1:00 PM EDT https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8536989102067821314 In 2022, the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) will replace all components of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), including NAD 83 and NAVD 88, with a new system that is geocentric, time-dependent and not reliant upon passive control. Every survey, map or geolocation created today will be incompatible with the new system by as much as 4 meters, depending on where in the United States you are working. This misalignment could apply to every latitude and/or longitude and/or height in your work. In order to assist users in understanding and adapting to the new system, two technical reports were released by NGS in 2017, under the title “Blueprint for 2022”, with a third, companion report in the works. The first two reports provide the scientific and definitional aspects of four new time-dependent terrestrial reference frames and their companion “geopotential datum” (replacing and expanding upon the historic concept of a “vertical datum”). The third report will focus on the user community and how it can work within this new paradigm of time-dependent geodetic control. This talk will focus on all of the changes to expect in the future and ways that all geospatial professionals can adapt and thrive in the new system.

January 18 - Webinar: Internship Opportunities with Student Conservation Association - Available online and in Kidder Hall 128, 12-1pm
CoS Internship Opportunities with Student conservation Association 1/18/2017 12:00 PM - 1/18/2017 1:00 PM Kidder 128 CoS Webinar Internship Opportunities with Student Conservation Association--- If you love the nature and wild life, please join us to learn about summer opportunities that Student Conservation Association (SCA) offers. SCA's 3-month summer internship is the most popular expense-paid opportunities for young conservationists to explore green career opportunities and to gain hands-on conservation and sustainability experience across the country. Join us to learn about the application process and ask recruiting coordinator any questions you have. This webinar is available both on-side in Kidder 128 and online (Once you RSVP before 5pm on Monday 1/16, you will receive a link to join the webinar in a location that is convenient for you.) This event is targeted toward students within the Colleges of Science, Forestry, Agricultural Sciences and Earth,Oceans and Atmospheric Sciences More information & to register: https://www.myinterfase.com/oregonstate/event_view.aspx?token=2j%2f8G7kUSNJsq8erW1VGHw%3d%3d Or please contact the OSU Career Development Center at 541.737.4085 or career@oregonstate.edu --- Example GIS intern at SCA: Senior GIS Intern LOCAL ONLY Expected Dates January 11, 2016 to August 30, 2017 Site San Mateo County Dept. of Parks Position ID PO-00698382 The San Mateo County Department of Parks is seeking a senior GIS Intern with a college degree in GIS or extensive experience in GIS and GPS, to serve as project lead. This intern will work closely with the San Mateo County Park Department's Natural Resource Manager to continue to design and implement a natural resource GIS database. Working together they will design the system, identify data layers, establish data collection protocols, prioritize resources and parks to be inventoried, develop training modules for future data collectors, determine technology needs, purchase selected technology, and implement the GIS database. The Intern will coordinate, train, and help oversee SCA Youth Data Collection Teams in the field collecting natural resource data with I-Pads and other field technology. The Senior GIS Intern works in the Natural Resources Division of San Mateo County Parks, and is the primary GIS representative for the entire Parks Department. This position reports directly to the Natural Resources Manager, but assists other Park staff with GIS-based mapping requests. The Senior GIS Intern is responsible for collecting, cleaning and organizing all GIS files for San Mateo County Parks and adding the files to the San Mateo County Parks Geodatabase. The Senior GIS Intern is also responsible for maintaining and updating the Geodatabase, keeping it organized and ensuring the appropriate files are added to it. The Intern works closely with the County's GIS team and GIS contractors, who maintain a larger, county-wide GIS program and Geodatabase. The Intern should be adept at a variety of GIS applications including "traditional" applications using vector and raster files, and remote sensing applications (NDVI, NRG, etc.). Applicants should be able to interpret color and black & white (with and without near infrared) aerial photography (orthophotos), satellite imagery, LiDAR imagery and false color infrared images. In addition to internal GIS work, the GIS Intern will coordinate with SCA Program Staff in the area to engage local SCA Summer and School Year Community Crews in various GIS-based projects for San Mateo County Parks including, but not limited to trail and trail condition mapping, invasive species monitoring, and facilities monitoring and mapping. In some cases the GIS Intern will lead these activities, which may require working on Saturday or Sunday. For more information: http://www.thesca.org/serve/position/senior-gis-intern-local-only/po-00698382 Friday, July 29th, Geospatial Training Services we'll be presenting a free webinar entitled Introduction to Spatial Statistics Toolbox for ArcGIS Desktop. In this webinar we'll give you a high level overview of the available tools, when to use the tools, and demonstrate some of the more popular tools such as Hot Spot Analysis, Cluster and Outlier Analysis, and others.

Projects like GeoSkills Plus have shown that in many countries, demand for a geospatial workforce is not being met by supply. Central administration (the European Commission and Ministries of Education) seem largely unaware of the problems being faced by the industry. I suggest that more radical change in education is necessary, integrating Geo-ICT in different education sectors. In order to achieve this, connecting all stakeholders will be essential. This webinar reports on initiatives to support and enhance geospatial education in Europe and specifically those undertaken with the European Association of Geographers. It suggests the importance of 'hidden work' developing a strong lobby for geospatial education for all and sets out goals and new projects to redress the situation. Register for Webinar: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/geo-capacity-building-in-europe-webinar-tickets-22545795080 Karl Donert is a consultant and education specialist.

As you know, a new GIS curriculum is taking shape on ConservationTraining; six new courses ranging in topic from the five functions of a GIS to managing your spatial data to creating a map product. One new learning component has been created for each of these new courses, the live seminar event. We are really excited about the LIVE events. The live seminar events will be held via WebEx technology and presented by several of the course authors. Understanding Spatial Data was released about a month ago. The live seminar event for this course will be held next week on Tuesday August 27, 2013 at Noon Eastern Time. This live seminar event will be open to the ConservationTraining community and will consist of demonstrations highlighting functionality discussed within the associated course. The live seminar event will be recorded and posted to the Understanding Spatial Data course room. Make sure to get your “seat” as soon as possible.
