Careers of Women in GIS: How to Be Ethical With Data in a Political World Featuring Rebekah Jones

Tue, Oct 13, 2020 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT
Show in My Time Zone

This webinar series highlights women in geospatial fields and provides a platform to tell their unique professional growth stories and career paths. This guided discussion will cover the speaker’s career challenges, current projects, and career growth.

Doing the right thing in a world where science and data serves politicians and bureaucrats can be difficult. While working for the Florida Department of Health, Rebekah Jones was asked to mislead the public and endanger the health and welfare of Florida’s people. She took the high road and said no, and for her ethical stance, she was fired, and defamed. Instead of quitting, Rebekah built a new GIS-driven set of applications to give the public the information that matters in an easily digestible format, without political influence. Through her work, Rebekah helps citizens around the world make educated data-driven decisions.

In this webinar we will discuss:
-The difficulty of being ethical with data in a political world
-The challenges facing women in STEM
-What is a scientist?
-Growing a career through adversity with creativity and determination

Instructor: Rebekah Jones, Florida COVID-19 Whistleblower, Geographer, and Founder of FloridaCovidAction.com

​Who should attend: Individuals interested in learning more about GIS.

Transitioning to the United States 2022 National Coordinate System without Getting Left Behind

Tuesday July 28, 2020  |  3-4 pm EDT / noon – 1pm EDT

The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has for several years been developing - and promoting - the ongoing modernization and evolution of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), toward the 2022 goal of replacing the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The new positioning paradigm will better leverage the utility of modern positioning technologies - notably the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) – and will impact all users of geospatial data, either directly or indirectly. This presentation will discuss the whats, whys, hows, and whens of 2022 Datum effort.

Presenters:
  • Edward Carlson. As the Pacific Region's Geodetic Advisor for NOAA's National Geodetic Survey, Mr. Carlson, is the a liaison between NGS and the Pacific which provides training, guidance and assistance to constituents managing geospatial activities that are tied to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), the framework and coordinate system for all positioning activities in the United States. The Geodetic Advisor serves as a subject matter expert in geodesy and regional geodetic issues, collaborating across federal, state, county, city, and local users to ensure that all geospatial activities are properly referenced to the NSRS. He also serves as a primary contact for relating user needs to NGS and NOAA plus transferring new technical developments to local users.
  • Michael L. Dennis, PhD, RLS, PE is a geodesist at NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS) where he manages the State Plane Coordinate System of 2022 Project.  He is also involved in evaluation of data​ processing and survey network adjustment procedures, development of  standards and guidelines, and public outreach.  Dr. Dennis is a​ Professional Engineer and Surveyor with private sector experience,  including ownership of a consulting and surveying firm.  He is also an active member of several professional organizations, including the Arizona Professional Land Surveyors Association and the Surveying and Geomatics Division in the Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers

See below for a free webinar series of potential interest, offered by the Johns Hopkins University Energy and Environmental Programs Speaker Series, "Making Sense of COVID-19 Data through Geospatial Technology":
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mapping-a-monster-part-1-tickets-104654504440?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch
​
About the Johns Hopkins webinar series: 

The novel COVID-19 pandemic has already profoundly impacted the world in ways that have not been seen for generations and the full effects have yet to be quantified. Geospatial Technology plays a critical role in understanding and combating the virus threat. Learn how Geographic information Systems Technology (GIS) is being leveraged as a powerful data visualization and analysis tool for making science-based spatial decisions that have real-world consequences. Explore how COVID-19 epidemiology data, location intelligence, and map visualization technology are used to support a variety of pandemic web maps, graphs and applications used to raise awareness, inform public decision-making, and guide policy decisions on a global scale. Through this speaker series, attendees will gain an understanding of: cutting-edge geospatial practices used in epidemiology (past and present), the use and application of GIS on a global scale, the biological nuance of the Coronavirus, and how COVID-19 data can be and is used by city, counties, states and government to make critical decisions.

In Part 1, industry experts will be sharing experiences and big picture workflows of using geospatial technology to display and analyze COVID-19 data. Speakers include:

Enhseng (Frank) Dong, PhD Candidate from Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Dashboard Team
Dr. Este Geraghty, Chief Medical Officer and Health Solutions Director at Esri.

This is the first of a four-part series. You can register for all parts using the links below:

Live-coding demo: How to use the Mapbox Storytelling Template to create a story map
Maps make data understandable, powerful and memorable. Join this session to learn how to use our “Storytelling Template” to quickly build an interactive experience with high-quality map visuals. This storytelling format — sometimes called “scrollytelling” — lets you include as much context as you want, and define the locations your users look at. It’s a great way to bring stories to life.

​You’ll learn how to...
  • Download the template and choose your style
  • Add the places you want to include in your story
  • Add photos and text content to enrich each chapter
  • Publish your project to share it with the world!
