Join Esri and Freefly Systems for full day drone imagery workshop!

Whether you are new to using an unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) or you have been flying for years this workshop will offer tips and tricks for flight planning, image analysis, fleet management, and how to make shareable information products from drone imagery. The ArcGIS platform supports an end-to-end UAV workflow that can begin processing in both the cloud and in offline environments using desktop machines. We will demonstrate and discuss how to plan and use the autonomous flight planning software in the Esri platform to build imagery products from 2D and 3D GIS data. We will show the UAV created imagery products from different types of flights and the different types of processing that is available. We will also explore and explain how to configure these processing steps. After the imagery has been processed and we have created the derived products we will show how to analyze and share information using the ArcGIS platform.

Additionally, Esri partner Freefly Systems will be presenting their Site Scan integration solution with the Astro drone. The Freefly Astro is a made in the USA solution to drone mapping. The Astro is compatible with Site Scan for ArcGIS and can carry a variety of imaging payload from 61-megapixel RGB cameras, to thermal, and Lidar units.

Date: August 1, 2023
Time: 9am-4pm (Doors open at 8:30)
Location:
Esri R&D Center Portland

Using and Interpreting Estuary Habitat Maps - Workshop

Using and Interpreting Estuary Habitat Maps
8:30 am – 3 pm

Course Description
An estuary presents a complex array of habitat types that can vary from place to place, depending on underlying physical structure and the characteristics of its waters, sediments and biota; and from one estuary to another. Changes in land use, water, climate, and development increase the complexity of managing estuaries. To help plan, monitor, protect, restore and conserve habitat, managers need a common language and set of terms to compare data, account for local conditions, describe habitat and map estuarine environments. This course introduces a comprehensive system to classify estuarine environments, using simple standards and common terms, for interpreting maps using geographic information system (GIS) tools.

Who should take this course?
Floodplain and estuarine managers including planning, mapping, science, regulatory or related staff.

You will learn how to:
·         Characterize estuarine environments using a system of complementary settings and components to describe observed features.
·         Match specific aspects of the physical environment with associated organisms and biological communities.
·         Make apples-to-apples comparisons of estuarine environments at regional, national, or global scales.
·         Organize data and compare results using common terms and a flexible framework.
·         Modify your descriptions to account for unique features.
·         Use GIS tools to interpret estuary habitat maps, at the desired level of detail, to meet different needs.
·         Incorporate classification information in GIS metadata.

Continuing education credits will be available from the American Institute of Certified Planners – American Planning Association.

The Central Coast GIS Users Group
(http://www.orurisa.org/2015_Cartography_Symposium) is pleased to
invite you to the 2015 Cartography Symposium by the Sea on Friday,
September 25th at the Oregon Coast Community College in Newport, OR
from 8:30-4:30.

Register here:
https://ccgisug2015cartography.eventbrite.com

Presenters from UofO, ESRI and other organizations will cover a
variety of different guidelines and principles to help make your maps
the envy of all your friends. We all know a great map when we see it,
but what are the principles behind making a good map yourself? GIS
has changed map making from a time honored handmade labor, to mass
producing large, data filled maps in minutes.This all-day symposium
will introduce you to the basic principles of cartography (map
making), guidelines you can follow for nearly every map, and tips and
tricks for making your map fabulous. More details, including a draft
agenda, are available on the symposium website
(http://www.orurisa.org/2015_Cartography_Symposium).

Lunch and snacks are included in the registration fee ($35). If this
registration fee is difficult for you, please contact us for alternate
options. In an effort to reduce waste we will not be providing
individual bottled water this year. Please consider bringing a
reusable water bottle or other container for drinking water during the
symposium. We will also have cups available in case you forget. Thank
you!
