We plan and host workshops designed to enhance the use of spatial data and maps across the environmental field. Topics include basic functions of ArcGIS, Remote Sensing, GIS integrations and related tools, cartography, data management, participatory mapping, and GIS troubleshooting. Please find our current calendar of events below, along with any materials that resulted from our past workshops.
If you would like to support our work, please consider joining the working group!
Mapping for Collaboration Learning Series
Maps are a proven way to bring partners together and identify areas and issues of common concern. Everything happens somewhere! This learning series explores some approaches to using maps to communicate collaborative efforts.
Topics include:
– Online sources of free maps and geographic information
– Web-based tools for creating and sharing maps
– How collaboratives can share their activities and accomplishments with ArcGIS Story Maps
These resources are for those who are not geographic information professionals but need to use, make, and share maps as part of their collaborative efforts. Share your questions, experiences, and challenges in working with maps and geographic information.
Map and Geographic Information Sources. An enormous amount of free and high-quality geographic information is available to anyone with an internet connection. This StoryMap examines a few of these, including the USGS National Map, state and local geographic information clearinghouses, and other publicly accessible sources such as Google Maps and ESRI’s Living Atlas of the World.
Creating and Sharing Maps with Online Tools. There are many free or inexpensive web-based tools for creating and sharing maps. This StoryMap showcases a few common web-mapping platforms, including the USGS National Map Advanced Viewer, Google Maps, and ESRI’s ArcGIS Online.
