Data Acquisition and Evaluation/GPS Class
Data Acquisition and Evaluation/GPS
Feb. 20 & 21 & March 6: Fri. & Sat., 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
2 Units Academic Credit
In Winter Term, 2015 run this course will introduce for the first time Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS, or ‘drones’) and their rapidly evolving roles in land management and other applications. The course will open with a special, interagency webinar that will inform students about upcoming UAS policies and regulatory environments for research and commercial operations. Through brief lectures, classroom computing sessions, and outdoor and indoor exercises, students will explore alternatives for coupling digital imagery with GPS-derived positions, and will evaluate data quality in imagery and GPS-derived positions. Skills in preparation of metadata will be cultivated throughout the course, with emphasis on data quality elements. Students will build upon project work of their choosing, concluding with hands-on building of a geographic database (geodatabase) in industry-standard format.
Visit bit.ly/UCDEGPS2015 for more information or to enroll.

If you have never attended a CalGIS conference, I think you would be pleasantly surprised at what a valuable experience it can be. This year it’s in Sacramento, which means that many of us won’t have to deal with travel and lodging expenses to attend. The conference fee is nominal. I encourage you to consider attending.
The Call for Presentation Abstracts is out and the deadline is February 2.
Participate! What have you been working on that you would like to share with your GIS colleagues and peers in California? Tips & tricks, research, success stories or cautionary tales?
Participation may come in a variety of formats including:
• Map Gallery
• Poster Presentation
• Lightning Talk
• Presentation
• Active Learning
Abstracts are due no later than February 2, 2015.
For participation details and an online abstract submission form, visit www.calgis.org and be sure to follow @CalGIS on Twitter!
Christina Boggs is the 2015 Conference Chair, so you know it will be, as Christina says, “AWESOME!”
