October Online Meeting

Last month we discussed a project that made use of LiDAR data collected in order to map potential vernal pools in the North-East of the US, courtesy of North-Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative. This month, the NY/NJ chapter will celebrate World Space Week (even if a few days late) with a conversation around this year's theme, "Satellites Improve Life”.  There will be a 5-10 minute presentation, then we will discuss the advances in environmental science and conservation that were made thanks to satellite technologies, and about the growing need for specialists in the satellite data processing field. Everyone whose research benefited from satellite-collected data or who is interested in incorporating these data in future projects is welcome to weigh in.

If you are interested in presenting at our upcoming online meetings, please use this form.
The online meeting link will be posted on the day of the event.

We are planning an in-person networking event at our former meeting place, Bedford Falls. This event is registered on gisday.com, so we will be giving away five free ESRI licenses for personal use. The rules for the raffle are mentioned in the Meetup event. We greatly enjoyed our October hike in Brooklyn Botanic Garden  and we planned more ambitious hikes for next year. We are also considering transferring our event announcements to Eventbrite . This event is a chance for new potential members of our chapters to get to know us better and forge new collaborations in the field of conservation GIS. Please note that you will need to RSVP on Meetup one week ahead for reserved seating, there is a ten person maximum, and proof of vaccination is required.
