Join us for our next meetup! Come talk maps, data, and anything geospatial/geography. Everyone is welcome, including newcomers.
We have several awesome presenters this month:
- Dan Wood from NPR will discuss how he makes maps for digital stories, including a few recent stories and the new technologies he used.
- Jeff Quarrick from NOAA will talk about collecting topographic-bathymetric lidar data over coastal regions. These surveys support activities like charting for safe and efficient navigation, habitat mapping, and storm-surge/inundation modeling.
- Rachel Opitz from the OGC and Ajay Gupta from HSR will talk about how the OGC Climate and Disaster Resilience Pilot supports the development of new applications like HSR's Urban Heat-Health Risk Index, which demonstrate how to use standards when combining data on populations, built environments, and climate to reproducibly model complex phenomena like heat gradients in multi-story buildings and assess risk to their occupants.
- Want to present in the future? Send us a message on Meetup!
We will be at Sudhouse on U St, right next to the U St Metro Station. Lots of food and drink available to order while you chat with fellow geo-friends (including non-alcoholic options)!
