Maps, Music, Bucky and Beer - a GIS ESRI Users Reception

Come to San Diego's premier visualization facility this Tuesday.

Using the Dymaxion Map you'll see why we are a favorite place in the world to live, work and play.

Join us for a GIS-ESRI Map User Party

Maps, Music, Bucky and Beer
-- because GIS is fun.

and Preview of a new program

The GENI initiative focuses on the interconnection of electric networks between nations and tapping abundant renewable energy. The challenge for planners and
renewable developers is to design and build in the best place for energy production while minimizing transmission access, O&M costs and environmental impact.

This new GIS mapping tool enables decision-makers to identify optimal renewable locations and use key variable sliders to narrow the search: renewable potential, access to transmission, distance to load centers.

Guest Presentor: Arnaud Vedy

Arnaud is a graduate student in GIS, a researcher at the Center for Information Convergence and Strategy at SDSU, and a GIS consultant for GENI and the SIMCenter. Recently arriving from France, Arnaud graduated in Geography with honors. He is now working on his Masters thesis, in which he investigates road infrastructures as an indicator of human and economic development at a world scale.

Aside from his academic activity, Arnaud became a volunteer at GENI with the aim to participate to one of the organization's missions: accelerating the transition to clean energy. In order to do so, he recently developed a new kind of renewable energy visualization tool, which helps identify optimal solar and wind resource sites for development.

The SIMCenter is dedicated to advancing mapping knowledge, sharing projects and learning how to use open source tools and data sets.

We invite you to join us, bring your own experience and ideas on how to use the World Resources SIMCenter to surround you in maps so we can make better decisions

"The SIMCenter is the best public venue in San Diego to visualize options, share detailed maps and have your decision-makers see and experience why geography matters."
