Society for Conservation GIS Society for Conservation GIS 17th Annual SCGIS International Conference July 10–12, 2014 Pacific Grove, California Shifting Lines A Message from the Conference Committee The world is transforming around us. As Earth’s climate changes, isolines of physical and human geography shift, sometimes unpredictably. Glaciers retreat, reservoirs evaporate, habitats shrink, and climate refugees seek new places to live. Learning to mitigate such harmful change and to adapt to it, we use the best available tools and technology to gather, analyze, report and visualize data relevant to our individual professions, pursuits and interests. Our hard work can effect profound change. We and our allies remove dams, restoring long dormant salmon runs. We breach dikes, bringing life back to previously stagnant estuaries. We restore habitats, increasing biodiversity. We create wilderness and ocean sanctuaries, providing sorely needed refuge. And we develop new ways of providing clean water and distributing aid, creating better living conditions for thousands of people in need. Coming from across scientific disciplines, our Society convenes each year to share information and knowledge in order to gain collective insight and wisdom. Creating professional connections and making deep personal relationships, we foster all of these positive changes—and we have a great time doing it. Thanks for joining us as we discuss, debate, bemoan and celebrate these shifting lines.

Dam removal has moved beyond the fictional Monkey Wrench Gang to go mainstream. Where obsolete dams come down, rivers bound back to life, giving salmon and other wild fish the right of return to primeval spawning grounds, after decades without access. DamNation’s majestic cinematography and unexpected discoveries move through rivers and landscapes altered by dams, but also through a metamorphosis in values, from conquest of the natural world to knowing ourselves as part of nature. See the trailer: http://damnationfilm.com/trailer Map Gallery Opening and Reception Map products, posters, and multimedia map projects illustrating the achievements of the user community will be on display at the popular Map Gallery. Several special exhibits will include displays of unique and innovative uses of GIS from around the world. The Map Gallery opens with a reception on Friday evening and will remain on display throughout the conference. 4 Friday, July 11 7:30 AM–9:00 AM Breakfast Crocker Dining Hall 8:45 AM–10:30 AM Opening Session Chapel 10:30 AM–11:00 AM Refreshment Break Scripps 11:00 AM–12:30 PM Paper Sessions Chapel, Acacia, Toyon, and Heather 12:30 PM–1:30 PM Lunch Crocker Dining Hall 1:30 PM–2:00 PM Break 2:00 PM–3:30 PM Paper Sessions Chapel, Acacia, and Toyon Technical Workshop Heather 3:30 PM–4:00 PM Refreshment Break Scripps 4:00 PM–5:30 PM Paper Sessions Chapel, Acacia, and Toyon Technical Workshop Heather 5:30 PM– 6:00 PM Break 6:00 PM–7:00 PM Dinner Crocker Dining Hall 7:00 PM–10:00 PM Map Gallery Opening and Reception Chapel 5 Conference at a Glance Saturday, July 12 7:30 AM–9:00 AM Breakfast Crocker Dining Hall 9:00 AM–10:30 AM Paper Sessions Chapel, Acacia, and Toyon Technical Workshop Heather 10:30 AM–11:00 AM Refreshment Break Scripps 11:00 AM–NOON Paper Sessions Chapel, Acacia, and Toyon Technical Workshop Heather NOON–2:00 PM Lunch and Membership Meeting Crocker Dining Hall 2:00 PM–3:30 PM Paper Sessions Chapel, Acacia, Toyon, and Heather 3:30 PM–4:00 PM Refreshment Break Scripps 4:00 PM–5:30 PM Paper Sessions Chapel, Acacia, and Toyon Technical Workshop Heather 5:30 PM–6:00 PM Break 6:00 PM–7:00 PM Dinner Crocker Dining Hall 7:00 PM–10:00 PM Auction and Wine Reception Chapel 6 Sunday, July 13 7:30 AM–9:00 AM Breakfast Crocker Dining Hall 10:00 AM–11:30 AM SpeedGeeking and Closing Session Chapel NOON Box Lunch Pickup Crocker Dining Hall SpeedGeeking and Closing Session New for this year, we’re adding a SpeedGeeking session in Chapel on Sunday morning. SpeedGeeking is a great way for you to quickly catch some of those great talks you weren’t able to fit into your schedule and to do some last-minute networking. The annual membership meeting is being moved to be held over lunch in the Crocker Dining Hall on Saturday from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM. Please arrive early and get lunch so we can discuss everything we’ve been up to last year, and look forward to the next! Auction and Wine Reception You are invited to an evening reception to celebrate our international scholars and the SCGIS community. Get ready to dress up, celebrate our global heritages, and raise some money to support conservationists from around the world! There will be a silent and live auction to share treasures and artwork from around the globe. Please bring an item from your culture, community, or country and prepare to bid on some wonderful and exotic trinkets. All donations are appreciated and cherished; no item is too big or too small. Items for the auction can be delivered to Chapel after breakfast on Saturday and during breaks before the reception. Before dropping off your item, please fill out a description form, available on the SCGIS website and at the registration desk. Share your work, your history, or your passion with other conservation colleagues. All funds raised will be used to support training and to provide travel assistance to fellow conservationists from around the globe through the SCGIS International and Domestic Scholarship Program. 7 Preconference Training Workshops Thursday, July 10 Workshop 1: Working with Geodatabases and Geodatabase Topology Room: Kiln Presenter(s): John Schaeffer, Juniper GIS ArcGIS for Desktop (Basic, Standard or Advanced) required. If you don’t have a copy, software will be available before the workshop. Please indicate on your registration if you’ll need one. This course introduces users to the Geodatabase, a data format that provides enhanced tools for data creation, data modelling, and data validation. Participants will learn how to design, create and manage Geodatabases, especially topology. The class concentrates on the Geodatabase structure and tools, including topology, subtypes and domains, for creating and editing data while maintaining data integrity. The course will work with data from the Florida Panther Refuge, and your task will be to create a Geodatabase to manage data for their burn plans. You will start by combining data from a variety of sources, then use Geodatabase tools to better organize the data. Then you will learn how to use Subtypes and Domains to better manage the attribute side of your data, and then how to create and edit Geodatabase Topology to clean roads, burn units, and boundary data. During this workshop, you will learn Geodatabase concepts and basics: converting data to the Geodatabase format, understanding Spatial References for the Geodatabase, validating attributes with Domains/Subtypes, validating features with Topology, and editing with the Geodatabase. 8 Workshop 2: Using CartoDB to Map, Analyze and Share Scientific Data Room: Oak Shelter Presenter(s): Andrew Hill, Vizzuality CartoDB is a powerful web platform that makes publishing online maps easy. It combines PostgreSQL, PostGIS, and an open-source technology stack to give you a dashboard for creating beautiful and insightful maps from your data. While the tool gives you access to powerful GIS tools, making your first maps is as simple as drag & drop. This course will teach you how to start mapping your data and publishing those maps online. The course will introduce you to the basics of CartoDB, including file import, visualizing data, applying custom styles to geographic data, merging multiple datasets and sharing maps with collaborators or with the world. We will also start to look at some of the basic GIS tools, including clustering, intersecting, and distance calculations and combining them with live visualizations.

  • Barbarians Led by Bill Gates
    "Bill Gates will love this book. Bill Gates will hate this book. This insider's tale of survival at Microsoft makes a strong argument that the U.S. Department of Justice has no antitrust case against them—but only because antitrust requires intent, and intent suggests strategic thinking. This convenient defense also comes at some cost, derived, as it is, from a view of the world's richest man as technically out of touch and groping his way blindly through business—not the image of Bill Gates-as-Superman that Microsoft PR has spent nearly two decades trying to project. Chairman Bill, it turns out, is just like the rest of us. I love it!" —Robert X. Cringely, author of Accidental Empires and host of the PBS series Triumph of the Nerds "If you ever doubted that Microsoft plays to win, or ever wondered how they do it, you'll learn a lot from this lively memoir that takes us inside the walls at Redmond. In the press we see what Microsoft wants the world to know. Here, the programmers in the trenches let us in on how they see it." —Howard Rheingold, author of The Virtual Community "A fascinating, smartly written insider's perspective. Marlin Eller and Jennifer Edstrom paint a vivid, entertaining picture of how the gears are turned inside the mighty Microsoft machine." —Lise Buyer, Wall Street technology analyst n the past fifteen years Bill Gates has evolved from High-tech Poster Boy I to Richest Man in the World; more recently, he has emerged as the Embattled Corporate Leader in the signal industry of our time.
