In May’s 3DEP FTN Interest group meeting we hosted a panel to learn about the future of LiDAR acquisition. We discussed the long range viability of high altitude acquisition platforms, advances to traditional aerial acquisition and processing methods, and the use cases advanced LiDAR technologies will unlock so we can stretch dollars and maximize the […]
Dr. Jill Trepanier from Louisiana State University serves as our keynote speaker. She speaks to her research on extreme weather behavior and using GIS to help understand its impacts to humans and our built environment. In the second hour, we have two speakers share details about their ongoing research efforts. Dr. Jeff Hamerlinck from the […]
The Washington State Hydrography Dataset Program (WASHD) coordinates the mapping of the surface waters of the State. With the development of the USGS 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP), WASHD is actively exploring the development and use of 3DHP within the state and considering relevant measures of success. Presenters: Joshua Greenberg, PhD. GISP, Washington State Hydrography Steward […]
We’ll hold a 3DHP FTN Interest Group Meeting this month in lieu of the regular 3DHP FTN Info Forum. Interest Group meetings are held to catch up on project activities and engage participant discussions. Topics to be addressed include: Development of a joint 3DEP/3DHP 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM) Data Acquisition Planning Guide Engaging with the […]
To ensure that data ingested in the 3DHP data model is nationally consistent and supports future applications, guidance and specifications for the development of elevation derived hydrography (EDH) data have been developed. Additional guidelines are developed to address issues or clarify requirements as the need arises to support EDH. USGS will provide an update on […]
The South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff (ORS), Office of Broadband Coordinator, more commonly referred to as the South Carolina Broadband Office (SCBBO), is recognized as the central coordinating body for the development of the State’s broadband initiatives. They are responsible for the administration and management of over $1 billion in grant funds targeting the […]
Land and water management agencies and organizations across all levels are in urgent need of widely available, up to date, basic GIS layers for watershed analysis and localized decision making, especially for the development of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies and solutions. The One Map project will demonstrate creation of 3DHP hydrography, NWI Wetlands […]
911 dispatch, vehicle navigation, route finding efficiency, geo-enabling tabular data and efficient government operations all have one thing in common. They all rely on quality address locations. Few GIS layers have as broad an impact on the people of our nation as addresses. Few GIS layers have as complex a data supply chain as addresses. […]
