Portland or Bust

The group is headed up to Portland tomorrow for a week of technical mayhem. Should be fun. Hopefully we will have time between getting a bunch of swag, and presentations to post some photos. A few of us will be presenting posters from projects we've done. Mostly a lot of note taking and mingling amongst the best of the best in Remote Sensing and GIS. Maybe we will see you there!

HSU Alum to speak on Wed 4/16

If you have available time come over to NR 203 from 1-2pm. Jen Pollom, an HSU Alum (M.S. 2006), will be giving a talk about GIS in the real world for the campus community. The talk is free and open to the community so come support alumni and the GeoSpatial club. Drinks and snacks will be provided.

Science Camp '08

If you are sticking around for the summer, interested in GIS, and love kids we may have just what you're looking for. HSU is hosting a summer science camp, in collaboration with the USFS and the City of Arcata, in which one aspect will be working some basic GIS and GPS projects. The kids will be around 10 years of age and the camp will meet for three mondays in July:July 14, July 21, July 28.

There is a possibility that a stipend will be available for helping, otherwise it would be on a volunteer basis but a great opportunity. If interested please contact Dr. Steinberg @ sjs7001@humboldt.edu.

GIS in Health

HealthMap is an interesting website mapping out global diseases in the last 30 days. A unique concept for the health industry and a huge endeavor at that. The sources are apparently quite comprehensive and of variable reliability and ranging from Google News to the World Health Organization. The website was established by Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences & Technology.
