十大赌博正规老平台 to Highlight Benefits of 高分辨率数据set at Esri Federal User Conference

安纳波利斯, MD – The 十大赌博正规老平台 will present at the opening plenary of the 2017 Esri Federal User Conference in Washington, D.C. 2月. 13. The conference will be attended by thousands of the region’s Esri software users, 包括联邦机构的工作人员, 以及州和地方政府, 企业, 非营利组织. 十大赌博正规老平台 Director of Conservation Technology Jeff Allenby and Geospatial Program Manager Cassandra Pallai will present a live demonstration on the production and application of high-resolution land cover data.

The invitation to present follows on the heels of a technology milestone for the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. 2016年12月 切萨皮克湾项目 (美国海关)宣布完成 切萨皮克湾高分辨率土地覆盖项目. 十大赌博正规老平台 staff spearheaded a yearlong effort, in partnership with the University of Vermont and Worldview Solutions, 公司. 为了完成这个数据集, which is one meter by one meter resolution land cover data for the nearly 100,000 square miles comprising the Chesapeake Bay watershed and surrounding counties. The data provides detailed categorical information about the landscape, 比如哪里的道路, 不透水表面, 树是存在的. What started in 2013 as a pilot grant with Intel has grown into a technology movement that will significantly enhance land management, 优先保护和恢复, 以及环境验证, 除此之外.

“Presenting at Esri’s Federal User Conference is going to be a powerful platform to highlight the role the 十大赌博正规老平台 has been playing in the conservation and restoration movement throughout the Chesapeake,艾伦比说. “We don’t necessarily play a largely public role in our partners’ use of the land cover. 我们扮演配角, 我们的数据可以帮助合作伙伴, from the federal government to local water keepers, 能够更好地完成他们的工作. The Esri conference is going to be an opportunity for people to see the contributions we are making—to highlight the work we have been doing with our partners and our limitless potential as conservation entrepreneurs—to continue to improve the conservation movement in the Chesapeake and beyond.”

Allenby and Pallai are presenting on advancements in Esri software and Microsoft Azure cloud technology that will be very beneficial to Chesapeake cleanup efforts. 这对夫妇旨在展示环境规划如何, both in the Chesapeake Bay and outside of the watershed, can benefit from thinking differently about how land is managed. Traditional methods have relied on imprecise information that is slow to produce, but new computing abilities are opening doors to faster turn-around on making data. This means that we can get actionable information quickly, when and where action is needed most. 十大赌博正规老平台 has pushed the envelope and merged the application of cutting edge technology with the traditional conservation movement.

Allenby will kick off the demo with a preview of the 十大赌博正规老平台’s work on designing and implementing a faster way to make land cover data. “Our efforts on this front will allow us to detect changes as they’re happening, 而不是几年之后,艾伦比说. 下一个, Pallai will describe how the land cover and cloud-based improvements for processing time can be applied to the real-world problem of planting riparian buffers in Pennsylvania. “Raw data does not give us the guidance that we need to take management actions; it needs analyzing in context with many datasets to provide information useful to managers,帕莱解释道。. “Esri is giving us the chance to highlight how our work on applying technology to guide the 十大赌博正规老平台’s Pennsylvania restoration projects can be scaled to other parts of the watershed.”

 The 十大赌博正规老平台’s mission is to strengthen the connection between people and the watershed; conserve the landscapes and special places that sustain the Chesapeake’s unique natural and cultural resources; and restore landscapes, 河流, 和切萨皮克湾地区的栖息地. We empower the conservation community with access to the latest data and technology. As principal partner for the National Park Service on the John Smith Chesapeake Trail, we helped create 108 new public access sites and permanently protect some of the Bay’s special places like Werowocomoco, 黑水国家野生动物保护区, Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park, 和门罗堡国家纪念碑. vrr6kl.422121.com
