SUMMARY:Society for Conservation GIS Conference
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend our 2021 SCGIS Annual International Conference!   \nIn light of the ongoing pandemic and the value of connecting our community across continents\, the Conference will once again be virtual.  It will consist of a series of online sessions between July 19th and August 6th.  Conference registration will be free to all who wish to attend\, and we strongly encourage all attendees to join SCGIS if not already a member. \nKeynotes\nWe are pleased to announce two accomplished keynote speakers! \nJuly 19\, 2021: Walter Jetz received a DPhil from the University of Oxford in 2002. He is a Professor in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department and in the School of the Environment at Yale University\, where he arrived in 2009. \nHis research addresses global biodiversity dynamics in a changing world and integrates ecological\, evolutionary\, geographical\, and environmental perspectives. One particular focus is the use of new technologies and data flows to study biodiversity distributions and responses to change across scales. Flagship projects include Map of Life (a research\, education and information platform addressing the global geographic distribution of species)\, the Half-Earth Project Map (addressing global priorities for area-based conservation) and EarthEnv (near-global high-resolution environmental data for biodiversity applications). For publications see here. \nAt Yale\, Walter Jetz founded and directs the Yale Center for Biodiversity and Global Change and its Max Planck-Yale Center for Biodiversity Movement of Global Change\, an International Max Planck Center. For IPBES\, he was member and co-manager of the Task Force on Data and Knowledge\, chaired the Task Group on Indicators and was Lead Author of the Global Assessment. He is Scientific Chair of the EO Wilson Biodiversity Foundation and co-chairs the Species Population Working Group of GEO BON. \n  \nJuly 26\, 2021:  Molly Burhans combines her passion for people and the planet with her experience in GIS\, design thinking\, business development\, and scientific research to understand and transform complex systems and make land work for good. As founder and Executive Director of GoodLands\, Burhans helps communities manage their properties for environmental\, social\, and financial impact. She was the chief cartographer for the first global data-based maps of the Catholic Church\, and her work combining faith\, environmental stewardship and technology has received international coverage and acclaim. Burhans is an Ashoka fellow\, a Henry Arnhold fellow\, and the 2019 United Nations Young Champion of the Earth for North America. She has been involved with the Vatican Youth Symposium\, Vatican Arts and Technology Council\, United Nations Youth Assembly\, and the Buckminster Fuller Catalyst program\, and was an Echoing Green fellowship finalist. \nWorkshops\nSCGIS is pleased to announce this line-up of technical workshops. Each workshop is listed in US Pacific Time\, and is offered at a cost of $28. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate (July)\nStart Time (GMT -7\, USA Pacific)\nEnd Time (GMT -7\, USA Pacific)\nTopic\nInstructor\n\n\nTues 20th\n8:00 AM\n11:00 AM\nSpatial Data Analysis in R Part I\nAndy Lyons\n\n\nWed 21st\n9:00 AM\n12:00 PM\nIntroduction to Google Earth Engine: Tracking Changes in NDVI Over Time\nAnnie Taylor\n\n\nThurs 22nd\n8:00 AM\n11:00 AM\nSpatial Data Analysis in R Part II\nAndy Lyons\n\n\nThurs 22nd\n1:00 PM\n3:30 PM\nCreating and combining Story Maps\, Interactive Maps\, Surveys\, and Dashboards for gathering\, mapping\, analyzing\, and communicating information\nJoseph Kerski\n\n\nFriday 23rd\n9:00 AM\n12:00 PM\nExploring ArcGIS field apps\nMiriam Schmidts\n\n\nTues 27th\n9:00 AM\n12:00 PM\nIntroduction to Remote Sensing using Open Source Tools\nNancy Thomas\, Cindy Schmidt\n\n\nWed 28th\n9:00 AM\n12:00 PM\nOpen Source Remote Sensing: Land Cover Change Analysis\nNancy Thomas\, Cindy Schmidt\n\n\n\nConference Sponsorship\nIf you are interested in being a conference sponsor please read the attached guidelines. \nThis page will be continually updated as more details become available. Visit us again soon for more information on registration and the agenda. \n  \nSincerely\, \nThe SCGIS Conference Committee

SUMMARY:OGC API Virtual Sprint
DESCRIPTION:The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) invites software developers to the July 2021 OGC API Virtual Code Sprint\, to be held from July 21st to July 23rd\, 2021. The code sprint will begin at 07:00am EDT on the first day\, and end at 05:30pm EDT on the last day. \nOGC has been developing a new generation of standards for building web Application Programming Interface (API) solutions that make location-referenced information more Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, and Reusable (FAIR). These draft specifications come from OGC’s effort to create modular\, resource-oriented API standards that use OpenAPI for describing interfaces that offer location-referenced information over the web. \nTo ensure that all of the new OGC Application Programming Interface (API) standards are as developer-friendly\, usable\, and mature as possible before release\, each draft specification is being put through one or more code sprints to test and improve their ‘readiness’ before starting the OGC standards approval process. \nA Code Sprint is a collaborative and inclusive event driven by innovative and rapid programming with minimal process and organization constraints to support the development of new applications and candidate standards. \nThe July 2021 OGC API Virtual Code Sprint will focus on the following draft OGC API specifications: \n\nOGC API – Processes\nOGC API – Coverages\nOGC API – Records\n\nThe goal of the July 2021 OGC API Virtual Code Sprint will be to progress the specifications. The sprint will also help to identify issues and options for addressing those issues. \nThe draft OGC API – Processes specification defines an interface that enables the execution of geospatial computing processes and the retrieval of metadata describing their purpose and functionality. Typically\, these processes execute well-defined algorithms that ingest vector and/or coverage data to produce new datasets. \nThe draft OGC API – Records specification defines an interface that enables discovery and access to metadata records about resources such as features\, coverages\, tiles / maps\, models\, assets\, services or widgets. The draft specification enables the discovery of geospatial resources by standardizing the way collections of descriptive information about the resources (metadata) are exposed and accessed. \nThe draft OGC API – Coverages specification defines an interface that enables access to coverages that are modeled according to the Coverage Implementation Schema (CIS) 1.1. Coverages are represented by some binary or ASCII serialization\, specified by some data (en­coding) format. Arguably the most popular type of coverage is that of a gridded coverage. Gridded coverages have a grid as their domain set describing the direct positions in multi-dimensional coordinate space\, depending on the type of grid. Satellite imagery is typically modeled as a gridded coverage\, for example. \nOGC invites software developers to participate in the code sprint. There will be an opportunity for joint discussion with all participants on the goals and objectives of the event\, as well as the final briefing of findings and opinions of the participants. However\, the majority of the time will be spent on collaboration between participants in active coding.
