 [Comments for James Fee GIS Blog] Comment on Don’t Give Away the Farm! by Ben R.: Go on any given piracy website and prepare to find the latest TomTom or other proprietary maps/data. Undoubtedly there are more specialized and discrete sites out there just for geodata (or if there isn’t then there will be when the demand exists).

 [East Bay Regional Parks - Embrace Life!] Board Executive Committee Meeting Minutes - 04/22/08: This EACCS process requires providing a list of District development and maintenance projects which require regulatory agency approval, providing $30,000 per year for a three-year period to cover the District's share of planning costs, and executing an agreement with the sponsoring agencies. The City of Livermore would make a one-time contribution of an additional $25,000 on our behalf for planning costs in the first year, because they would like the District to work with them on mitigation for El Charo and the Isabel Avenue interchange.

[Degrees and Courses] Graduate Degrees Courses of Crop and Soil Environmental Sciences ...: Use of Geographic Information System (GIS) software to compile digital maps, imagery, and natural resource data and decision support systems (DSS) to produce interpretative maps from digital soil data as part of a research proposal and project. Field trip and class attendance required.

 [Red Ink and Rewrites Too] Sojourn in the Solum: ("geographic information systems") for the Army Corps of Engineers in New Jersey, one hundred (100) miles of Passaic River drainage, a source of flooding, locating rule-based "predictive" computer-generated site locations (a screen pixel coordinate) on recent aerial base maps to test archaeological potentials, of which, as it turned out, 50% were in flood when scheduled to be tested.

 [Busco Trabajo] research assistant geology: As I have lot of experience regarding Landslide investigation and Construction of Houses, I have confident very much to work mapping of natural disasters like as landslide, flood and tsunami hazards.

[Newly Published Articles - Encyclopedia of Earth] Mediterranean Sea large marine ecosystem: The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is supporting an LME project in the Mediterranean Sea, to address critical threats to the coastal and marine environment, and to promote ecosystem-based management of coastal and marine resources. LME book chapters and articles pertaining to this LME include Bombace, 1993 (about the sub-unit of the Adriatic Sea), and Caddy, 1993.
