Online Mapping Systems for Delivering Wyoming’s Hydroclimatic Data

 

Christopher Nicholson

Water Resources Data System & Wyoming State Climate Office UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING

 

Friday, November 2nd, 2012

Ag C (Old Ag Building) 316, 12:00pm – 1:00pm

Online Mapping Systems for Delivering Wyoming’s Hydroclimatic Data Online, map-based applications have experienced an explosion in popularity over the past decade. The success of these systems is largely due to their ability to provide a spatial framework for data exploration, and for the visual context (e.g., satellite images) they offer.  Beginning in the late 1990s, the Water Resources Data System (WRDS) at the University of Wyoming has worked to provide different online mapping systems for a variety of water and climate applications.  As the web-based technologies have evolved, WRDS continues to develop new ESRI and Google tools to address specific needs for water managers, legislators and stakeholders from across the state to assist in decision making processes about Wyoming’s water resources.

WyGISC Geospatial Forums are scheduled on Fridays from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm. Please feel free to bring your lunch to our forums.  For more information about these talks please visit our website.

GIS Based Web Applications for UW's Division of Administration and Agricultural Experiment Stations

 

Wendy L. Berelson

Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING

 

Friday, October 19th, 2012
Ag C (Old Ag Building) 316, 12:00pm – 1:00pm
This presentation provides an overview of several GIS-based Web applications developed by WyGISC to facilitate work flows in UW's Division of Administration and Agricultural Experiment Stations (AES). The first half of the talk will describe the applications developed, or under development, for Real Estate Operations, Physical Plant, UW Police Department and the President's Public Art Committee. The second half of the presentation will focus on the Study Area Resource Request Application (SARRA), an application developed to aid in field resource requests submitted by researchers at AES stations throughout the state. The above applications were developed using current technologies including Adobe Flex/Flash Builder and ArcGIS Online and have data sourced from UW's Campus Enterprise GIS via ArcSDE and ArcGIS for Server.

WyGISC Geospatial Forums are scheduled on Fridays from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm. Please feel free to bring your lunch to our forums.  For more information about these talks please visit our website.
