Abstracts

Monday & Tuesday Workshops

Workshop #1, Interoperable Web GIS Solutions with Free & Open Source Geospatial Software

Instructor: Karsten Vennemann of Terra GIS Ltd.

Description: Interoperable Web GIS Solutions built on Free and Open Source Geospatial software (FOSS4G) offer very effective

means of delivering reliable, modern, standard compliant and flexible solutions. They can be used as stand-alone applications or in

conjunction with proprietary systems. Especially over the last years FOSS4G have become a viable alternative to proprietary

software, and implementing GIS with FOSS helps to meet budget challenges. The class will introduce three open source software

components as the building blocks that make up a powerful OS web GIS: MapServer (Map rendering engine), PostGIS (spatial data

base) and OpenLayers (Java Script based map viewer). The main focus of the class will be hands-on exercises with the goal that every

participant will become familiar with the basics of MapServer, PostGIS and OpenLayers. During the class there will be ample

opportunity for discussions and question and answer sessions. The final goal is for each participant to set up (with the instructor's

guidance) and customize a basic but functioning Web GIS system running on their own laptop (which participants need to bring and

use in class).

Workshop #2, Moving Beyond the Basics of Programming ArcGIS with Python

Instructor: Eric Pimpler of Geospatial Training Services

ArcGIS Desktop is the leading desktop solution for GIS analysis and mapping. The ArcPy site package, which contains the ArcPy

Mapping and Data Access modules, enables Python programmers to access all the GIS functionality provided through ArcGIS

Desktop. ArcPy can be integrated with other open source Python libraries to enhance GUI development, create stunning reports,

charts, and graphs, access REST web services, perform statistical analysis, and more. This course will teach you how to take your

ArcGIS Desktop application development skills to the next level by integrating the functionality provided by ArcPy with open source

Python libraries to create intermediate to advanced level ArcGIS Desktop applications.

Course Modules:

Creating Custom ArcGIS Toolboxes and Tools with Python

Graphical User Interface (GUI) Development with wxPython and ArcGIS

Automating the Production of Map Books with Data Driven Pages and ArcPy

Accessing ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online Resources via Python

Integrating Plotly Charts and Graphs with ArcGIS Desktop using Python

Recommended for ArcGIS Desktop programmers with some Python experience who want to take their skills to the next level.

Workshop #4, Esri Workshop:

Building web applications without coding (morning)

Leveraging ArcGIS Online (afternoon)

Instructors: Scott Moore & John Sharrard

Building web applications without coding (Morning)

Come to this session to learn how you can configure workflow-driven GIS apps that run seamlessly across all devices. Esri's new Web

AppBuilder is a HTML5/JavaScript-based application that allows you to create your own intuitive, fast, and beautiful web mapping

apps, in 2D or 3D, without writing a single line of code. If you have web applications that are using ArcIMS, Web ADF, Flex, or

Silverlight then this workshop will be useful to learn how to build HTML5 and JavaScript web applications that will work on all the

common browsers and mobile devices. You will also learn how to create custom widgets for the Web AppBuilder.

Leveraging ArcGIS Online (Afternoon)

If you are an ArcGIS Desktop user you have access to ArcGIS Online. This session will show you how your organization can create

interactive web maps and apps that you can share with anyone. You will also discover what’s included such as ready-to-use content,

apps, and templates to make your organization immediately productive.

Workshop #6, Esri Workshop:

Spatial Analysis with Web GIS (Morning) ArcGIS Pro (afternoon)

Instructors: Scott Moore & John Sharrard

Spatial Analysis with Web GIS (Morning)

You may use ArcGIS Online for its rich array of basemaps and thematic layers for your GIS projects, but did you also know that it

contains a growing and powerful set of spatial analysis tools? In this session, we will explore how to analyze data spatially efficiently

and quickly in ArcGIS Online for natural resource management, human health, planning, law enforcement, and other fields, using

map overlay, routing, proximity, spatial statistics, and other tools.

ArcGIS Pro (Afternoon)

ArcGIS Pro is part of ArcGIS for Desktop and introduces an exciting new experience for desktop GIS. Learn about what’s possible in

2D and 3D mapping, analysis and editing. The workshop will consist of a combination of presentation, demonstration, and hands-on

exercises.

Workshop #7, Using ArcGIS Online and Esri Collector to Capture GIS Data

Instructor: Jim Lahm

Half day, Tuesday, October 18, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Description: This 4-hour intro to ArcGIS Online and Esri Collector will show how ArcGIS Online works, what its capabilities are and how to publish a map service and share it with your group. A field exercise using the Esri Collector App will also be included.

We encourage you to bring your own smart device with the Esri Collector App installed, as we will not be providing data loggers for this session. We will have some Trimble R1’s and R2’s available for those who want to experience higher-accuracy data capture with their own devices. Please bring appropriate clothing for the weather conditions as we will be going outside.

Whether you are considering implementing ArcGIS Online for your organization or are actively using this tool already, you will find this workshop valuable to your organization and application. Workshop outline:

ArcGIS Online intro, configuration and best practices

Creating and sharing web maps

Using the Esri Collector app for field data collection and update

Managing layers and web maps Attendees should bring their own smart devices (phone, tablets) with ArcGIS Collector installed. That’s a free App.

GIS Professional meet Citizen Volunteer, Daniel Brown, City of Salem

Do you have citizen volunteers collecting information? Are they using collection methods that are interoperable with your local GIS?

Do you have an interest in open data, giving back to your community, and educating others? This workshop will explore how you can

interact with citizen volunteers and how they can teach you about their needs and expectations. You will be paired with a Salem

parks citizen volunteer and will go “outside” to collect park data using ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Collector. This interactive workshop

will be rewarding with real world lessons learned and interaction with GIS novice citizens. The collection outcome will be open data

products and powerful analysis that can lead to policy and budget decisions to local leadership. Bring your own smartphone charged

and ready! (and maybe a jacket!)

Community-Led Presentations

Nicole Hanson, Idaho Transportation Department

Evolving GIS at Idaho Transportation (1)

GIS at ITD is evolving, and has been over the years. In the last three years, ITD has started to use mobile GIS at a rapid pace. This

has enabled data collection to be more accurate and more precise, while also enabling the non-GIS user.

Charlie Spear, City of Seattle Information Technology

How we improve our service at Seattle IT (2)

The City of Seattle has a central GIS organization that provides shared services to departments. We've had some success and years

of experience at using service level agreements, customer surveys, performance measures and structured employee performance

reviews to improve service. I’ll share concrete examples and war stories about what has and hasn’t worked for us.

Dean Anderson and Eric McAvoy, Polk County, Oregon

Out with the Old? In with the New? Changes at Polk County, Oregon (3)

Polk County, Oregon’s use of ESRI GIS technology started in 1993. The County GIS supports taxlot mapping, appraisal, community

development, public works, public safety, elections, and public access, and consists of many menu-based application systems that

were initially built in the Arc/Info environment. The County is currently in the process of implementing the latest generation of

ESRI’s platform. This presentation will contrast new and old ESRI technology, the pains involved with developing new stuff while

keeping the old stuff running, and the colossal task of figuring out how to combine the two into a functional product.

Steve Timbrook, Oregon Department of Forestry

Need to disconnect?: Preparing Enterprise GIS data for offline editing (4)

This presentation will discuss preparing existing Enterprise GIS data to be used in a disconnected environment for desktop and

mobile ESRI software users. If your organization has ArcGIS for Server then you can create offline workflows without duplicating

enterprise data in ArcGIS Online. Feature services are the workhorse of all of the inspection, collection, and editing applications at

the Oregon Department of Forestry. Preparation on the back-end allows for data to be consumed by multiple devices, platforms and

users. The same data can be accessed by multiple GIS users, application developers or managers. Using examples from ODF, we will

walk through the Web GIS infrastructure that exposes our services for external use, key configuration settings for base maps and

feature services and tips and tricks in ArcGIS online to make your offline application workflows smoother. The best part, set it up

once and let the rest do the work.

Caleb Anderson, City of Salem

Connecting field and office staff with Collector and other Web-GIS (5)

ArcGIS Collector can be a great tool for connecting field and office staff who work together on a daily basis. We have set up a web

map to track sewer flow monitor and rain gauge equipment location and status so that field crews know what equipment is in need

of repair/maintenance, office staff know what work has been completed, and the supervisor has an overall snapshot. This map also

helps to manage daily routes for field crews and related records for maintenance. A future implementation of OSI PI will deliver the

data being collected by the monitors in a web-map/dashboard which will expand the maps use to other office staff.

Jeff Comstock, Ecology & Environment, Inc.

Innovative Mobile Technology for Field Data Collection (6)

Mobile data collection is an ever evolving field. We have transitioned to performing data collection on tablets paired with high-

accuracy Bluetooth GNSS for capturing positions and recording condition information. We have created entire workflows to digitize

new geographic data with GNSS and record attribute information in custom data collection forms to generating formatted

deliverable output all on the tablet. For complex situations like wetland delineations, we use the app iGeoTrak where we are able to

compile data using customized collection forms that perform background calculations in app and produce required USACE formatted

datasheets while still in the field. Standardizing data capture and using deliverable-ready output to QAQC our work, has drastically

improved the quality of our field data collection while providing a cost savings to our clients. The best part is that this system is cloud

based, so sharing data in real-time is as easy as tapping a button.

David Mather, State of Oregon GEO

Strategies for High Availability in GIS Architecture: ArcGIS Server and SQL Server (7)

We are always looking for strategies to enable High Availability in GIS web servers, web services, applications and databases. An

architecture using Windows Network Load Balancing has allowed State of Oregon GEO to successfully navigate software bugs and

upgrades, and web service and web application failures and upgrades. In addition a new SQL architecture using Windows Server

Failover Clustering in a VM environment has been implemented. SQL Instance Cluster Resource Nodes are used provide High

Availability and enable failover between Virtual Machines.

Brian Locke, Oregon Department of Forestry

Custom Applications using ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET (8)

This presentation will go over things to consider while developing custom applications using ESRI's ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET.

Topics will include design patterns, code maintainability, custom tooling, and lessons learned.

Micah Babinski, Elyon International Inc

Tips and Tricks to Supercharge Your Web GIS (9)

Web GIS, the latest paradigm shift in our industry, means that GIS experts can put the power of data, maps, and analysis in the

hands of more users, both internally within organizations and externally to the public. All of the tasks for which we used to rely on

desktop software - mapping, analysis, and even data creation and updates - can now be accomplished easier, faster, and by more

users using thin client applications accessed via a web browser or mobile device. In this presentation I’ll share techniques and ideas

to manage geospatial data and author content that speed publishing, display, and organizational adoption of data and maps served

via the web.

Shane Clark, Esri

What’s on the horizon: The Road ahead for GIS (10)

This presentation will provide a brief overview of key improvements in upcoming releases, including the ArcGIS 10.5 release. We will

look at multiple aspects of the ArcGIS Platform, including desktop, server, mobile, and Web GIS.

John Sharrard, Esri

What will your drone do for you? (11)

Drone technology is fundamentally changing long-held field work practices and business models, and enterprises are learning how to

effectively leverage this emerging technology. This Presentation will discuss and demonstrate the application of UAV technology in

ArcGIS. Drone2Map for ArcGIS is a new desktop app that turns raw still imagery from drones into orthomosaics, 3D meshes, and

more, in ArcGIS. Create 2D and 3D maps of hard-to-access areas for land analysis, infrastructure inspection, and monitoring events

such as natural disasters and environmental changes. ArcGIS now also supports Full Motion Video (FMV) technology and it’s a

natural complimentary technology to UAV deployment.

Tom Carlson, US Geological Survey

USGS Updates: The 3D Elevation Program, The National Map, US Topo and USGS Historic Quadrangles in the Pacific Northwest

(12)

This presentation will provide information on the U. S. Geological Survey’s 3D Elevation Program (3DEP), National Map, US Topo and

Historical Quadrangle Scanning Projects. The primary goal of 3DEP is to systematically collect enhanced elevation data in the form of

high-quality light detection and ranging (lidar) data over the conterminous United States, Hawaii, and the U.S. territories, with data

acquired over an 8-year period. The National Map includes a variety of products and services that provide the Nation with access to


13

base geospatial information to describe the landscape of the United States and its territories. The US Topo is the next generation of

digital topographic maps from the USGS. The Historical Quadrangle Scanning Project has scanned all scales and all editions of

approximately 250,000 topographic maps published by the USGS since the inception of the topographic mapping program in 1884.

Cy Smith, Oregon Geospatial Enterprise Office

Geospatial Data Sharing Legislation Panel (13)

The Oregon Legislature will be holding hearings in the 2017 Session on a proposed geospatial Framework data sharing bill. The Joint

Legislative Committee on Information Management & Technology established a work group of stakeholders during the 2016 Session

to craft a legislative concept that would mandate such sharing between public bodies in Oregon. This panel of work group members

will discuss the concept, value and challenges of such legislation, and take feedback and input from the audience.

Matt Alexander, Anatum Field Solutions

Real-time Centimeter Accuracy and Esri’s Collector on Your iPad (14)

Using RTK on your iPad. With Bluetooth RTK-GNSS receivers, it is now possible to stream RTK corrections to your iPad for real-time

centimeter accuracy. With RTK networks proliferating across the US, free access to RTK corrections is becoming easier and cheaper.

With ESRI's Collector, ArcPad, and other mobile GIS software, you can now collect centimeter level data to populate your GIS.

Rich Ash, GeoMobile Innovations

High Accuracy RTK GNSS in GIS Workflows (15)

A “perfect storm” is developing for the professional mobile GIS user/organization looking to enhance field collection/inspection

operations and decision making utilizing Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Real-time kinematic (RTK) GNSS/GPS receivers

capable of centimeter level accuracy in the field are dropping substantially in price and are complemented by free (as is the case is in

Oregon) or low fee RTK base station correction services. Further, GNSS receiver manufacturers are supporting the demand for

connectivity with the broad range of smart mobile device (iOS, Android, Windows tablets) and “bring your own device”

phenomenon. The presentation will further review these trends and highlight the key GIS field workflow considerations and

limitations when looking to deploy centimeter RTK GNS devices. RTK<> GIS workflow tips/tricks for Esri’s Collector mobile GIS app

and “traditional” application ArcPad will be discussed.

Jim Lahm, Frontier Precision, Inc.

Low-Cost, High-Efficiency Data Collection (16)

Manufacturers are finally responding to consumers and GIS professionals by introducing data collection hardware and software at

greatly reduced prices which dramatically reflects a change in pricing philosophy. The new Juniper Systems Mesa2 Windows10

tablet PC, the Geode GNSS receiver and the new Trimble TDC100 are examples of this new trend in low-cost, data capture systems.

This session will introduce the main benefits of these new products and allow attendees to see them in person. Application and

workflow questions are encouraged, so be prepared to be impressed.

Melissa Rosa, The Baldwin Group at NOAA Office for Coastal Management

Bringing High Resolution Land Cover Products to Coastal Washington and the Nation (17)

Understanding current conditions and past change is essential to improving natural resource management in the future. Through its

Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP), NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management produces standardized land cover and change

information for the coastal U.S. Current products include both regionally focused, moderate resolution (30 m) data that is updated

every 5 years and high resolution (1-4 m) maps that provide more detail in areas experiencing high rates of land cover change,

bringing this national framework to the local level. Recent increases in imagery and LiDAR data availability combined with

improvements in processing techniques are enabling more cost-effective production of high resolution land cover products. This

presentation will describe techniques NOAA and its partners are using as part of the 2016 update cycle to develop detailed land

cover information across broadening geographies, and how those products will be used to better meet regional resource

management needs.

Tony Palizzi, Harris

Benefits of High Density Airborne Lidar using Geiger Mode Technology (18)

The demand for airborne LIDAR elevation data and derived products across diverse business sectors has grown significantly over the

past two decades. To meet this increasing need in a cost-effective manner, sensor developers, data collectors, and production

sources are always looking to improve the efficiency of their operations. Originally developed for US military applications but

becoming increasingly available in the non-defense market, LIDAR systems built with Geiger Mode Avalanche Photodiode (GmAPD)


14

detectors provide significant efficiency gains for airborne mapping when compared with currently available linear mode sensors.

Because GmAPD detectors are physically compact and single photon sensitive, they can be packaged into large arrays and powered

by readily available lasers with sub-nanosecond pulse widths. These two factors enable the development of GmAPD LIDAR systems

that can collect very high density airborne data (i.e. 10 – 40+ points/m2) at very high instantaneous area of coverage rates (greater

than 1000 km2/hour). This increase in collection rates does come at the cost of much noisier point cloud data and alternative

collection strategies. This presentation will describe the processes and technologies developed over the past 15 years for efficiently

and cost effectively collecting and producing high density point clouds and derived products using GmAPD LIDAR systems. Topics to

be covered include: 1) GmAPD sensing fundamentals, 2) collection strategies for GmAPD collection, and 3) efficient, high volume

data production systems. Examples of high density GmAPD products will also be shown.

Bret Hazell, GeoTerra, Inc.

Low Density Lidar for GIS Data Set Development (19)

Case Study - Use of low density Lidar to provide terrain surfaces, building polygons, contours, and terrain models resulting in lower

costs per square mile than traditional means. Presentation will review a recent project where low density Lidar was used to reduce

overall project cost while providing a more valuable data set to a set of municipal clients. Fast, accurate, and less expensive.

Forest Grove's Enterprise GIS: ArcGIS Online and the Local Government Information Model (20)

After years of silo GIS work across the organization, the City of Forest Grove, OR, has migrated to an Enterprise Geodatabase. Now

five departments are streamlining their editing and maintenance processes through Production Mapping tools utilizing Esri’s Local

Government Information Model. The City is also making GIS publicly available through ArcGIS Online for their citizens and pushing

their data updates out to regional partners. We’ll talk about the methods of getting to an Enterprise system and the tools that will

help the City grow in the future.

Joshua Tanner, State of Oregon

An ArcGIS Online 'Sub-Organization' at the State of Oregon (21)

The State of Oregon has one ArcGIS Online account, with twenty-seven participating state agencies and nearing one-thousand users.

ArcGIS Online is becoming the standard mechanism by which agencies build geospatial applications and communicate their GIS

efforts. Having so many users and agencies actively participating in a single Organizational account presents many complex

challenges, but also exposes unique opportunities. One of the primary challenges for state agencies is the lack of available options

to distinguish their own content and establish a unique brand. To address this and other issues, the Geospatial Enterprise Office is

developing an internal structure termed a 'Sub-Organization'. A sub-organization consists of specific configurations, documented

workflows, and custom tools to enable state agencies to better administer and promote their content and brand. This presentation

focuses on the concept of a Sub-Organization in ArcGIS Online, the problems it looks to address, and the inherent benefits to the

public.

Aaron Paul, First American Title

Mapping and Data Management to Bring Out the Big Picture (25)

GIS is a powerful tool that can be utilized in the world of private consultation when there is a need for collaboration between

departments and/or agencies. Mapping and data management allow us to visualize the big picture from pieces that have never been

put together before. Mapping and data management also allows us to streamline processes and help to show progress to clients mid

project when reports are still being created and engineers are still working out their plans.

Hacker Lab (26)

The Hacker Lab is a four-hour, hands-on, strategically guided lab for developers (seasoned pros, newcomers, and everyone in

between) that covers how to build map apps with ArcGIS Online, APIs and Services, Open Source, and also with AppStudio for ArcGIS

(for native apps). If you're lucky, you may even get to test-drive AppStudio to build native apps with QML. You will be given time to

play in between the tutorials. This is a BYOM, BYOI, BYOA, and BYOD event: bring your own machine (seriously, we don't have any

extras), ideas, apps and data. Yeah. Oh and here is a list of the required materials:

1. Computer 2. Text editor (nice to have, but not a requirement: Git and GitHub) 3. ArcGIS for Developers or ArcGIS Organization account

Salem and Marion County Collaborating for SAFE Communities (30)

The City of Salem and Marion County Emergency Management conducted an operational test using Portal for ArcGIS during the

Cascadia Rising exercise in June 2016. The objectives were to assess the feasibility of establishing a county-wide common operating

picture to support situational awareness, damage assessment, and resource ordering. Joining the two lead jurisdictions were a

number of other cities, special districts, Citizen Corps groups, and non-governmental organizations who participated by submitting

situation updates, damage assessments, and resource orders in what was truly a Whole Community approach. GIS proved to be


16

mission critical for collaborative communication, damage status, real-time communications, and determining the lifelines needed to

support life and property missions. This case study will provide lessons learned and tips for implementing similar strategies for

jurisdictions both large and small.

Carol Baumann, Tetra Tech, Inc.

Using Hazus-MH for Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan Risk Assessments (31)

Tetra Tech uses FEMA’s Hazus-MH software as the primary tool for assessing risk and vulnerability for earthquake and flood-related

hazards. This risk assessment is an essential part of our process for creating or updating natural hazard mitigation plans for

jurisdictions in the Northwest and beyond. This presentation will cover how we use local data to update the default general building

stock and critical facilities data that comes with Hazus. The presentation will also cover how we refine the Hazus analysis, and the

issues and challenges we’ve come across with using Hazus.

Alice Pence, City of Auburn, WA

Let's Automate - Streamlining GIS workflows (32)

Set it and forget it, right? We live in a world now where big data is the game and how to handle it is the new challenge. Within the

City of Auburn we have found some ways to take data (that is even missing spatial components) and turn it into a GIS masterpiece

by using automated tools that either clean it up/ standardize it, geocode it, convert it to different formats, or update our GIS

database automatically with new information nightly.

Christina Kellum, WA Dept. of Ecology

Data, Data Everywhere (33)

In this day and age where data is distributed to multiple storage devices to support web applications, ArcGIS Online, ftp, data

download websites etc., locating data and tracking its replication can be a pain. In order to address this problem, we are developing

a GIS Infrastructure database that identifies all the places and ways our spatial data is stored and utilized. This will help us optimize

our data transfer and modification process, better manage our applications and services, along with creating a single location to

search for data across platforms.

Dean Anderson, Polk County, Oregon

Parcel Fabric Tools and Taxmap Maintenance in Oregon (34)

Many counties in Oregon use a common data structure and set of ESRI ArcMap Tools to maintain Taxlot Maps. The design and tools

were created by a multi-county consortium using grants from the Oregon Department of Revenue ORMAP program. The tools were

constructed to operate within the standard ESRI environment and are currently available on GitHub. This presentation will review

how the consortium is incrementally adding Parcel Fabric technology to the ORMAP mapping environment. User requirements,

evaluation procedures, and gap analysis will be reviewed. New tools and procedures for incrementally adding parcel fabric tools to

the existing map maintenance environment will be presented.

Al Mowbray, Metro Data Resource Center

What's this multifamily garbage? Measuring Access to Garbage and Recycling Service (35)

How much access to garbage and recycling services do people living in multifamily housing have in the Portland region? Metro is

working with local county and city governments and garbage haulers to answer this question. This talk will focus on the process of

data aggregation and integration for this ongoing project. Discussion will center on the lessons learned while using R and ArcGIS to

integrate address data from many spreadsheets with Metro's existing multifamily GIS layer. R was used for data cleaning and

aggregation, statistical analysis, and interpretation. ArcGIS was used for geolocating and spatial manipulation of the data.

Jonathan McDowell, GISP, Clackamas County Technology Services

Modeling Clackamas County’s Retail Marijuana Ordinance (36)

Clackamas County has addition regulations governing the location of Marijuana Retail stores. Zoning & Development Ordinance

(ZDO) Section 841 defines various setbacks for different protected locations. The protected locations include schools, light rail stops,

childcare facilities, mental health treatment centers, parks, and public housing. The ZDO also defines what land use zone a store may

locate. Depending on the site, the protected locations buffer is either derived from either a building foot print or the parcel of

record. The data, such as childcare facilities, used to create the buffers is consistently changing. Geoprocesses were developed to

dynamically create the setbacks in the effort to keep the map showing the setbacks current.

Karsten Vennemann, Terra GIS Ltd.

Land Protection Assessment: A comparison of tools and spatial analysis in ArcGIS and QGIS (37)

The talk compares the use of spatial analysis for conservation planning in two different desktop software packages: ArcGIS 10.3 and

QGIS 2.14. In 2015 Forterra (formerly Cascade Land Conservancy) and Core GIS jointly conducted the project "Skykomish Basin Land

Protection Assessment & Mapping Project" for Snohomish County under a federal grant from the EPA. The Objective was to evaluate

riparian ecological resources based on value and threat in order to inform near- and long-term strategies to protect wildlife habitat

in support of salmon recovery. The work resulted in a set of maps evaluating each of the conservation values and development

threats. The original work was done in ArcGIS but was re-created in QGIS in order to compare work flows and tools in both software

packages. Advantages and potential draw backs of each tool set and workflow will be evaluated and discussed from the perspective

of an GIS Analyst.

Mark Korver, Amazon Web Services

Simple is better. An Intro to Event-driven Serverless Architecture on AWS (38)

The network is the computer, especially when the data is already in the Cloud. This will be a short session to show how, without

concern for the particulars servers and storage, you can use small amounts of code to do big geospatial jobs.

Amber Lauzon, Ecology & Environment Inc

Automating Simple GIS Tasks with Python for the Non-Programmer: 3 case studies (39)

Python is a powerful analytical and mapping tool used to automate many GIS tasks. When faced with critical efficiency needs,

analysts and cartographers utilize Python for ArcGIS to perform repetitive tasks. For the non-programmer, the thought of writing

code to automate manual processes may seem daunting, but there is a serious return on the investment of learning the basics of

Python for ArcGIS. The mapping module can be utilized to create loops with Data Driven Pages to display different datasets on the

same map series layout. Similarly, a simple code can be used to loop through a folder of MXDs and update data sources and layer

symbology. For repetitive data analysis conducted on multiple data layers to produce summary statistics in Excel tables, Python is

easily able to export ArcGIS analysis to Excel. Automated mapping and analysis may not be effective for every task, it can save

significate project time and budget when used appropriately.

Christina Kellum, WA Dept. of Ecology

1 Solution for Tracking “Number 2”: Integrating GIS into Ecology's Biosolids Program (40)

Identifying the best solution to integrating an editing workflow into a non-GIS savvy program can be challenging, especially when

employee turnover is high. This presentation will highlight the challenges and solutions to building a multi-user geodatabase, editing

workflow, and data transfer process for a small program in WA Dept. of Ecology.

Alice Pence, City of Auburn, WA

Auburn UAV Program: To Boldly Go Where No Spatial Data has Gone Before (41)

The usage of GIS in the City of Auburn has increase exponentially and to meet the demand of needing up to date imagery, imagery

analysis, and 3D views - the City of Auburn has implemented the first stages of a UAV program. With the UAV program the

opportunities can be endless for what we can achieve in end results for our customers such as; showing aerial views of new

developments in the city and collecting new assets and buildings, landslide and erosion hazards that can be analyzed and mapped

into a 3D view, quick assessments of damage to facilities or roads that can be dangerous for up close inspection, imagery

comparison analysis between seasons for environmental assets and much more. So… “WARP SPEED, Mr. SULU” as we venture into

the new frontier of Auburn’s newest (and coolest) GIS tool.

Eric Gakstatter, Discovery Management Group

Centimeter Accuracy Mapping with a $1,500 Drone (42)

The use of consumer drones for GIS data collection is going to grow dramatically as the FAA rules for commercial use of drones are

changing August 2016 so it's much easier to receive a drone pilot certificate. The low cost and relative ease of use of consumer

drones will make them a powerful tool for generating high-precision GIS data for the ArcGIS environment. When one combines

drone imagery with high-precision GNSS technology, the result is high-precision imagery and point clouds that can be collected at a

fraction of the cost with more flexibility than ever before.

Randy Dana, Oregon Coastal Management Program

Visualizing Sea Level Rise with Citizen Science (43)

Two projects of the Oregon Coastal Management Program are brought together to help us see what sea level rise might mean to

Oregon coastal communities. One project, mapping projected future shorelines, relies on models of land and water surfaces. The

other relies on volunteers photographing predicted tidal high water events. Together, this information shows where rare inundation

events may become common and what they will look like.

Emmor Nile, GISCorps GISCorps: A Volunteer Community of GIS Professionals (44) GISCorps is a program of Urban and Regional Information System Association (URISA) The GISCorps started in 2003 when founder,

Shoreh Elhami, had a simple idea and question: “Would GIS professionals be willing to volunteer their time and expertise – for a

short time – to communities in need?” This presentation will be an overview of GISCorps projects with a focus on projects leverage

technologies to support humanitarian projects.

Molly Vogt, Metro A is for Analytics: Putting data to work (45) We all invest in data and tout systems that support decision-making, but what decisions are we making? Are dashboards and

indicators really adding value or are they lip service? This talk will describe major initiatives that rely on data and

evidence to drive innovation and organizational improvement. GIS professionals have an opportunity to lead these efforts and stake

a claim for GIS in the burgeoning arena of analytics and data science.
