Course Description:
An introduction to the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze and interpret natural resources data, and to solve common conservation problems. Includes a basic introduction to arc view GIS, analysis of habitat loss for endangered species, evaluation of mineral development impacts, watershed analysis, assessing data quality, and environmental analysis of a proposed timber sale.

Land managers, planners, engineers, and geogeeks will be glad to hear that - for the first time ever - Sonoma County has complete countywide LiDAR data! These data, which include the point cloud, numerous raster deliverables, and simultaneously collected 4-band, 6-inch orthophotography are the first deliverables of the Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and LiDAR Program (Sonoma Veg Map). The data are free and publicly available. Go to http://sonomavegmap.org for info and details.
The presentation slides from Tim McGee's presentation at our last user group meeting is now available online. You can view them at http://bit.ly/1kDLBki.
