Amerisurv - Distance Learning: Something For Everybody
Posted on February 18, 2008
The following article first appeared on Amerisurv.com and the American Surveyor Magazine (Feb 2008) - In surveying circles, it seems that when someone mentions continuing education (CE), somehow the word "mandatory" gets attached to it.
 

Geography Awareness Week and GISDay 2007 - A Few Of Our Favorite Educational Resources
Posted on November 12, 2007
This week we are pleased to celebrate Geographic Awareness. In 1987, U.S. President Ronald Reagan signed legislation establishing the third week in November as Geography Awareness Week (GAW). Every year since then, the National Geographic Society has promoted the importance of geography to the public and to schools throughout the United States and in Canada during Geography Awareness Week. During that time approximately 1.5 million students have participated in geography-related activities. Join us in celebrating Geography Awareness Week & GIS Day 2007.
 

Conference Review: Agents of Change (Autodesk University 2006)
Posted on March 01, 2007
I am not precisely a hick, but perhaps it is relevant to point out that the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, site of Autodesk University 2006, is considerably bigger, spatially and in population, than my adopted hometown of Paonia, Colorado. Heck, the lobby is probably bigger. And it's got more marble inlay than Paonia has pavement, more chandeliers than Paonia has light bulbs, more fancy restaurants than Paonia has ovens... but you get the idea; the Venetian is big and opulent, a shrine to money and consumption and human engineering audacity, and entirely fitting as a showcase of Autodesk technology.

Information and Communication Technologies Reduce Island Vulnerability
Posted on December 10, 2004
What is the best way of ensuring that an island does not run out of fresh water? The answer is simple, monitor the water levels, step in and cart water when the water levels are running low. South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) is using GIS and Remote Sensing technology to tackle the water issues in Fiji.
