2019 SCGIS Pre-conference workshop instructor Sunday July 14th:
“Spatial Data Analysis with R” (Instructor: Andy Lyons)
Intro Bio from UCANR site
“I would like to welcome Andy Lyons as Academic Coordinator III in the ANR Informatics and GIS (IGIS) Statewide Program. Andy comes to ANR from Stanford and before that Berkeley, where he completed his PhD in ESPM. He has an exceptionally broad academic training, bridging both the social and natural sciences, with considerable experience within both academic and not-for-profit business environments. He has a strong combination of ecology, social science, data science, and computer applications (programming, data management, multimedia, web, modeling), and grant/report writing skills. He is also a gifted teacher, won awards for his teaching at Cal including an Outstanding Graduate Instructor Award in 2004, and has been one of our instructors at the GIF's Spatial Data Science Bootcamp.”

IGIS is pleased to release a new map of the ANR network. This poster-size map of the state includes 60 Cooperative Extension Offices, 9 RECS, and 6 affiliated campuses. The legend is accompanied by short descriptions of the main components of ANR, as well as logos of the Statewide Program and Institutes. As far as we know, this is the first attempt ever to map the entire ANR continuum.
