http://www.esri.com/events/ocean The Esri Ocean GIS Forum brings together thought leaders from the ocean GIS community in an interactive environment that fosters exploration, collaboration, learning, and innovation. This year's forum will focus on new, innovative GIS tools and forward-thinking solutions built to provide a deeper understanding of our oceans. When you join your colleagues and Esri subject matter experts at the Esri campus in Redlands, California, on October 31, you will have a front-row seat to shaping the future of ocean and maritime GIS design. Share your ideas and successes with industry colleagues and help shape the future of GIS design through one-on-one collaboration. Learn how GIS serves as a powerful tool for scientific understanding, by improving analyses, insights, efficiencies, communication, and maritime workflows in government and commercial communities. Discover the ways in which multi-dimensional data and web apps can help you put cutting-edge scientific information to work in your organization at Technical Workshops. Learn how to extract more value from your marine and coastal data when it is filtered, analyzed, and viewed on a smart map - producing better informed decisions. Explore and test-drive ArcGIS 10.5 with free, expert-led training at the Hands-On Learning Lab. Attend dynamic presentations from Esri staff, partners, and customers at the Plenary Session, Lightning Talks, and User Presentations. Return to your campus, organization, or institution with a deeper understanding of how GIS technology serves as a powerful tool in the areas of ocean science research and analysis, ocean use planning, marine resilience management, conservation and restoration, and much more! You can't afford to miss this unique opportunity to learn proven best practices firsthand from ocean and maritime industry thought leaders, grow your professional network, expand your GIS skill set, and implement new approaches to success in 2017 and beyond! Don't wait to sign-up. The early-bird registration deadline is August 31, 2017.

Hi Duncan - I have taken the liberty of forwarding this entire thread to Esri Research Cartographer Aileen Buckley who used to run the Mapping Center/Ask a Cartographer resource that you seek, as well Esri Chief Cartographer Charlie Frye. Hopefully they will get back to you soon as well.

It sure does! The EPA Western Regional Lab in Corvallis, OR still runs their AML scripts successfully too!

Yes, Dustin Nelson please stand by. I will post a full recap on various social media sites (including here), also with a large library of photos, as soon as we can gather all the pieces.

Great thoughts and thanks Jane Schafer-Kramer! I heard that same interview on NPR and it is indeed so germane to our discussion. Both Jon Foley and I have been following Alan Alda's work for some time, especially as it mirrors the Leopold Environmental Leadership Program that we were both trained under wrt science communication. Good suggestion of Alan Alda as a speaker, especially if he is able to meet the requirement of adding a decidedly geospatial flavor to his remarks as Jon was able to do so effectively. We do already have a Science Symposium speaker lined up for 2018 (Camilo Mora), secured early given his busy schedule. And given the height of Mr. Alda's celebrity it will likely take some doing to secure him in any capacity. But one can shoot for the stars. The work that Alan Alda and others (such as COMPASS Science Communication, Inc.) are doing is indeed so very valuable and needed these days. I hope that others will look at the NPR interview that you shared!

Thanks to the many hundreds who attended this afternoon's UC Science Symposium. There we so many people that we were not able to get to during the Q&A session, after Jon Foley's thought-provoking keynote and reaction panel. Perhaps we can continue the discussion here? Feel free to post your questions and reactions and let's keep the momentum going! Photos and a recap of the Science Symposium still forthcoming. A few takeaways from Jon Foley's talk: Want to actually make the world better with science communication? Talk about hope more than fear, solutions more than problems, stories more than data. Big data not enough! Need big Wisdom that is ACTIONABLE!

Esri Science pre-UC news items: (1) You can download a separate copy of the Esri UC Q&A item: “How is Esri advancing geographic science?” on Box at https://esri.box.com/s/prrilbsuijxpi6ek1yp7stdn8y33g4ug . (2) We have over 700 RSVPed for the Esri Science Symposium on Tuesday of UC. Even if you didn’t get a chance to RSVP, you can still come at any time, especially for the beer and networking at the end. There should be enough seating in SDCC Ballroom 20A. The networking reception at 5:00-6:00, will be at the SDCC Center Terrace, outside and to the LEFT of Ballroom 20, overlooking San Diego Bay. (3) Thanks to @[Steve Kopp] for the item below: Regarding ArcGIS on the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE; i.e., supercomputers): the licensing for this is figured out now and plans are moving forward with allowing research and education use of ArcGIS on the NSF XSEDE supercomputer system. Final details are getting worked through and there will be a formal press release in a month or so. If you are someone from research or academia who wants to run something really big (geoanalytics, raster analytics, geoevent), there is now a place you can do this FOR FREE, and you can run as many ArcGIS processes as you want, again, FOR FREE. If interested and want to know more, contact Eric Shook eshook@umn.edu at Univ of Minnesota eshook@umn.edu. He is the GIS domain lead for XSEDE and the primary person we are coordinating through. He can help them understand XSEDE qualification requirements and how to apply for an allocation. Esri and XSEDE will collaborate to set up ArcGIS Enterprise with big data extensions with a Jupyter sandbox later this summer where XSEDE users can easily play and get started. For those who want to run specific or larger projects they will also be able to configure and manage their own cluster. Background: XSEDE is the eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment, the NSF funded collection of research supercomputer centers in the US. Their hardware includes supercomputers running special OS and middleware, as well as large windows clusters for cloud configuration, including JetStream, which has over 15,000 cores and 80Tb of RAM. Good luck at UC!

Our Esri Applications Prototype Lab has been experimenting with use of EMU data in their 3D Fences/Curtain tool. See some neat results on YouTube. For more information on 3D Fences and to download the free tool, see http://esriurl.com/3dfence. And note that a new version of this tool that works with both Arcmap and ArcGIS Pro is now available.

Wednesday, May 17, 2 pm US EDT/11 am US PDT/6 pm UTC Ecological Marine Units: A 3-D Mapping of the Ocean Based on NOAA’s World Ocean Atlas (Tools Included) by Dawn Wright of Esri. This webinar reports progress on the Ecological Marine Units (EMU) project, a new undertaking commissioned by the Group on Earth Observations, to develop a standardized and practical global ecosystems classification and map for the oceans. The EMU is comprised of a global point mesh framework, created from 52,487,233 points from the NOAA World Ocean Atlas. Each point has x, y, z, as well as six attributes of chemical and physical oceanographic structure (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, silicate, phosphate) that are likely drivers of many ecosystem responses. We identify and map 37 environmentally distinct 3D regions (candidate ‘ecosystems’) within the water column. These units can be attributed according to their productivity, direction and velocity of currents, species abundance, global seafloor geomorphology, and more. A series of data products for open access will share the 3D point mesh and EMU clusters at the surface, bottom, and within the water column, as well as 2D and 3D web apps for exploration of the EMUs and the original World Ocean Atlas data. This webinar will provide an overview of the EMU project and cover recent developments and future plans for the EMUs. Webinar co-sponsored by the EBM Tools Network (co-coordinated by NatureServe and OpenChannels.org) and MEAM. Presented today to 140 attendees, over 300 total registrants. The (Coastal-Marine) Ecosystem Based Management Tools Network is co-coordinated by NatureServe and OpenChannels. The recording is posted at https://www.openchannels.org/webinars/2017/ecological-marine-units-3-d-mapping-ocean-based-noaas-world-ocean-atlas, which includes slides and notes.
