Esri Charts a New Direction in Training

By Carla Wheeler
Esri Writer

Say goodbye to formal lectures and hello to more participation from students like yourself when you take instructor-led GIS courses from Esri. A new course design and training delivery style developed by Esri stresses interactive learning. Students now take a more active role in class, with instructors eliciting discussion by posing more questions and assigning students to work together in small groups on short problem-solving exercises. Classmates are encouraged to share their on-the-job GIS experiences. Lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on software exercises place greater emphasis on real-world scenarios and situations. "We want learning to be fun, easy, and applicable," said Esri national instructor manager Krista Page. Read the article.

Directions Magazine Webinar: A Paradigm Shift in Geospatial Intelligence? Challenges for a New Generation of Analysts

Is the GEOINT paradigm shifting from the technologically centric “find, fix and finish” warfare to a more anticipatory posture focused on human interests? Is today’s GEOINT community prepared for the analytic challenge of including cultural, population, economic and political geographies? What are the implications for the tradecraft and the geospatial intelligence professional? We believe changes are underway, and this webinar addresses what those changes mean to those who work in, support or are training in this field. USGIF and a panel of experts dive into this topic in a webinar taking place December 9th at 2 p.m. Read more about it in this post.

Remote Sensing UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)

Currently the Gatewing X100 is only offered with a metric digital camera. As you will see in the video the focus is on digital terrain modeling and orthophotos, but can anyone doubt that this system will not be used for LiDAR in the near future.

The pace of innovation seems to be accelerating lately. Perhaps this is a result of the challenging economy. It would not take that many projects to recover the $50k investment in the X100 – incredible.

Visual Fusion 5.0: New Release

Yesterday we released the latest version of our flagship product, Visual Fusion. Visual Fusion 5.0 is a very exciting milestone for us—and for our customers. The new visualization, contribution, and SharePoint integration features break new ground in business intelligence software.

I thought I’d show off some of the highlights of the release:

OSGeo-Live 4.0.1

OSGeo-Live is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Xubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around.

Google Earth Pro 6: Measure your world in 3D

We’re excited to announce a new addition to the Advanced Measurement Tool Suite in Google Earth Pro: you can now measure in 3D!

Pro customers recently ranked Area Measurement as one of the most valuable Google Earth Pro tools, so we wanted to add more to the package. In a continued effort to mirror the real world, allowing you to lift measurements off the ground and extend them in to the 3D realm seemed a natural next step.

1st Conference on Spatial Statistics 2011

Spatial statistics is a rapidly developing field which involves the quantitative analysis of spatial data and the statistical modelling of spatial variability and uncertainty. Applications of spatial statistics are for a broad range of environmental disciplines such as agriculture, geology, soil science, hydrology, ecology, oceanography, forestry, meteorology and climatology, but also for socio-economic disciplines such as human geography, spatial econometrics, epidemiology and spatial planning.

The aim of the meeting is to present interdisciplinary research where applicability in other disciplines is a central core concept.

Google Earth 6 (brings 3D Trees!)

3D scenes and models are now even more realistic in Google Earth 6 thanks to 3D Trees.  With 3D trees in Google Earth, we’ve brought characteristic trees to life, from the palm trees that dot San Francisco’s bayfront Embarcadero Street, to the olive trees that cling to the Acropolis in Athens, to the flowering dogwoods found in Tokyo’s parks. All told, there are around 50 different tree species to explore in Google Earth and counting – This first release of 3D trees in Google Earth includes more than 80 million trees to study and explore.
