Agenda

3-3:10: Welcome, Introductions, and Announcements
3:10 – 3:30 PM: Eva Karau, Analyst, Fire Modeling Institute, Forest Service will speak about wildfirerisk.org data development. Please see details about this data below.
3:30 – 3:40 PM: Tyre to speak about INL maps.
3:40 – 4:15 PM: Discussion

What is the authoritative dataset(s)?
Is this also the best dataset?
Are there things we can do to make this a better dataset?

WILDFIRERISK.ORG DETAILS FROM EVA KARAU:
Wildfire Risk to Communities data are free and available for download as tables and GIS files through the Forest Service Research Data Archive. Here is the link to the page that describes the downloadable data: https://wildfirerisk.org/download/. Scroll down on that page and you will see the individual layers, and in the text there is a link the storage location in the archive, but there are really just 2 data publications, one for the risk datasets (https://www.fs.usda.gov/rds/archive/Catalog/RDS-2020-0016) and one for the populated areas datasets (https://www.fs.usda.gov/rds/archive/catalog/RDS-2020-0060)

Becoming Productive with ArcGIS Pro
2023-06-27 09:00 - 16:00
This workshop is ideal for those transitioning from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro or for others who are new to ArcGIS Pro.
Registration is only $100 per person for this full-day workshop
Time: 9:00a.m. – 4:00p.m.
Day: Tuesday, June 27, 2023
Location: ISU GIS Center, Graveley Hall, B19 or Zoom webinar
Description: ArcGIS Pro is new software that delivers a radically different user interface and a new way of working with GIS. While it is different it is also powerful and not impossible to learn. Join us for this exciting new workshop to learn how you can begin using ArcGIS Pro effectively in your workplace. This full-day workshop teaches the user-interface, how to build maps as ArcGIS Pro Projects, create 3D views, link these views to 2D views, as well as how to query and run geoprocessing tools within ArcGIS Pro.

Geodatabases in ArcGIS Pro
2023-06-28 09:00 - 16:00
Don’t just use the geodatabase like a file folder or a shapefile. In this workshop you will learn how to apply the rich capabilities of the geodatabase to your work in ArcGIS.
Registration is only $100 per person for this full-day workshop.
Time: 9:00a.m. – 4:00p.m.
Day: Wednesday, June 28, 2023
Location: ISU GIS Center, Graveley Hall, B19 or Zoom webinar
Description: Are you hesitant to use ArcGIS Pro because you are not sure how your existing geodatabases will function? This workshop teaches the architecture of the geodatabase and how to leverage its robust capabilities while not losing any cross-platform access with ArcMap or ArcCatalog. This workshop focuses on the file geodatabase with hands-on exercises. In addition, this workshop provides information and hands-on experience with geodatabase development topics such as attribute domains, relationship classes, raster mosaic datasets, and XML workspace documents! This is a full-day workshop.
