Frontier Partner Webinar: Obtaining Orthometric Heights In ArcGIS Field Maps With Trimble Receivers

Craig Clouet — Wed, 26 May 2021 00:55:44 GMT

USDA Image Service

Christine Chaplin — Mon, 17 May 2021 22:23:41 GMT

Recently at the HIGICC meeting, USDA (GEO Branch) made a presentation on a new upcoming Hawaiian Islands ImageServer Service. I just want to announce that USDA (GEO) has went live with a new Hawaiian Island’s ImageServer Service on 5/11/2021. Yesterday, I asked USGS, Census, State of Hawaii and the University of Hawaii-Hilo to test the new USDA (GEO) service. All tested the service successfully.

The following are links to the new service:

Hawaii Public Image Service:https://nrcsgeoservices.sc.egov.usda.gov/arcgis/rest/services/ortho_imagery/hawaii_vivid/ImageServer

Hawaii Public Metadata Service: https://nrcsgeoservices.sc.egov.usda.gov/arcgis/rest/services/ortho_imagery/hawaii_vivid_metadata/MapServer

The imagery listed above is available to the general public. This service cannot be resold as a service by a third party. The data is licensed from Maxar-DigitalGlobe. It is 50 cm, four bands of orthoimagery mostly from 2019 and 2020. Maxar allows USDA to serve this data to the general public as long as the publicly available ImageServer service does not allow a data download function.

NGS GPS on BenchMarks

Christine Chaplin — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 20:50:46 GMT

GPS on Bench Marks

Help improve the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) and prepare for the NSRS modernization in 2022 by participating in the GPS on Bench Marks (GPS on BM) for the Transformation Tool campaign. Your efforts will support the following objectives:

Improve the 2022 Transformation Tool, which will enable conversions from current vertical datums to the North American-Pacific Geopotential Datum of 2022 (NAPGD2022) and will be integrated into the NGS Coordinate Conversion and Transformation Tool (NCAT).

Update Passive Control Status: mark recoveries and shared solutions provide NGS and other users of the NSRS with insight into the health of the passive control network and updated information for project planning.

Automatic Reprocessing in 2022: Shared data will be automatically reprocessed and given new coordinates after the NSRS modernization occurs in 2022.

Recover, Observe, Report

Regardless of your objective, GPS on BM will always include three important steps: recover, observe, and report.

Recover: Using web maps or other desktop tools to look up the description of an existing bench mark and visit the bench mark of your choice and submit a mark recovery.

Observe: Record field notes, take digital photos, and collect GPS observations for the bench mark you visit.

Report: Use online tools to send the information to NGS.

Call for Proposals - University Consortium for Geographic Information Science Symposium

Christine Chaplin — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 23:28:36 GMT

Call for Proposals - University Consortium for Geographic Information Science Symposium

For the first time ever, the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS.org), the national hub for the GIScience academic community will be holding our annual Symposium in Honolulu at the end of May 2020.

While the program will be academic in nature, our plan for the program is to provide an interesting collection of thematically coherent sessions on a broad range of topics that each combine presentations on basic research in GIScience plus related education and application issues.

Since Hawaii is my home and I’m President, I have decreed that we will make the Saturday afternoon available as a half day registration specifically for the Hawaii professional GIS community. We’ll offer 2 or 3 of these sessions followed by a Pau Hana when you can mingle with GIS professors, grad students and researchers from across the US. I realize many of our local professionals did not get the chance to study GIS in college, so this will give you some idea of what’s going on in the Ivory Tower these days.

We are still putting together the program, and have an open call out (deadline this Friday 11/15!) to the academic community. In an effort to get as much local content as possible, and since I know that many of you support the work of scientists from various universities across the US, I thought I’d see if any of you might have some academic colleagues you might engage in preparing a proposal.

Please get in touch with me if you want to bounce ideas for proposals. Deadline is Friday! Sorry for the short notice.

NGS Invites Public Comment on Retiring the U.S. Survey Foot After 2022

Christine Chaplin — Mon, 28 Oct 2019 20:37:53 GMT

NGS Invites Public Comment on Retiring the U.S. Survey Foot After 2022

NOAA's National Ocean Service sent this bulletin at 10/21/2019 10:00 AM EDT

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page.

Public Comment on Retiring the U.S. Survey Foot

The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Office of Weights and Measures and NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS) have co-issued a Federal Register Notice (FRN) to retire the U.S. Survey Foot After 2022.

We are soliciting public comment to ensure that this change is made in an orderly fashion with minimal disruption.

Important Dates:

October 17, 2019 - First FRN Published inviting public comment on deprecation of the U.S. survey foot after 2022.

December 2, 2019 - Comment period deadline. Submit all comments electronically by this date.

June 30, 2020 - Final Rule - A second FRN will formally announce the change will be published before this date and will describe the details and the change process.

December 31, 2022 - The U.S. survey foot will be deemed obsolete and superseded by the foot (formerly known as the international foot) equal to 0.3048 meter exactly for all applications.

Submitting Comments:

NIST and NOAA are managing the submission and posting of public comments online. Use the “Submit a Formal Comment” link near the top right of the Federal Register webpage. You can also search for the FRN at https://www.regulations.gov/.

Background

The definition of the foot was updated in 1959 in the United States, but a previous definition of the foot is still in use and has caused confusion over time. The legally defined “international foot” and the older “U.S. survey foot” differ by only 0.01 foot per mile.

However, having both definitions in use often has resulted in confusion in surveying and mapping where computing accurate coordinates over large distances are commonly required. Retiring the U.S. survey foot will eliminate this confusion, and after 2022 the international foot will simply be called the foot. Read more on the NIST website.

The modernization of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) in 2022 is the perfect time to move the United States toward a single, uniform definition of the foot. Both NOAA and NIST have decided to deprecate the US foot through two co-issued Federal Register Notices, and by conducting public outreach.

THE BIG PICTURE

This is a three-tiered celebration of student problem-solving and analysis with maps. Students do a custom project and use an ArcGIS Online Organization account to create a web app or story map about something within the borders of the state, and submit it to the school. Schools submit up to five "school finalists" to the state. The state chooses five HS and five MS "state awardees" who each receive a prize of $100; from each set of five, the state also selects one "national finalist" for a final level of competition; the state sends to Esri data about all 10 awardees and total participants. Esri maps participants, awardees, and national finalists, and selects one national winner at HS level and one at MS level, who each earn trips to Esri's Education GIS Conference, in San Diego, CA, July 11-14, 2020. Winners are recognized and show their map in the main Map Gallery.

Third and Final Informational Meeting on Oahu Tsunami Mapping Project

Christine Chaplin — Fri, 20 Sep 2019 19:00:00 GMT

The third and final informational meeting will be held on Friday, September 20 from 9-11AM in Building 303 in Diamond Head Crater.

The Hawaii Coastal Zone Management program (CZM) initiated a project to generate high-resolution Tsunami Design Zone (TDZ) maps for the Island of O'ahu. The project, identified as a priority in the State Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan and incorporated into the CZM’s 5-Year Coastal Hazard’s Strategy, will replace the low-resolution TDZ maps currently in the ASCE 7-16 standard so that future tsunami design on O'ahu will have the benefit of more accurate and informative mapping products. This third and final Project Information Meeting will provide an overview of the project and review the final mapping products prepared for the entire coastline of O`ahu.

DBEDT RELEASES 2018 STATE OF HAWAII DATA BOOK

Christine Chaplin — Thu, 15 Aug 2019 23:21:09 GMT

HONOLULU – The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) today released the 2018 edition of the “State of Hawaii Data Book.”

The book is in electronic form and is available on the DBEDT website at: dbedt.hawaii.gov/economic/databook/. The data may be downloaded in whole or in part as either PDF or Excel files.

The Hawaii State Data Book is the most comprehensive statistical book about Hawaii in a single compilation. Classified into 24 sections with more than 800 data tables, it covers a broad range of information in areas such as population, education, environment, economics, energy, business enterprises, government, tourism, and transportation.

“The Data Book is valuable for anyone who wants to open a business in Hawaii or just wants to know general information about the state,” said DBEDT Director Mike McCartney. “DBEDT researchers have been collecting and compiling the data more than 50 years. The information in the book will help us understand where we came from, identify and track trends and assist us in planning for the future.”

“We update the data book year-round when data becomes available then compile the information around mid-August every year. Due to the size limit of the book, we did not include all the available historical data in many of the tables. For those who are interested in historical time-series data in the book, we have extracted and extended those tables with historical data and put them in a separate product called the Data Book Time Series, which can be found on the DBEDT website. Location of the website is provided at the end of this press release,” said State Economist Dr. Eugene Tian.

Interesting data in this newest edition:

· In 2018, the U.S. Postal Service delivered 527 million pieces of mail in Hawaii, 10 million pieces or 1.9 percent less than it delivered in 2017. (Table 16.05)

· According to the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife, 30,593 acres of forest and brushland were burned by 13 fires in 2018. (Table 20.03)

· In 2018, 6.9 percent of the employed in Hawaii were multiple jobholders, showing an increase from 6.5 percent in 2017. By comparison, 5.0 percent of the employed in the United States were multiple jobholders in 2018. Hawaii’s rank among the 50 states and the District of Columbia, where one is the highest percentage of multiple jobholders, rose from 14 in 2017 to 10 in 2018. (Table 12.24)

· Since the SAT was redesigned in 2016, Hawaii’s average scores have been higher than U.S. averages. In 2018, the average SAT score in Hawaii was 1099 (out of 1600). The average SAT score for the U.S. was 1067. (Table 3.21)

· In March 2018, education, as a share of state & local employment (full-time and part-time), measured at 56.1 percent while its share of total payroll was 47.4 percent. Counting state government only, education was 71.1 percent of total state government employment and 63.7 percent of state government payroll. (Table 9.64)

· The median age for Hawaii’s residents was 39.2 in July 2018. There were 66 dependent people (defined as persons under 18 years and persons 65 years and over) for every 100 working-age people (defined as persons between the ages of 18 and 64 years old). (Table 1.30)

GISCI Establishes Position on Geospatial Data Act of 2017

Craig Clouet — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 17:14:00 GMT

The GIS Certification Institute (GISCI) has crafted the following position statement in response to the Federal Geospatial Data Act of 2017 (S.1253). S.1253 is co-sponsored by Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Dean Heller (R-NV) and Mark Warner (D-VA) has been a topic of much discussion within the GIS community. The American Association of Geographers (AAG) and the Urban Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) have expressed specific concerns about the bill as currently written.

Upon review of the Bill the GISCI Board of Directors has identified the following concerns.

Purpose Statement: The bill lacks a clear purpose statement. We believe this creates opportunities for misinterpretation of the Bill's intent. A well-crafted purpose statement would help "put a fence" around the Bill and minimize opportunities for misinterpretation.

Section 10 (Funding): We believe the language in this section is unnecessarily broad and could reduce or eliminate the availability of funds for research and other efforts not specific to the purpose of this Bill. A clear purpose statement along with some adjustments to Section 10 would help alleviate this concern.

Section 11 (Use of Private Sector): This is the area of greatest concern given the conflation of "surveying and mapping" with "geospatial data" and the potential that federally funded geospatial data activities could be limited to architectural/engineering firms and licensed surveyors. We are specifically concerned about the wording in subsections b and c, which state:

Subsection (b) DEFINITION -- For purposes of selecting a firm for a contract under chapter 11 of title 40, United States Code, the term ''surveying and mapping'' shall have the meaning given the term ''geospatial data'' in section 2 of this Act.

Subsection (c) MODIFICATION OF FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION - Part 36 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 C.F.R. 36.000 et seq.) shall be revised to specify that the definition of the term ''architectural and engineering services'' includes surveying and mapping services and the acquisition of geospatial data, to which the selection procedures of subpart 36.6 of such part 36 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation shall apply.

We believe these provisions could seriously impact the livelihood of Certified GIS Professionals (GISP®) and unnecessarily increase the cost of Federal geospatial data collection and management.

The GISCI Board of Directors is confident that these concerns can be addressed while maintaining the purpose and goals of the Federal Geospatial Data Act (S.1253).

Federal Data Backup and Access

Craig Clouet — Mon, 06 Feb 2017 20:25:21 GMT

There has been a thread on the Society for Conservation GIS (SCGIS) list serve about the possibility of losing access to federally archived geospatial data. Here is a consolidation of the thread and what you can do to help….

People have been hoping for the best and planning for the worst:

A number are preparing for loss of the data. There are a few parallel movements, but we do work together. The people taking the lead are the PPEH Lab at UPenn - they're doing amazing work and have professional archivists and librarians involved to make sure data integrity is maintained. On the other side of it, I run a team of volunteers over at http://climatemirror.org where we are tracking and storing datasets to make sure they don't disappear, and working to capture data portals.

More normal backups were taken by the Internet Archive and the California Digital Library (as part of their "End of Term Harvest" that they run at each presidential transition) - these capture web pages and linked small datasets, and can be searched publicly at http://archive.org. More information on any of this Nick http://nicksantos.com (Nick Santos [nrsantos@UCDAVIS.EDU]

DATA RESCUE SERIES: Perhaps you read last week’s Wired article about scientists archiving US gov climate change data and websites leading up to and continuing through the administration change? This is the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative, and since the election, @EnviroDGI has been hosting #DataRescue events for at-risk government datasets. The first was held in Canada, where people were already organized due to the anti-science Harper administration destroying libraries of un-digitized science research in 2013 (https://envirodatagov.org/building-an-archive-of-vulnerability-guerrillaarchiving-at-uoft/)

The next event in the Data Rescue series is happening right here in New York City & your participation will make a difference! Join us on Saturday, February 4. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/data-rescue-nyc-tickets-31332874471

Data Rescue NYC works to secure federal environmental data in the face of the Trump administration’s large-scale efforts to dismantle environmental regulation. This work is urgent since the Trump administration has immediately begun to scrub environmental data from federal websites.

Data Rescue NYC brings together concerned citizens with experts in information technology, archiving and environmental science and policy. We need capable web-savvy and technical members of the public, librarians, and people with environmental expertise. Building on experience from similar events, everyone’s skills will be put to work in organized cooperation.

Join us for a day of preserving valuable environmental data from attempts to undermine science in the public service. Bring your laptop, water bottle, and snacks.

Hosted by New York University, Data Rescue NYC is run by the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI) in collaboration with the PPEHlab’s DataRefuge project. Here are links to background and news coverage. It is part of a decentralized effort including previous events in Toronto, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and elsewhere.

More information can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/704371486406298/

How you can prepare in advance:
- Download and install our web browser extension, which works with the Chrome browser. http://tinyurl.com/zyuqx7l
- Coders can review our tools, including web crawlers and scrapers, in the EDGI Github: https://github.com/edgi-govdata-archiving - experience using web APIs, and cloudweb services like Amazon S3 is a plus!

The exhibit features papers and maps produced by UHM students in sociology classes during the 1930s and 1940s, which shed light on social conditions in Hawaiʻi in the Territorial era. The material on view came mostly from Romanzo Adams Social Research Laboratory (RASRL) Collection housed in the University Archives. The exhibit is co-guest curated by Dr. Lori Pierce, DePaul University and Dr. Christine Kirk-Kuwaye, a retired UHM faculty member and independent scholar.

The exhibit is viewable during the Moir Reading Room hours (check the library's website for current Reading Room hours - look under "Archives and Manuscripts"). For more information, read the UH News article on the exhibit, or contact archives@hawaii.edu.

Census 2020 Boundary Redistriciting

Craig Clouet — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:21:02 GMT

Redistricting of legislative boundaries occurs every ten years. The next redistricting will be in 2021 and will be based on data gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2020. The Census Bureau is currently reviewing the census block boundaries that will be used in the 2020 Census and is seeking input from interested groups in Hawaii.

Census block tabulation boundaries are important not only for redistricting but also for appropriating Federal funds to local communities as well as providing data on population growth and income levels that are important for commerce and economic development.

The State of Hawaii Office of Elections and the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism are jointly hosting a meeting in Honolulu where representatives from the U.S. Census Bureau will present an overview of the 2020 Census Redistricting Data Program and other geographic programs focusing on operations and timelines. A complete agenda can be found at this link: http://arcg.is/2ccytWH.

The meeting will be held on September 14^th from 9 to 11 am at the Hawaii State Capitol, Room 325. The meeting will be recorded if you cannot attend.

If you can attend, please RSVP to census@dbedt.hawaii.gov so we know how many people to expect.

State of Hawaii GIS Update

Craig Clouet — Thu, 26 May 2016 18:05:13 GMT

As some of you may have heard, the Hawaii Office of Planning Statewide GIS Program (OP/GIS) and the State Chief Information Officer-led Office of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) are working together to upgrade our GIS capabilities to take advantage of current trends in Web GIS and cloud services. Our ultimate goal is to make it easier for all State employees, contractors and the public to use, make and share maps on any device at any time.

We, along with our vendor partner, Esri, have completed an inventory of all of the State GIS data in our database, removed outdated data layers, and re-organized the remaining layers. The revised database is being installed on a server on the State network, and has also being migrated into the Esri cloud and deployed as web services, which will provide benefits including enhanced accessibility and availability. As a result, the web services in our current environment (http://gis.hawaii.gov/arcgis/rest/services) will have new REST service endpoints (http://geodata.hawaii.gov/arcgis/rest/services). There will be an intentional 3-week overlap, during which both the gis.hawaii.gov services and the geodata.hawaii.gov services will be running simultaneously. The services at http://geodata.hawaii.gov/arcgis/rest/services are now online. The services at gis.hawaii.gov are scheduled to be taken off-line on June 15.

Because these new services will have new URLs, all web maps or applications that use the existing gis.hawaii.gov services will have to be modified to point to the data at geodata.hawaii.gov. In order to assist you in this effort, we’ve attached instructions on how to determine whether your maps are affected by this change, instructions on how to use the ArcGIS Online Assistant tool to modify your maps to point to the new services, and a cross-walk table to help you make the changes.

In addition, as part of this effort, more than a terabyte of high-resolution raster data, including historical maps and satellite/aerial imagery, has been loaded into the Esri cloud and will be available in ArcGIS Online, ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, and to the public via REST services, including:

· · historical topographic maps from 1910 through the 1940s;

· · imagery from the 1920s, 1950s and 1960s; and

· · the latest WorldView 2 and WorldView 3 imagery and 2015 coastal imagery

With such major upgrades, there will inevitably be bumps along the way. Please let us know right away about any issues you encounter. We will work with Esri and ETS to resolve issues and make improvements.

This is an exciting time for the Statewide GIS, and we hope that you find that these changes improve and enhance the GIS experience. You may contact any of us at the Statewide GIS Program or the Office of Enterprise Technology Services for more information or assistance:

NOAA's C-CAP Dataset and it's many uses. Webinar hosted by the HIGICC

HIGICC Administrator — Fri, 29 Aug 2014 10:21:07 GMT

Please join the HIGICC webinar presented by NOAA staff. Friday September 19th at 10AM HST

This presentation will provide an overview of NOAA’s Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) land cover data products, the methods used to develop this data, and the current status of C-CAP's land cover update efforts for the state of Hawaii

Nationally standardized land cover and land cover change information for the coastal U.S., including Hawaii, are available from NOAA's Digital Coast website. These data products provide an inventory of intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands. Most of the map products are updated every five years. High resolution land cover data are also available for selected areas, which is particularly helpful for smaller, enclosed geographies such as the Pacific Islands. This presentation will provide an overview of NOAA’s Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) land cover data products, the methods used to develop this data, and the current status of C-CAP's land cover update efforts for the state of Hawaii. Additionally, some of the various tools and technical assistance available for end users will be discussed.
