Please join us on January 17th at 5 PM to learn more about how natural resource professionals use LIDAR in design, analysis, and mapping. Do you have a basic understanding of LIDAR data and the vocabulary…. bare earth, DEM, hillshade, point clouds, first returns etc.? Can LIDAR data be used to investigate spatial and temporal patterns? Do you use LIDAR and want to learn and discuss more? Engineering Geologist Bill Burns will be leading this month’s discussion. Bill works for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industry (DOGAMI) and he has been using LIDAR for years to help analyze and map landslide hazard zones, Missoula floods, and other geographic features. Come learn more about Bill’s uses of LIDAR data in the earth sciences and how you as an ecologist can become more acquainted with this “relative new” and untapped resource. In 2002 Lefsky et al. said that ecologists will be very interested in LIDAR because it directly measures canopies in 3D and can accurately estimates vegetation structure attributes. The data is most likely available for projects within the Portland metro area, are you ready to use the data? http://www.oregongeology.org/pubs/fs/landslide-inv-factsheet.pdf http://www.oregongeology.org/pubs/ims/p-ims-036.htm The meeting location is at the River East Center. Address: 1515 SE Water Ave. The main doors are only open until 6:30. If your late phone a friend to run down and open the door. We will be meeting in the Mount Adams room on the 3rd floor.

Tuesday, December 18th Noon to 1:00 pm Portland Building Auditorium 1120 SW Fifth Ave., 2nd Floor Portland, OR 97204 The Columbia and Willamette are shaped by a striking array of physical and biological processes. Recent, highly detailed, geomorphic mapping of the Lower Columbia River and portions of the Willamette River are revealing landforms created by geologic processes that work over a variety of temporal and spatial scales—from the ice-age Missoula Floods, which defined overall valley geometry, to annual freshets that build channel-flanking sand bars. This mapping aids conservation strategies by providing an inventory of landforms and associated habitats; a basis for evaluating alterations and trajectories; and, most importantly, a framework for linking habitats and landforms to specific formative processes, thereby equipping managers with data needed to achieve realistic and sustainable objectives. Join Jim O’Connor, research hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, as he describes how our area’s newest mapping is shedding light on conservation opportunities. City of Beaverton is hiring a temporary GIS Technician. The position pays $17.24hr / 40hrs per week and will last approximately 6 months. They would like to hire someone to start by 1/2/2013.
