  • Our Partner ITT proposes a webinar: Using Imagery With GIS, on March 16

    Open
    Date : March 14, 2010


    Using Imagery With GIS

    Please join ITT Visual Information Solutions for a one hour webinar to learn how ENVI integrates with ArcGIS© to streamline the process of creating and updating spatial data from imagery. In this webinar, you will learn how image analysis and GIS data management can be combined quickly and effectively by taking advantage of the suite of tools in the ENVI product family that integrate closely with ArcGIS.

     

    Topics covered in this webinar include how to:

    * Perform classifications and other image processing tasks.
    * Export results directly to ArcGIS native formats.
    * Use ENVI results in ArcGIS to calculate new fields in vector geodatabase formats.
    * Use ModelBuilder to call ENVI processes.
    * Use spatial queries to relate the results of ENVI EX Feature Extraction to existing datasets.

     

    This webinar is open to all and no previous ENVI experience is necessary. Pre-registration is required.

     

    This webinar will be offered at two different times:

  • Aquatic 'dead zones' contributing to climate change

    Open
    Date : March 13, 2010

    The increased frequency and intensity of oxygen-deprived "dead zones" along the world's coasts can negatively impact environmental conditions in far more than just local waters. In the March 12 edition of the journal Science, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science oceanographer Dr. Lou Codispoti explains that the increased amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) produced in low-oxygen (hypoxic) waters can elevate concentrations in the atmosphere, further exacerbating the impacts of global warming and contributing to ozone "holes" that cause an increase in our exposure to harmful UV radiation.
