The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) is a nonprofit, multidisciplinary organization geared toward professionals using GIS in urban and regional environments. I recently attended a meeting held by the northern California chapter of URISA in Sacramento, the theme of which happened to be web-based mapping. The first presenter was Brian Morgan from the UC Davis, which apparently has an extensive arboretum utilized regularly by students for research purposes. Darrin Farmer from Weston Solutions gave a presentation on a geospatial information “dashboard” developed for water-resource employees. Finally, Doug Renwick from HostGIS in Arcata talked about free, open-source GIS and web mapping technologies. A lovely and informative meeting overall!
