Hi All,
The 2nd iDigBio Train the Trainers Georeferencing Workshop is almost
here!
Monday - Friday August 12 - 16, 9 am - 5 pm. EDT
Workshop Agenda Wiki: https://tinyurl.com/idbttt2
Attend Remotely via AdobeConnect
(see instructions in PS below): http://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/geotrain/
The workshop will cover tools and techniques used to correctly
interpret textual location data into spatial descriptions that can
be used in mapping and analyses. Participants will learn the
fundamentals of georeferencing best practices through a combination
of lectures and hands-on exercises, including paper maps, the MaNIS
Georeferencing Calculator, GEOLocate, and online exercises. Special
attention will be paid to the specific and unique georeferencing
needs and workflows of the TCNs and their digitization activities.
On behalf of the iDigBio Georeferencing Working Group and all of us
at iDigBio - Hope to see you there!
