Free Educational Seminar and RIGIS User Group Meeting *Introduction to Aerial and Satellite Images of Rhode Island* Friday August 19, 2016 8:30am (onsite registration opens) 9:00am - 12:00pm Coastal Institute University of Rhode Island, Kingston Campus 1 Greenhouse Road, Kingston, RI There is a wealth of aerial and satellite images of Rhode Island that are freely available online. Tapping into them can be challenging if you're unsure where to look and if you're not familiar with some basic tools and techniques to view them. This half-day seminar will introduce you to a number of online sources of image data for Rhode Island, with a special emphasis on data available from the Rhode Island Geographic Information System (RIGIS) consortium, USGS, and NOAA. We will also highlight a suite of new image services featuring RIGIS data that are now under development by Rhode IslandView. YOU will guide the techniques highlighted in this seminar. Are you most interested in viewing these images with ArcGIS Online in a classroom setting? Do you prefer using the image data in ArcGIS for Desktop or an alternative? Do you need to view the data on a mobile device (phone, tablet)? Or are you developing custom web applications that require image data? Let us know! *Vote for the technique you are most interested in learning about by registering for this event now*: Register now: http://bit.ly/RIimagery_Aug19 IMPORTANT: All attendees will need a URI visitor parking permit which will be provided ahead of time to all who register using the above URL.
