Hi Jen- I think that there’s a ton of interest AND need for more than one session in CT. I’ve sent a request - well more of a plea…to add another session here in CT. I’m 16th on a waitlist for a class that maxed out at 24 participants so I’m hoping NOAA recognizes that there’s a good enough demand to justify another course. Here in CT we just flew a statewide 3” pixel aerial and our first statewide lidar. We’re getting 1 ft contours. I think this class would be able to help us leverage more use out of that investment. I wouldn’t doubt that RI alone could fill their own class but if you can get one set up in Narragansett I’d register for it.

Just wanted to let you all know that I’m happy to host the course here in RI if there’s enough interest. The Narragansett Bay Research Reserve is part of the National Estarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) which is part of NOOA’s Office for Coastal Management. As a training program coordinator I have hosted several Digital Coast workshops, including Intro to Coastal GIS which was excellent. If there’s enough interest to hold the Coastal Inundation Mapping course in RI I can put in a request (I miagine there’s probably plenty of interest to at least meet the minimum of 12 participants). I can offer it at very low cost- $30 max. I’m just not sure of the timing at this point. They may be able to fit us in this fall; otherwise it would probably be early next year. Please let me know if this interests you. Thanks- Jen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jennifer West Coastal Training Program Coordinator Narragansett Bay Research Reserve 401-222-4700, x 7413 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> www.nbwctp.org<http://www.nbwctp.org/> From: Rhode Island Geographic Information System List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Erica Tefft Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2016 2:39 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Coastal Inundation Mapping Workshop, August 17-18, Groton, CT RIGIS-L, UConn CLEAR is hosting a 2-day Coastal Inundation Mapping workshop August 17-18 at our Avery Point campus in Groton, CT.
