NEW WEBINAR JUST ADDED!

Using and Adding Your Content to Google Ocean by Charlotte Vick, Google
Content Manager of Mission Blue (April 27, 2-3:30 pm US EDT/11 am-12:30
pm PDT).  The webinar will provide a non-technical general overview of
the ocean layer of Google Earth 5.0 "Google Ocean" and its current
content and will also provide information on how to add your own content
(text, images, video, etc.) to the site.  We would like this webinar to
get attendees using Google Ocean as much as possible, so we strongly
encourage all participants to have Google Earth 5.0 downloaded and
running on their computer prior to the webinar and to register as early
as possible.  Once you have registered for the webinar, you will be
registered for access to The Deepness.org website (a portal for
uploading content to Google Ocean).  If you are interested in adding
content to the site, please try to log in to The Deepness site before
the webinar.  Learn more about Google Ocean at 
http://earth.google.com/ocean.  Register for this webinar at 
https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/914642472.  Please note, this
webinar will be 1.5 hrs in length to allow ample time for questions from
participants.

OTHER REMAINING WEBINARS IN THE SERIES:

Advanced Mashups - KML and the Mapping API by Cary Chadwick of the
University of Connecticut Center for Land Use Education and Research
(April 14, 2-3:30 pm US EDT/11 am-12:30 pm US PDT).  This webinar will
cover the basics of Keyhole Markup Language (KML) and advanced mashup
applications using a mapping Application Programming Interface (API).
Mapping APIs to be discussed include the Google Maps API and the Google
Earth API. Through both discussion and demonstration, this webinar will
showcase methods for creating and editing KML, converting GIS data to
KML and techniques for building simple Google mapping applications for
the web using a mapping API. Additional information on these and other
techniques for putting maps and geographic information on the web is
available from UCONN's Center for Land Use Education and Research
(CLEAR) Maps on the Web website: http://clear.uconn.edu/training/maps.

>From ArcGIS to Web Maps: Techniques for Publishing GIS Maps Online by
Emily Wilson of the University of Connecticut Center for Land Use
Education and Research (April 22, 2-3:30 pm US EDT/11 am-12:30 pm US
PDT).  There are a variety of ways to serve maps and geospatial
information on the web, and they range from the very simple to the
advanced.  This webinar will cover a variety of simple tools for putting
static maps on the web.  The webinar will start with the very basic
technique of screen captures and pdfs and move to other useful tools
such as the mapbook tool for ArcMap, the image mapper tool for ArcMap
and, finally, geographically enabled pdfs.  Attendees will not likely
use all the tools presented, but may find one or two to be the perfect
solution.  Each tool will be explained, and sample output will be shown.
This webinar is co-hosted by the EBM Tools Network, the University of
New Hampshire Cooperative Extension, and the University of Connecticut
Center for Land Use Education and Research.  Register for this webinar
