[gis_info] Join our SCGIS Online Workshops in June & July!

[Rebecca Degagne]

Hi everyone,

We're excited to announce three Society for Conservation GIS Online
Workshops <https://scgis.memberclicks.net/online-workshops> in June and
July!
These workshops are available to everyone, regardless of SCGIS conference
attendance, (though we'd love to see you at our upcoming in-person
conference <https://scgis.memberclicks.net/conference> June 30, 2025 - July
2, in West Virginia, USA). Workshop fees range from $15 - $50 USD for
students, SCGIS members, and non-members.

*Register here for online workshops!
<https://scgis.memberclicks.net/online-workshops> If you have questions,
please email conferencequestions at scgis.org <conferencequestions at scgis.org>.*


*Details below:*

Configuring ArcGIS Field Apps and Conservation Solutions, Friday June 13,
2025 | 11:00am - 3:00pm EST
Workshop description:
Join us to learn about ArcGIS field data collection and other fun apps like
ArcGIS Dashboard and ArcGIS Hub to connect to your stakeholders. You will
understand how to make and work with ArcGIS FieldMaps, ArcGIS Survey123,
and ArcGIS Quick Capture projects – Once we understand how each individual
app works, we are ready to explore the ArcGIS Conservation Solutions. We
will learn how to deploy and configure a Conservation Solution with a few
button clicks!

Spatial Data Fundamentals in R: From Import to Insight, Friday July 18,
2025 | 12:00pm - 3:00pm EST
Workshop description:
This workshop will cover the fundamentals of working with spatial data in
R. Topics will include how R can complement desktop GIS, R packages for
working with spatial data, importing vector spatial data from local and
online sources, common spatial data manipulations including managing
projections, working with attributes for querying and visualization,
geoprocessing operations, spatial queries and joins, and automation. Basic
visualization (i.e. mapping) will be presented but not in depth. R packages
used will include sf, dplyr, arcgislayers, and tmap. Best practices for
using GenAI coding tools will also be discussed.

Custom U.S. Geological Survey Topographic Maps On Demand – What’s New with
the topoBuilder Application, Friday July 25, 2025 | 3:00pm - 5:00pm EST
Workshop description:
Many remember U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) paper topographic maps with
nostalgia. In 2022, USGS launched the topoBuilder application, enabling
users to create customized topographic maps online using best available
data from The National Map (TNM). These digital topographic maps, called
OnDemand Topos, can be centered anywhere in the United States or
territories. Since its introduction, the topoBuilder application has been
enhanced with options including additional map scales (7.5-Minute and
1:100,000), customized layer display, and expanded export formats. This
presentation will demonstrate the topoBuilder application and OnDemand
Topos, while highlighting what is new and of particular interest to the
Conservation GIS user community.

We hope to see you soon, virtually or in-person!
