WELCOME ! |
|
Welcome to the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity
Geographic Information website. The primary purpose of the site is to
assist UWGB faculty, students and staff who are interested in applying
geospatial technology to the study of biological diversity. The site is
also intended to facilitate our frequent collaborations with GIS users
across the campus and in the community at-large.

What's New? |

Spring, 2010 - Learning How To Improve GPS Accuracy -
The Biodiversity Center is currently trying out Trimble®
Planning Utility for forecasting GPS conditions. The stormwater mapping work being done by Jill Fermanich was chosen
as a test project. Jill is utilizing submeter GPS equipment and methods for the project. Being able to predict
and work around periods of poor GPS performance should mean that more of the data she collects will wind up being useable. |
February 22, 2010 - Website Update -
The version of the site that you are seeing
represents a fairly extensive reorganization. Like earlier versions it is full
of holes and links that don't go anywhere. I felt it was appropriate
to rush it out because it contains some elements that people are looking for:
- UWGB's user resources are now separate from external resources
- Menus have been cleaned up and "Help Topics" is now a separate section
- A calendar has been added
- A format for reporting and archiving project milestones has been chosen
Users have complained about things moving around on the site - they
get accustomed to the location of a favorite tool and then have to hunt it down
again. I promise no more big "upgrades" until summer. For now I will concentrate
on housekeeping and filling in the content gaps - Mike Stiefvater
