THE NASA GEOSPATIAL EXTENSION PROGRAM IN UTAH: LESSONS LEARNED AFTER THREE YEARS

OF EXPERIENCE

Dennis Wright, Program Coordinator

USU/NASA Affiliated Research Center

4140 Old Main Hill

Logan, UT 84321

Phone: (435)-797-0496

Dennis Wright is the program coordinator for the NASA Affiliated Research Center (ARC) at Utah State University, a project that researches

applications for remote sensing and GIS in Natural Resources and Agriculture. He also coordinates and supervises remote sensing and

extension projects for the Initiative for Future Agriculture and Food Systems (IFAFS) granted jointly by USDA and NASA. Dennis received a

B.A. in Geology with an emphasis in Hydrogeology Engineering and a Master’s Degree in Soil Science with an emphasis in Remote Sensing

and GIS at Utah State University.

Utah State University was chosen to house the first (prototype) NASA Earth Grant Geospatial Extension Specialist program in the world. This

land-grant/earth-grant Extension Specialist position was conceived to explore how best to meet the needs of farmers, ranchers, government

planners, and others needing remotely sensed, value-added information and data. The academic disciplines served by this program are

agriculture, natural resource management, city/county planning, and rural development. The program was designed to wed missions of

NASA’s Earth Science office with the existing infrastructure of the local county Cooperative Extension Agents. Cooperative Extension is a

partnership among the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service, state land-grant

universities, and state and county governments. The power of the system rests in the partnership. The key point of contact with the public is

through local County Extension Agents, who are supported by trained Ph.D.-level Extension Specialists in critical disciplines such as the

various specialties of engineering and science. Dr. V. Philip Rasmussen, a professor and administrator at Utah State University, was appointed

as the first NASA Geospatial Extension Specialist of the United States in October 1999. The position was funded by NASA Space Grant and

the Cooperative Extension program at Utah State University. The prototype program has trained county agents from around the nation in

GIS/GPS; provided K-12 educational support including Robert Bennett’s “One Orbit Around Utah”; created GIS CDs for Utah counties; and

initiated original research exploring the usefulness of remote sensing to detect nitrogen and water stress in wheat.

COLORADO PLATEAU

Pete Kilbourne, Forest Service, Manti-La Sal National Forest

Dave Vincent, USGS

Cindy Clark, AGRC

The Colorado Plateau panel will be presenting information on the mission of he group, and the upcoming workshop that will be held October

21 and 22. There will be discussion on where this group fits into the National Spatial Data Infrastructure as well as other organizations, such

as state coordinating councils, tribal councils, and the Colorado Plateau Forum. They will talk about links between DOI high priority and the

Colorado Plateau group. Activities and accomplishments will be discussed, namely on the progress on the ownership and boundary data

evaluation project, and other data integration projects. Other topics that will be addressed are lessons earned, institutional barriers, mindsets,

and liability.

Introduction to ArcGIS 8.3

Presented by Jay Bohac, ESRI

Learn what’s coming with ArcGIS 8.3. The workshop will cover

what’s new in the next release, particularly the new topology

model used with an enterprise geodatabase. Topology in the

geodatabase model offers a more flexible environment along with

the ability to define and apply a wider set of integrity rules and

constraints. The presentation will include discussion and

demonstration of the following:

Advanced Editing Tools

Topology Model

COGO Tools

Disconnected Editing

Linear Referencing Tools

Overview of ArcGIS Extensions

Presented by Bryan Dickerson, ESRI

Learn about the extensions for ArcGIS, what they do and how

they can help you with your GIS analysis. The following ArcGIS

Extension products add specialized tools and functionality to

ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo. This 1/2 day workshop will

focus on the three main extensions to ArcGIS at 8.2: Spatial

Analyst, 3D Analyst, and GeoStatistical Analyst. Topics covered

will be basic functionality of each and tips and tricks associated

with using each of these extensions.

receivers. The class will consist of the following agenda:

Bring your own GPS receivers if you have them.

GPS Operation, satellites, accuracy, PDOP, differential

correction

Planning Software - Quickplan - Knowing where the

satellites are during your work day

Creating and editing a data dictionary in Pathfinder

Office Software and transfer to data collector

ANNOTATION PLACEMENT WORKSHOP (BEGINNER LEVEL)

Herb Bargoot, Digital Anno

303- 748-8295 Herb@digitalanno.com

Did you Know there are over 30 technical papers dealing with bugs producing annotation using ESRI new Arc 8.2 product attend the seminar

and get a free CD with all the tech documents and other tips for producing annotation.

A major bottleneck in producing high quality electronic or paper maps is creating the annotation layers. The annotation produced by most in

house software, as well as industry standard software such as ArcInfo, Arcview, ArcPlot, ArcTools and ArcMap can require extensive editing to

meet professional standards

This one-hour seminar will introduce you to the concepts of text placement, tools for text placement in Arcmap 8.2, scaling and text

placement and publishing standards. We will cover issues associated with Arcmap template files and plotting to scale, four-color printing and

ways to better use the annotation routines in Arcmap.

CITIPIXTM-ONLINE: THE NEW ON-LINE IMAGE DELIVERY SYSTEM UTILIZING ARCIMS TO

ARCVIEW AND ARCGIS THROUGH THE ESRI GEOGRAPHY NETWORK

Konrad Fry has spent over seven years in the remote sensing industry starting with EOSAT as Western Region Manager for Landsat and IRS- 1C data sales and channel management. After the merger with Space Imaging in 1996, he was promoted to Manager of Canada and Latin

American Sales for Space Imaging. This entailed channel management of satellite data sales and ground station reception contracts. In 1999 he

was promoted to Manger of International Sales for the IKONOS satellite, Landsat and IRS satellites for a Worldwide territory. Currently, he is

the Western Region Manager for Eastman Kodak’s KGI/Citipix program.

Throughout the entire history of remote sensing, image data users have tried to obtain their data as quickly as possible because of the

impending deadline of mapping projects. The delays caused by the process of obtaining ortho photography and satellite imagery has been a

major setback to completing any mapping project on time for major decisions to be made from the resulting maps and GIS databases. These

problems are specific to the type of imagery. Aerial orthophotos are difficult to produce (weather, sun angles, flight availability) and take a long

time to be delivered, some projects are six to eight months in duration. Satellite data is not as accurate as aerial data and while more easily

produced, are fraught with potential problems in cloud cover. All these problems extend the ultimate delivery of the image.

Since the image is the beginning point of a GIS project, it is to everyone’s benefit to get it faster than the traditional methods. Kodak Global

Imaging division of Eastman Kodak has invested in a new system of data capture that is to a national specification of data quality over all

major urbanized areas. The Citipixtm data is the first 6", color, cloud free archive of true ortho aerial photography that is available on-line via

the internet, of the major USA cities, ever. The delivery system is through the internet using ESRI’s ARCIMS server technology into

ARCView and ARCGIS software systems. This system eliminate the need to wait for the base map imagery and allows GIS users to spend

more energy using the data to produce the maps vital to their planning.
