The USGS SRV team responded quickly to produce detailed maps from geospatial information to assist in recovery efforts. Over 100 field maps were produced, which enabled the NPS to find the missing man and rescue him on May 25.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The USGS SRV team consisted of team leader Stephen Hartley along with geographers Gene Nelson and Bill Jones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Accurate maps are essential in search and rescue efforts," said Leslie Velarde, NPS Information Officer. "In this case it proved to be an invaluable asset for the success of the operation."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The USGS was relieved at the positive outcome and proud that our SRV team contributed to the rescue," said Marcia McNutt, USGS Director. "In many instances during the past year we have been called upon to contribute geospatial data and expertise to analyze it in times of crisis."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The SRV was first used during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to map 911 rescue calls and critical infrastructure, such as levee breaks, bridges and pumping stations; and for performing water-quality sampling at sites along Lake Pontchartrain. The vehicle has been deployed multiple times since then, most recently during the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It's incredible how much geospatial technology is now being used in search and rescue missions," said USGS SRV team member, Bill Jones. "The acceptance of the technology has greatly increased since Hurricane Katrina." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The SRV is ready to be deployed at any time, especially during hurricane season when it may get called into service repeatedly for Federal, State or local response efforts. The SRV is equipped with computers, software, and plotters to provide spatial analyses during and after natural or man-made disasters.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To learn more about the USGS Science Response Vehicle visit the USGS National Wetlands Research Center &lt;a href="http://www.nwrc.usgs.gov/hurricane/srv/srv.htm"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=2814"&gt;U.S. Geological Survey&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3523388342113148717-3527404166650455321?l=ernestogiron.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/egiron/~3/rg2cfBg29J0/usgs-helps-find-colombian-educator-lost.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ernesto Giron)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://ernestogiron.blogspot.com/2011/05/usgs-helps-find-colombian-educator-lost.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523388342113148717.post-6296322406128440319</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 May 2011 17:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-05-04T12:28:55.783-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LandSat</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">DOI</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">NASA World Wind</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Climate Change</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Imagenes</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Web Mapping</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">USGS</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ESRI</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ArcGIS online</category><title>Servicio en línea gratuito permite agregar datos Landsat a cualquier proyecto</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;ESRI en estrecha colaboración con el Departamento del Interior de los Estados Unidos (DOI) han puesto a disposición del público en general el &lt;a href="http://www.esri.com/landsat-imagery/index.html"&gt;servicio de Imágenes Landsat&lt;/a&gt;.

Estos dispositivos que cuentan con tecnología de GPS también permitirán ubicar las coordenadas exactas de cada uno de los negocios o instituciones. En este trabajo de campo, se emplearán 250 personas que se distribuidas en 107.175 manzanas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;“De acuerdo a lo proyectado, se espera llegar a más de 460 mil establecimientos comerciales de los estratos 1 al 6”, indicó, Ana María Uribe, gerente de unidad de negocio, Sitimark.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;Con esta evaluación comercial, los empresarios mejorarán la información que tienen de su mercado y sus canales de distribución. Además, las compañías que hagan parte de este proyecto podrán incluir sus propias preguntas para entender mejor los detalles importantes para su negocio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;La información recolectada contribuye a ubicar geográficamente prospectos de clientes y realizar proyecciones de consumo y demanda, convirtiéndose en nuevas oportunidades de negocios al planear acertadamente para optimizar recursos, incrementar cobertura y lograr mayores ventas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;La información que se recolectará:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;La encuesta incluye características del establecimiento como son: tamaño aproximado, cajas registradoras, número de empleados, categorías de productos, y cantidad de góndolas, esta última solo aplicada al canal de supermercados. La información que se recolecta depende del tipo de establecimiento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;Adicionalmente hay módulos de encuesta especializados, que las marcas asociadas a Servinformación pueden incluir. Es decir que el cliente puede indagar más a fondo en sus intereses particulares: si hay presencia propia o de la competencia e identificar el establecimiento que vende más un determinado producto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;La clasificación de la información, permitirá a los usuarios del servicio segmentar los establecimientos y poder diseñar estrategias de cobertura acordes a sus necesidades comerciales ya que el objetivo principal de Infocomercio, es que sus clientes puedan conocer y ubicar su mercado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;Como en las ediciones, anteriores, en esta cuarta edición, los empresarios y público en general, podrán conocer de primera mano las tendencias del mercado y saber cuáles son los establecimientos y negocios que más han evolucionado en los últimos años y que son un soporte importante en la economía nacional, local y regional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.radiosantafe.com/2011/03/01/inicia-censo-de-comercio-en-colombia/"&gt;Radio Santafe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3523388342113148717-6810824808603771774?l=ernestogiron.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/egiron/~3/3UkB_HDQEnA/inicia-censo-de-comercio-en-colombia.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ernesto Giron)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://ernestogiron.blogspot.com/2011/04/inicia-censo-de-comercio-en-colombia.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523388342113148717.post-9068066058671473289</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 Apr 2011 16:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-04-10T11:46:22.700-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">GIS</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ERP</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">CRM</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">SIG</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ESRI</category><title>Un estudio de Esri asegura que ha aumentado la integración de los sistemas SIG con otros sistemas corporativos</title><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;Los datos extraídos de la Consulta Esri, realizada recientemente por Esri España, demuestran que se ha producido un incremento en la aplicación de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) en los sectores de Urbanismo y Catastro (56%) y Geomarketing (33%). Los datos obtenidos amplían así el abanico de entornos de aplicación, liderado por Medio Ambiente y la Gestión de Recursos Naturales, áreas en las que los SIG suponen una parte importante de los proyectos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;En cuanto a las mejoras que se obtienen con el empleo de la tecnología SIG en las organizaciones, cerca de un 70% de los consultados afirma que aporta un valor muy importante en la toma de decisiones. Además, un 63% reconoce alcanzar una mayor eficiencia, reduciendo de forma significativa el tiempo y los recursos empleados en la tarea crítica. Más de la mitad de los encuestados opinan también que el uso del SIG aumenta la fiabilidad de los resultados y la capacidad de control. Sobre la posibilidad de incorporar la tecnología SIG a nuevas áreas de la empresa, un 33% afirmó tener previsto acometer esta inversión antes de un año, elevándose hasta el 40% los que desean incorporar esta tecnología en el plazo máximo de dos años. El 22% restante asegura que incorporará la tecnología SIG a nuevas áreas antes de seis meses. En cuanto a las novedades tecnológicas en las que el SIG tendrá un papel destacado en los próximos años, el 61% de los consultados apuesta por la interoperabilidad, el desarrollo de dispositivos móviles (54%) y Cloud Computing (26%). En la misma línea, el 60% de la muestra cree que los factores clave del desarrollo dentro del sector SIG en los próximos tres años serán la innovación tecnológica y la normalización de la información disponible, así como la disponibilidad de contenidos digitales. El 50% opina, además, que las tendencias apuntarán a la involucración de la Administración como proveedor de información. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;Por último, la consulta registra también los importantes avances en materia de integración con otros sistemas corporativos, ya que un 12,5% de las empresas señala que su aplicación SIG está integrada con plataformas Business Intelligent, un 10,4% con CRM y otro 10,4% con ERP. La encuesta se ha realizado a medio centenar de empresas usuarias de la tecnología SIG que abarcan los siguientes sectores: Recursos Naturales (31,4%), Servicios Públicos (17,6%), Producción Cartográfica (15,7%), Educación (11,8%), Transporte y Logística (9,8%), Salud y Servicios sociales (7,8%), Telco y Utilities (2%), Defensa e Inteligencia (2%) y Seguridad y Emergencias (2%).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "&gt;&lt;strong style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h1 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; font-size: small; font-family: Arial, Verdana, serif; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "&gt;&lt;strong style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Acerca de Esri España&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(92, 92, 92); font-family: Arial, Verdana, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; "&gt;&lt;strong style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.geospatialworld.net/images/newsimages/EsriSpain.gif" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 100px; height: 22px;" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(92, 92, 92); font-family: Arial, Verdana, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; "&gt; &lt;strong style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Esri España&lt;/strong&gt; tiene como misión contribuir al desarrollo de las organizaciones, aportando productos y servicios de calidad e innovadores, con el fin de facilitarles el trabajo diario con la información, permitirles generar conocimiento y ayudarles a tomar mejores decisiones.

Delegates from 13 South American countries agreed on the need for coordinated efforts to provide better meteorological and hydrological services in the region, as well as more accurate climate products to better understand climate variability and climate change and cope with its increasing impacts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further Info: &lt;a href="http://www.wmo.int/pages/mediacentre/press_releases/pr_899_en.html"&gt;WMO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3523388342113148717-6542368293874630772?l=ernestogiron.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/egiron/~3/YJvUt6lwSgY/wmo-south-american-regional-association.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ernesto Giron)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://ernestogiron.blogspot.com/2010/11/wmo-south-american-regional-association.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523388342113148717.post-2829947706122563409</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Nov 2010 14:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-02T09:26:41.105-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">FIG</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Catastro</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Surveying</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Agrimensura</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Geomática</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Topografía</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Geodesia</category><title>Building a Regional Structure for the Surveying Profession in Latin America</title><description>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Construcción de una estructura regional para la profesión de Topografía en América.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El tema del XI Congreso Internacional sonstenido en San José de Costa Rica, del 17 al 19 de Septiembre de 2010, fue "La Geomática: tendencias actuales en Geodesia, Topografía y Catastro", que refleja los retos actuales y oportunidades enfrentados por la profesión, no sólo en Costa Rica, sino también en la región. La formación de APPA (Asociación Panamericana de Profesionales en Agrimensura) fue un aspecto relevante y también representó la culminación de los esfuerzos de FIG por más de diez años para movilizar la profesión topográfica dentro de América Latina. FIG se ha comprometido a trabajar con esta nueva estructura regional para desarrollar y avanzar la profesión en las Américas. Una gran oportunidad en este sentido será la Conferencia Regional de FIG la cual es probable que se celebre en Montevideo, Uruguay, a finales de 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.fig.net/news/news_2010/costarica_september_2010.htm"&gt;Federación Internacional de Agrimensores - FIG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3523388342113148717-2829947706122563409?l=ernestogiron.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/egiron/~3/6lcvz2C5uvA/building-regional-structure-for.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ernesto Giron)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://ernestogiron.blogspot.com/2010/11/building-regional-structure-for.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523388342113148717.post-7698169770984325717</guid><pubDate>Sat, 30 Oct 2010 15:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-10-30T10:26:13.585-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">GIS</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Geoespacial Revolution</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">NSGIC</category><title>The Geospatial Revolution</title><description>Interesting point of view from Peter B.

On 14 October 2010, the radar satellite TanDEM-X moved into close formation with its 'twin', TerraSAR-X. Before this, the two satellites were orbiting 20 kilometres apart - a flight time of almost three seconds. Now, there are only 350 metres separating the pair, which means their antennas are able to acquire radar images of the same area simultaneously. The objective of the mission is to create a high-precision, three-dimensional digital elevation model of Earth's land surface. The project needs the satellites to operate in parallel for a period of three years. The transition to close formation flight marks the beginning of the final preparatory stage of the TanDEM-X mission. The routine operations phase is due to start in early January next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;further info: &lt;a href="http://www.dlr.de/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-1/117_read-27086/"&gt;TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X flying in close formation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3523388342113148717-6407863565723829204?l=ernestogiron.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/egiron/~3/qo2IXo98qrk/three-dimensional-map-of-world-using.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ernesto Giron)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://ernestogiron.blogspot.com/2010/10/three-dimensional-map-of-world-using.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523388342113148717.post-3327423680119366519</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 May 2010 14:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-24T09:38:10.725-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Pucallpa</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ArcGIS Explorer</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ArcGIS Server</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Developer Summit</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LandUse</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ArcGIS online</category><title>ArcGIS Explorer Online</title><description>Se ha liberado la nueva versión de ArcGIS Explorer en línea.&lt;br /&gt;Tiene muchas de las opciones creadas en la versión de escritorio pero con muchas mejoras por realizar como el modo 3D, los servicios de geo-procesamiento, personalización y algunas otras menos importes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En general es un gran trabajo que han realizado las personas de ESRI y un gran esfuerzo hecho por tener algo con tan buena acogida como Google Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Algunos de los resultados obtenidos  en menos de 5 minutos con información disponible en la web se muestran en la siguiente imagen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yaOaZdWSiwA/S_qNAUN2adI/AAAAAAAAAIY/GQeSUbsA5As/s1600/AGExplorerOnline_Pucallpa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 223px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yaOaZdWSiwA/S_qNAUN2adI/AAAAAAAAAIY/GQeSUbsA5As/s320/AGExplorerOnline_Pucallpa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474843333588576722" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si deseas saber más acerca de esta potente herramienta en línea puedes visitar el sitio &lt;a href="http://explorer.arcgis.com/"&gt;http://explorer.arcgis.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De igual modo puedes ver las nuevas características de ArcGIS en línea tomando un tour u observando el &lt;a href="http://www.esri.com/events/devsummit/videos/video3.html"&gt;video de la presentación&lt;/a&gt; de Jeremy Bartley en la plenaria de Programadores de ESRI.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3523388342113148717-3327423680119366519?l=ernestogiron.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/egiron/~3/3fqSsqRYrbg/arcgis-explorer-online.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ernesto Giron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yaOaZdWSiwA/S_qNAUN2adI/AAAAAAAAAIY/GQeSUbsA5As/s72-c/AGExplorerOnline_Pucallpa.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://ernestogiron.blogspot.com/2010/05/arcgis-explorer-online.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523388342113148717.post-1892045504631244078</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Apr 2010 15:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-05T10:25:24.145-05:00</atom:updated><title>2010 Mashup Challenge winners announced</title><description>California, US: ESRI announced the result of Mashup Challenge 2010. Dave Bouwman, CTO and lead software architect at DTSAgile of Fort Collins, Colorado, won the top prize of USD 10,000 with Executive Compensation Mashup, which compares top US executive salaries with the total income for selected counties in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The geodeveloper community's strong response to the ESRI 2010 Mashup Challenge created a quandary for the jury. "I was really impressed with the creativity and quality of all the applications that were submitted. It was difficult for us to choose the top four entries. This is a testimony to the immense possibilities afforded by the new ESRI Web APIs and the freely available ArcGIS Online content, said says Michael Gould, ESRI's director of education for industry solutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guidelines for the challenge were to build a mashup using ESRI's ArcGIS Online content and Web APIs, publish the related URL and post a video describing the application on YouTube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Bradshaw, owner of DB MediaStudio, Springville, Utah, won second prize and USD 5,000 with Fluttr: The Human Story in Realtime, a mashup that automatically populates an international map with live feeds from Twitter, Flickr and YouTube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Laudon, of LaudonTech in Surrey, Canada, took the third prize and USD 2,500 for Floor Plan Mapping, an interactive building floor plan with employee search capabilities including a brief employee biography.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ernesto Giron, GIS senior analyst for the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture in Cali, Colombia, won fourth prize and USD 2,500 for Drought Timing for Agronomic Screening.
