Geodesign San Diego:

It's National GIS Day!   Maps are Cool.
 
GIS Day provides an international forum for users of geographic information systems (GIS) technology to demonstrate real-world applications that are making a difference in our society.

 

Join us for a Reception of Map Heads
and a presentation on:
 

"Mapping Optimal Sites for  

Renewable Energy Development"

The GENI initiative focuses on the interconnection of electric networks
 between nations and tapping abundant renewable energy. The challenge for planners and renewable developers in design and build in the best place for energy production while minimizes costs and environmental impact. 

This new GIS mapping tool enables decision-makers to identify optimal renewable locations and use key variables sliders to narrow the search: renewable potential, access to transmission, distance to load centers

 
Date:  Wednesday, Nov 18
Time: 6 - 8 pm
Location: World Resources SimCenter
1088 Third Ave. San Diego CA 92101 
 
Suggested Donation: $10
(to cover drinks/appetizers) 

   

 

Geodesign San Diego is a meetup for the GIS community to advance mapping knowledge, share projects and learn how to use open source tools and data sets.

We invite you to join us, bring your computers, experience, challenges and use the World Resources Simulation Center to surround you in your passion.

"The SIMCenter is the best public venue in San Diego to visualize options, share detailed maps and have your guests experience why geography matters."  

   

 

Guest Presentor: Arnaud Vedy
Arnaud is a graduate student in GIS, a researcher at the Center for Information Convergence and Strategy at SDSU, and a GIS consultant for GENI and the SIMCenter. Back in France, where he is originally from, Arnaud graduated in Geography with honors. He is now working on his Masters thesis, in which he investigates road infrastructures as an indicator of human and economic development at a world scale.
 
Aside from his academic activity, Arnaud became a volunteer at GENI with the aim to participate to one of the organization's mission: accelerating the transition to clean energy. In order to do so, he recently started to work on a new kind of renewable energy visualization tool, which will be introduced and showcased during the evening.
