-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Forest Service Geospatial Portal Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 15:36:03 -0600 From: Moffitt, Nellie S CIV CNI MILL DET, N220L <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> All -- As the holiday season unfolds, we thought we'd bring you up to date on the Forest Service Geospatial Portal (FSGeoportal). In November we added a feature showing the (very) wide variety of Forest Service maps found on the World Wide Web (static maps), and a 'canned' link to USAJOBs that searches for all geospatial jobs posted at the GS-7 through 15 levels. There are literally thousands of FS maps on the web (fire progression, winter recreation, forest plan alternatives, land exchanges--you name it). And there are often scores of geospatial jobs on USAJOBS--some quite interesting (location wise...). Other noteworthy content includes information about the joint FS/BLM Geospatial Conference set for May 2007 in Portland, OR, and the recently released FS ESRI Image Server client supported by the Remote Sensing Applications Center and the Geospatial Service and Technology Center. By late December we plan to offer a way for users to comment directly on the content and functionality of the portal. Input--comments, suggestions, ratings, etc.--will de displayed for all to see. Let us know what needs improvement. http://fsweb.geoportal.fs.fed.us/ Barry Napier Deputy Manager USDA Forest Service Geospatial Service and Technology Center 2222 W 2300 S Salt Lake City, UT 84119 801-975-3498(v) 801-975-3478(f)
