Form for BIA (GDSC or NGRC) ESRI Software License Update

Last Updated on Thursday, 20 November 2008 10:25

Grant Timentwa posted a revised ESRI GIS User Audit Form on Friday, November 7th to the Northwest Tribal GIS User's Group with a request to disseminate it to as many people as possible. With his permission, the document is dowloadable below. His message includes this note: "..a revised ESRI GIS User Audit Form from the NGRC. They want you to have each person who uses GIS in your organization to fill one of these out before you get ArcGIS 9.3. I created input forms on the PDF file so you can type in rather than handwrite... Please disseminate to as many people as you can."

"The official word from the NGRC is to use this document and use the old order forms on the NGRC site if you want 9.3. The document isn't linked or posted on the NGRC website."

Please download and complete this form if you currently use any ESRI Software License attained from the BIA from the BIA ESRI License Agreement Program.  Your license is considered to be from the BIA ESRI License Agreement Program if it was given to you by the Geographic Data Service Center (GDSC) or the National Geospatial Resource Center (NGRC).  Please print and fax completed form to the NGRC at 505-563-5059. Again, http://www.esri.com/industries/federal/bia

For additional questions, please contact NGRC at 877-293-9494 or Fax: 505-563-5059

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Use USGS Funds for LIDAR Dataset Processing

Last Updated on Thursday, 30 October 2008 10:41

The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla (CTUIR) received approximately $58,000 in funding from the U. S. Geological Survey to process Light Detection And Ranging (Lidar) data and create a dataset that would span the mainstem of the Umatilla River, approximately 90 miles. This dataset will be incorporated into the National Elevation Dataset (http://ned.usgs.gov/) and be available through The National Map (http://nationalmap.gov/).



The LIDAR data will be used by the CTUIR and others to increase their understanding of the thermal and geomorphic dynamics of the Umatilla River in order to address water quality and endangered fisheries issues. This data will improve the CTUIR understanding of the relevance of flooding in creating and maintaining habitats critical for native aquatic organisms. It will also be a fundamental part of the modeling framework for temperature and total daily maximum load of pollutants for the Umatilla River as it flows through the Umatilla Indian Reservation.

The Chris English National Map Challenge

Last Updated on Thursday, 30 October 2008 10:11

(You may circulate this challenge as wide as you wish )

The National Map, its data, and the software hosting its
interface will be the foundation of the Department of Interior
(DOI)/Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Enterprise GIS. Emergency
Incident Information Technology/GIS is testing thin clients for
all incident computing. The vision for map data is using
consistent national data sets.
