Successful gIS day at cabrillo college!
The Central Coast Joint Data Committee and Cabrillo College organized a successful GIS Day celebration on November 13, 2019! Over 70 students, professionals, and GIS enthusiasts gathered at Cabrillo College's Community Building to learn about geospatial technology and GIS research happening throughout California's Central Coast region. Speakers from USGS, NOAA, County of Santa Cruz, Google Earth, and 2NDNATURE covered topics ranging from California's volcano risk, to recent seafloor discoveries, and how spatial thinking can empower people to make better decisions. Attendees were treated to a gallery of maps and posters from local cartographers, opportunities to network and learn about careers in GIS, as well as a raffle for GIS software provided by ESRI. The event was made possible with generous funding from the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), the American Public Works Association (APWA), and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG). Based on the success of GIS Day 2019, CCJDC plans to repeat the event in 2020.
