PanGIS Press Spring 2020
PanGIS throughout San Diego County:
Community Involvement:
Coastal Clean-Up Ponto Beach, Carlsbad, CA
PanGIS staff came out in support of our waterways for the 35th annual Coastal Cleanup Day. In just three hours, more than 6,800 volunteers cleared nearly 145,000 pounds of debris from streets, canyons, parks, and the coastline in communities to make a positive impact on the entire region.
The day’s environmental protection effort took place at 108 sites around the region and prevented the equivalent of six garbage trucks emptying their contents into the ocean.
Continuing Education:
Senior Historian and Archaeologist, Doug Mengers earned a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Practice certificate from the University of California, San Diego Extension Program.
Industry Update:
Geospatial expert Alberto Foglia completed a 4-Day Photogrammetry Training in San Francisco. Cultural Heritage Imaging, a non-profit, offers a workshop that offers “Practical, Scientific Use of Photogrammetry in Cultural Heritage”.
Alberto’s coursework included in-depth lectures on the power of photogrammetry, how to acquire the highest quality photogrammetric image sets, method use grounded in measurement science, how to produce scientific 3D documentation with demonstrable accuracy, understanding rule-based methods that minimize and quantify measurement uncertainty, and how to create preservable photo archives of reliable 3D data.
