We are happy to announce that the Community of Practice on everything map & GIS related is back this Fall for the 2023/2024 school year! We are collecting maps and friends alike to reinvigorate our community. 

Susan Powell, Alex Brown and Tyler Marino, in collaboration with guest speaker Nico Tripcevich, will provide key information on the Community of Practice as well as mapping methods and strategies for fire evacuation. Nico will demo a digital mapping application based on the historic 1923 Berkeley fire that destroyed 640 structures just north of campus.

We cannot wait to see everyone there and talk maps!

The GIS & Mapping Community of Practice is an informal meetup that offers participants an opportunity to get to know other people using mapping tools and techniques across campus, regardless of discipline. Whether you're just getting started exploring GIS & Mapping or a seasoned pro (or anywhere in between!), all are welcome to participate in the GIS & Mapping Community of Practice. Bring your questions and get excited to meet fellow mappers!

Location information: We'll gather on the 5th floor balcony of McCone Hall. This is an outdoor location and can be sunny in the afternoon.

Note: This event starts on Berkeley time, at roughly 10 past the hour.
