At The Waters Edge: Conservation GIS for a Blue Planet

As the SCGIS community gathers at the edge of the Pacific Ocean in Monterey, California for our 30th anniversary conference, we celebrate the power of GIS to help understand, manage, restore, and protect every form of water on our blue Planet. From rivers to oceans, watersheds to aquifers, fog, rain and snow, permafrost and glaciers, vernal pools, and lakes – it is water in liquid, solid, and gas form that shapes and sustains our living planet. Join us as we explore, share and learn innovative GIS solutions from around the world for respecting and conserving our blue planet and the astonishing diversity of life it supports.
