GIS Day 2022 at Western University听
Last November, the 糖心直播 (UTRCA) participated in Western University鈥檚 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Day at the Western Libraries鈥� Open House event.听听
The day brought students, colleagues, and community leaders together to showcase the latest in GIS products and applications. UTRCA staff brought its interactive Augmented Reality Sandbox to teach attendees about the influence of topography on water flow across the landscape.听听
Craig Irwin, Water Quality Specialist with the UTRCA, gave a presentation titled 鈥淚ntegration of Field Maps and Survey123 for Agricultural Data Collection.鈥� He illustrated how GIS applications were used to collect information about farming practices as part of the ONFARM project. ONFARM is an applied research initiative which听supports soil health and water quality research on farms across Ontario. The data collection tool was utilized by five different conservation authorities as part of the collaborative project. His presentation was awarded a People鈥檚 Choice Award as voted on by his peers. Congratulations, Craig!听
This was the UTRCA鈥檚 fourth consecutive year participating in the event and we look forward to the next GIS Day on November 23, 2023.听
