2018 GIS in Conservation: Utah and Colorado Water ResourcesGIS in the Rockies
Since the completion of the Flaming Gorge Dam in 1964, artificial flow releases along the Green River have promoted channel narrowing and encouraged non-native vegetation encroachment into the active stream channel. These changes in the Green River’s flow regime have reduced the backwater habitat of four native endangered fish species: the Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus lucius), Razorback Sucker (Xyrauchen texanus), Humpback Chub (Gila cypha), and Bonytail (Gila elegans). To promote population recovery, this project developed the River Morphology Evaluation Toolbox (RMET), a Google Earth Engine (GEE) tool, to more efficiently and cost-effectively monitor changes in vegetation and hydrology across large spatial and temporal scales. Using imagery collected from Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM), Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS), Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and Sentinel-2 Multispectral Instrument (MSI) satellites, the team used the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI), modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI), and normalized difference water index (NDWI) to detect landcover changes. Trends in spectral index changes over user-selected focal years and the magnitudes of those changes were isolated and visualized through RMET. The project partners at the National Park Service and the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program will use RMET to identify potential sites where changes in riparian vegetation and the active stream channel may have reduced fish habitat to make more informed recommendations for flow releases from the Flaming Gorge Dam.

Few brands stir as much passion and connection as spirits brands. These brands evoke memories, prompt good times, and live in moments of connection, and they have for hundreds of years. Today, the biggest and most compelling advances in technology are falling directly into the world of spirits brands, as people become more connected to information, content, and (most importantly) one another. This session will explore how successful spirits brands like Jim Beam and Maker's Mark are using digital to build connected brands -- or closer relationships with their audiences. This session explored: The last call: What are some of the marketing methods that brands need to move away from? The next round: How are innovators using digital to build connected brands? What mix of strategy, technology, and media is correct? For more information please visit www.icrossing.com.
Incorporating Mobile Into Your Digital Experience Strategyrivetlogic
Mobile web traffic continues to increase and in some cases is surpassing that of desktops. And from 2013 to 2014, mobile app usage saw an astounding 52% increase compared to just a 1% increase with desktops. With facts like these, it’s apparent that businesses can no longer afford to ignore their mobile experience.
Whether your audience is spending just a few minutes checking on the status of an order or watching streaming media for hours on their mobile device, it all plays a part in the overall customer experience journey they have with your business.

The Clean Power Plan and CHP: How Combined Heat and Power can help Ohio achie...Ohio Environmental Council
On August 3, 2015 the US EPA finalized the Clean Power Plan (CPP), which requires states to reduce carbon emissions from power plants using a variety of strategies, including Combined Heat and Power (CHP). The US EPA gave states a great amount of flexibility in how to meet carbon reduction goals, creating an opportunity for the state to take advantage of Ohio's great CHP potential.
As Ohio moves forward with developing a state plan, this webinar will examine precisely how the Clean Power Plan treats CHP and what options the state has to include CHP as a carbon-reducing strategy. Webinar participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of presenters and review presentation materials after the conclusion of the webinar.
In September 2013, a group of scientists and specialists came together under the 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement’s Nutrient Annex 4 Objectives and Targets Task Team to determine how much phosphorus reduction is necessary to restore Lake Erie’s water quality, reduce the occurrences harmful algal blooms in western Lake Erie, as well as the extent of the central basin’s hypoxic zone.
The Annex 4 task team released their report in late June 2015 and Dr. Jeffery Reutter, task team co-chair, will present the group’s findings and what it means to the lake if the loading and concentration targets are met.
Santina Wortman, an official from the U.S. EPA Region 5 office will also be on hand to answer questions and explain next steps for the agency.
Recently, Dayton Power & Light (DP&L) launched a CHP-specific incentive under the electric utility’s custom rebate program, per the policy established by Governor Kasich’s 21st Century Energy Initiative (Ohio Senate Bill 315). This presentation features DP&L energy efficiency program staff who provide details on the program incentive that is available to customers of Dayton Power & Light. Additionally, facilitators of the Ohio Coalition for Combined Heat and Power provide a state policy update.
Over 1,000 fracking wells have been drilled in Ohio in the past three years. W have seen numerous accidents associated with fracking in Ohio including a chemical fire and release, earthquakes, fires, and explosions. Still, there has been no assessment of the current or expected health impacts from fracking in our state, and little to no training for medical professionals and emergency responders.
The meeting with Southwest Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project was a forum to begin a dialogue about the health impacts associated with fracking.
Scientists have identified this commonly used sealcoat as a major source of dangerous chemicals in streams and lakes, and as a significant health risk to the public, especially young children. These chemicals, which will are discussed in depth in the webinar, are found in the sediments of nearby lakes and streams from pavements coated with this type of product.
Our expert speaker is Dr. Barbara Mahler, a Research Hydrologist with the USGS at the Texas Water Science Center. She is part of the Contaminant Trends in Lake Sediments (CTLS) team, which uses cores of sediments from lakes to reconstruct the contaminant histories of watersheds.
Toxic chemicals can be found in ALL of our homes – in things like our couches, on our clothes, and in food and personal care products like shampoo. These chemicals make their way into our bodies and have long term health impacts (cancer, infertility, learning disabilities in children, etc).
Right now there is a bill in Congress which would takes us backwards in our federal regulation of toxic chemicals. It is called the Chemicals in Commerce Act (CICA). CICA includes sweeping state preemption language which would overturn some of our important legislative progress in Ohio. The bill is unanimously opposed by the environmental and public health community.
In Ohio, we have the opportunity to be an important player as we have two US Representatives, Congressman Bill Johnson and Congressman Bob Latta on the subcommittee that will be voting on this bill.

Contending that Ohioans are not adequately protected from the risks of horizontal, hydrological fracturing - or "fracking" - for oil and gas, the Ohio Environmental Council is proposing a sweeping upgrade to state oil and gas laws. The proposed bill, called SAFER GAS (Safeguarding Appalachian Families with Environmental Regulation of Gas And Shale), shores up more than 30 gaps in Ohio law.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
