2015 FOSS4G Track: Developing, Exploring, and Utilizing a National Web-Based ...GIS in the Rockies
The USFS Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program provides a systematic protocol for forest field data collection to serve as the census for forest information and support proper management. This wealth of data has been analyzed to provide wall-to-wall spatial GIS coverage of forest carbon estimates across the lower 48 U.S. states to support Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory. Through a research agreement and collaboration with the University of Minnesota (UMN), this project provided a 21st century “digital experience and distribution” of the Forest Carbon Estimation in the FIA program rather than static maps and tables by developing an online, mobile/web browser map application (app). This web and mobile software tool enables the public to learn about carbon and how much is stored in a nearby forest. The data is presented to the user interactively on a map along with charts, graphs, and links to related resources. The intended audience is anyone interested in exploring forest carbon information.
The tool is a web browser map application for smartphones, tablets, and desktop use. It primarily works online but also offline with simplified functionality. This provides any range of users with access to the carbon summaries in the field and at the desk. The app also provides education links to NFS carbon assessment whitepapers and FIA protocols.
Join this session to learn about the development of this exciting new database and app and how to explore carbon in forests near you or nationally.
this is one of my presentations , which i prepared for Saudi board lecture , its about fluids and electrolytes disturbances.
I hope it will be useful for doctors specially surgeons :)

Finally, you will learn basic tips and techniques to avoid liability and maintain defensible best practices as a licensed professional and health care practitioner.
