Join Uconn's Center for Land use Education And Research (CLEAR) January 21 for a webinar:
An Introduction to Putting Maps & Geographic Data on the Web

This brief and painless webinar will provide a quick introduction to techniques for putting
maps and geographic data on the web. We’ll be giving an overview of the range of these rapidly evolving techniques, which fuse geographic information system (GIS) and internet
technologies. The primary focus will be on “mashups,” which utilize free, interactive earth
browsers (Google Earth, Google Maps, Bing Maps) to display data and related information over the web. During the webinar we’ll introduce basic methods for creating a mashup and visit a number of examples from around the web, live and without a safety net!

This introductory webinar is the first in a series by the University of Connecticut Center
for Land Use Education and Research (CLEAR), as a part of a multi-year project funded by
USDA/NIFA. The webinars and related workshops are designed for members of the USDA/NIFA
National Water Quality Integrated Program, NOAA Sea Grant, and NOAA National Estuarine Research Reserve networks.

Sign up, and get a feel for how this technology can help you in your work. All in a mere 45 minutes of your time!
