CrisisMappers hosting webcast of 3D GeoTime Analysis of Ushahidi-Haiti Data

Our friends at The International Network of Crisis Mappers (CM*Net) will be hosting monthly webcasts where members can present projects they're involved in and share perspectives and ideas with other CM*Net members.

This Wednesday at 12:00pm EST, Using the Ushahidi-Haiti response dataset and the USGS earthquake event data, they'll be correlating eathquake and response data from a geo-temporal perspective, using GeoTime's 3D Space-Time Viewer.

Lin Wells STAR-TIDES Blog 12-8-09 Camp Roberts Field Experiments

John Crowley recently has posted the results of last month's field experiments at Camp Roberts in central California (See his blog post and the attached file http://star-tides.net/files/RELIEF%2010-01%20AAR%20STARTIDES%20v3.pdf).

The November activities continued a most productive partnership with Dr. Ray Buettner and his team that conduct the quarterly RELIEF (Research and Experimentation for Local and Emergency First Responders) events. Since August, John, Ray, and a coalition of participants from the business, NGO (non-governmental organization), PVO (private volunteer organization), academic and defense communities have made tangible progress in areas such as:

- Processing satellite imagery distributed by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)
