Why is the : public-nps.opendata.arcgis.com - The National Park Service Open Data portal - asking me for a login? Is this no longer public? It literally has public in the URL. Does this mean I have to find a new data source for my student's lab exercise? (AGO doesn't have what I want) #gischat

Just wrapped up a solid semester of NR493 seminars- 6 speakers on topics like the power of maps, radar to study bird migration, ghost forests and remote sensing, relative elevation models for cool river cartography, LiDAR, and field work. Thank you to all our presenters-the students learned a lot!

Not Just Maps. Geospatial = Strategy, Insight, and Action. If you've ever wondered whether your skills transfer to other industries, this is your reminder: they do. Wherever there's data, there's a need for location intelligence. This week's job list 👉 www.linkedin.com/pulse/open-j...

I think my #Python students hate me right now after our "install libraries into a new environment" lab. But they're learning a lot about dependencies and versions!!! (Seriously, though, why is it so hard?) #gischat

It took me 6 years of teaching a <checks notes> PYTHON class to finally write a stupid script to unzip all the student submissions to their own folders for grading. (I did it manually all this time! Why?) (No laughing at my super simple code. It works.)

Made the switch to Bluesky. Hello, Bluesky! Decided my first post here should be an ancient #GPS receiver. It's the one from the #USSMidway - glad I don't have to carry that into the field! #gischat
