GIS / Mapping Working Group

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) / Mapping working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty and staff who are interested in sharing methods and techniques, and finding support from others about ways GIS can be used to further research and teaching.

The GIS/Mapping working group is part of a GC Digital Initiatives program designed to create collaborative communities of Digital Fellows, CUNY-wide graduate students, staff, and faculty to meet regularly and share their areas of interest. The working groups provide a sustained, supportive environment to learn new skills, share familiar skills, and collaborate with both the Digital Fellows and the CUNY digital community.

If you are using Geographic Information Systems or other mapping technologies in your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in mapping your data, or using GIS technology to analyze/visualize your data, we invite you to join the GIS/Mapping working group.

Peruse our mapping resource bank here: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gis-working-group/docs/gis-mapping-resources/

For the Spring 2024 semester, the GIS/Mapping working group will meet in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414, every other Tuesday from 2-4 p.m. Check out our event calendar for the specific meeting dates. Please stop by!

    The (https://www.nysgis.net/) New York State GIS Association invites you to attend an upcoming webinar “New Datums in 2022 – Replacing NAD 83 and NAVD 88” presented by Dan Martin on Tuesday May 21, 2019. Dan Martin works for the National Geodetic Survey and is the Northeast Regional Geodetic Advisor.
    Date: Tuesday, May 21, 2019 — Time: 12pm-1pm
    Abstract: In 2022, NGS will be replacing the US horizontal and vertical datums (NAD 83 and NAVD 88). In this talk we will review the need and process for these changes. We will begin with a brief discussion of the history of the North American Datum of 1983 and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988, and the reasons for their ongoing evolution. We will then discuss what activities are being undertaken to ensure a smooth transition to include new State Plane Coordinates.
