Geospatial Internships – Where to find an opportunity? This is probably one of the main questions I get asked when I am speaking to new graduates or people wanting to get experience in the GeoSpatial Industry. Last week’s blog post received some great feedback on Linked In and people shared some great advice about their experiences with internships. Sílvia Batista • Internships in every area of work are very necessary otherwise most of graduates won’t get the experience and therefore wouldn’t be able to put their recently acquired skills in action.Chuck Skaggs • I got into GIS 25 years ago on a paid internship…been doing it ever since!!! This week I am going to look at some ways to get yourself an internship that will be both beneficial to you and the employer. Recruitment Sites Not too many recruitment sites have intern categories but there are a few resources that maybe of interest to you. Internships.com Using the keyword GIS I found 23 possible internships at the time of writing this.
UNEP-WCMC Land Use Analysis of the Salmon River Watershed Table 1: Original Land Use Classification Schemes for each time period In order to compare the data sets the land use attributes were subjectively reclassified to have any combination of the following seven land use classes (Table 2): Agriculture Residential Commercial Parks and Recreation Transportation and Communication Resource and Industrial Government and Institutional The reclassification method was done simply by comparing the original land use classes with the new land use classes. The old land use class was changed to the new land use class that best described it. Table 2: Summary of reclassified land use attributes for each time period Each land use shapefile was converted to raster format and combined into two rasters called “Combine66_86” and “Combine86_01” using the raster calculator in ArcGIS. Maps of the agriculture land use within the Salmon River Watershed were created using ArcGIS to visualize these calculations. Slope Analysis Critical Nutrient Source Area Analysis
GBIF : Global Biodiversity Information Facility Try out the new GBIF portal! Why not try out the new GBIF portal at www.gbif.org, which has many more features and includes lots of information about the GBIF community, including great examples of data uses in research and interesting applications? The old GBIF data portal which you are viewing now will continue to be supported until we are satisfied it can be taken down without causing major inconvenience. Welcome to the (former) GBIF Data Portal Access 416,242,316 data records (363,215,360 with coordinates) shared via the GBIF network. Explore Species Find data for a species or other group of organisms.

Visualizing Confusion Matrix using heatmap in R | Musings Confusion matrix is one of the many ways to analyze accuracy of a classification model. As show in the table below, a confusion matrix is basically a two dimensional table with two axes. On one axis it has actual or target categories and on the other it contains predicted categories. While the above confusion matrix is insightful, it only works when you few limited categories. Below is the final output. No related posts.
