This is fascinating!

I don't want to wait or risk it - I found the same layer in AGO, so I'll use that. Too bad.

Interesting. Maybe it's temporary.
If I snag the underlying URL from my map from last year, it still works to add it, so the data layer is ok. Just can't get into the site, which is what I wanted to show my students.

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)

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!

Agreed, why do the same processes have to have different names, and the the tools themselves are set up so differently.

country != territory. He needs to count unique values from a different column.

I struggle with this.
I get requests from students/young professionals, (bots?) in/ adjacent to my field, and from all over the world, no mutual connections. I post Colorado jobs and events for my students and want to gatekeep a little, so I'll leave requests hanging, unanswered. Am I a bad person?

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.

I'll add this to my list of things to look into - thanks!! I have so much to learn...

That sounds a bit over my head until summer when I have time to learn it... but a fun project to get working!

That's new to me - I'll look into it.
I'm not primarily a programmer, so this class is also a lot of me learning along with the students!

There's lots of AI help happening, no worries about that! I had a yml file that worked for a while, until last semester. Something with versions that I haven't had time to troubleshoot. In the process of making a venv for them but I have other work too, so it's slow...

They're installing libraries using Anaconda Navigator and the terminal window (to learn both methods) and many are having issues with things not installing, and it seems to be version issues of dependent libraries. Or they install a library, then it won't import even though a pip list shows it.

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?)

I got to help out with a grad student using elevation data to map spiders.
Apparently different species like ridges versus valleys, so TPI was a good indicator.
GIS for spiders. who'da thunk it.

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.)

I just really love maps. So working with them, making them, and looking at others' (better than mine) maps makes work fun!

Bluesky needs a thumbs down emoji. The "like" button just isn't right for this one.
I'm sure they can't but I hope they find who's drone it was.

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!
