  2. Purpose • Explain what the Oregon Explorer and the Oregon Imagery Explorer is about • Illustrate how to navigate about the Explorer home pages • Demonstrate how to make a custom map for an area of interest • Demonstrate how to bring in half meter 2005 orthoimagery into ArcMap

  3. Oregon Explorer Creators • Core Partnership between and • Team members with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise • Partner with local agencies

  4. What is the Oregon Explorer? • Natural Resources Digital Library • Place-based resource • Supports informed natural resource decision-making www.oregonexplorer.info

  5. Who can use Oregon Explorer? • Natural resource decision-makers • Watershed council members • Soil and water conservation district staff • Local planners • Extension agents • Librarians • Agency staff • Researchers • Media staff • Citizen volunteers • Landowners • Interested public • Educators • Students

  6. Oregon Explorer Home Page Layout

  7. Oregon Explorer Basin, Topic, and Data Portals

  8. Natural Resource Issues addressed by Explorer sites: • Environmental issues in rural areas • Land Use • Salmon Recovery • Wildfire Risk • Wildlife Conservation • Watershed Restoration

  9. Learn about Wildfire Issues

  14. Web GIS- Oregon Explorer

  15. Mapping Tools Mashups • Measure 37 Viewer • Wildlife Viewer • Measure 49 Viewer • Oregon Restoration • ORWAP

  16. Measure 37 Viewer • Virtual Earth- Javascript API • Overlay WMS from ArcIMS • Transparency slider, legend • Create active objects (pushpins, polygons). • Uses GET_FEATURES call to IMS to draw polygons. • 3D Functionality.

  17. Wildlife Viewer • Adds a KMZ collections • http://maps.live.com/Default.aspx • Increased performance.

  18. M49 Map Viewer • Geoprocessing through SQL Server 2008 • Drawing tool • Tile caching into SQL Server

  19. Oregon Watershed Restoration Inventory • ArcGIS Server 9.3 mapping backend • REST and SOAP used for getting layer data and overlaying WMS. • DOJO javascript class library for more interactive user interface.

  20. ORWAP- Oregon Rapid Wetland Assessment Protocol • Uses ArcGIS server map and geometry services. • Buffers selected point and queries intersection of layers. • Uses Virtual Earth Javascript Extension for ArcGIS server.
