SLCNOutreach Coordination Network Review of Possible Outreach Mechanisms Jeff Hamerlinck U. Wyoming
Geospatial Extension Concept • Big E extension • National Cooperative Extension Service • Land Grant, Sea Grant, Space Grant • Specific mission • Communities of Practice • Community Development • Land Use Planning • Nat’l Geospatial Tech Extension Network
Geospatial Extension Concept • Little E extension • “Outreach” • E.g, clearinghouse, technology transfer, training, decision support • Often thematically focused • Diverse clientele, from federal to local • Local-focused examples • Plan-IT Wyoming • Syracuse Community Geography
Federal-StateProgram Partnerships • FGDC & National Spatial Data Infrastructure • National Geospatial Programs Office / state liaisons • Geospatial Platform • State-University Partnerships • USGS AmericaView • USDA Rural GIS Consortium
‘Different’ Perspectives • Federal-Academic-State • Extension needs for non-USDA federal agencies – HUD, EPA, DHS • Focus on livability, sustainability and resiliency • E.g., USGS Fish & Wildlife Cooperative Model • Academic-Public • Citizen Planner – adapting the Master Gardener Concept
Moving Forward with Sustainability Management • Fostering Sustainability Practitioners E.g., GeoDesign (Abukhater and Walker 2010) (Steinitz 2012)
