Good Afternoon,
The Wildlife Society Spatial Ecology and Telemetry working group offers
some awards each year to people who have created a GIS or Telemetry-related
tool, document, software program or service that has made a significant
difference to our profession. There is no money involved; it is just a way
to say thank you to people who have made a difference to us in conducting
spatial analysis. The awards can be given for both commercial and
non-commercial products. Recipients of the awards get certificates of
appreciation, plus get mentioned in The Wildlife Professional and our
newsletter.
Do you know of a person or product that you would like to nominate for one
of these awards? I know some of you have depended heavily on some R tools
for spatial analysis, for example. If those tools really helped you out,
maybe you could nominate the people who wrote the packages. It means a lot
to the people who created the tools, plus it gives a little more exposure
for the tools they wrote.
If you would like to nominate someone, please send their name and a short
description of why you think they deserve the award to either Jeff Jenness
(jeffj AT jennessent.com) or James Sheppard (spatialecologist AT gmail.com).
The TWS Spatial Ecology and Telemetry working group awards committee will
select three recipients, and we expect to make our final selection by the
end of May.
