Re: [HOT] Use cases, documentation and methodology around the use of OSM and GIS in Forestry

2013-07-04 Thread Lillian Pierson
HI Nicolas,

I am putting together a paper that covers this now... it has to do with 
statistical (spatial) point pattern analysis and using that to uncover 
habitat interactions for forestry. If you are interested, I can send you a 
link to the paper when I get through.

 Hi Russ,

 Thanks for your elements, I look forward to your whitepaper or any format 
 you will find appropriate to wrap up your thoughts from this last and 
 important deployment. I think that your proposal of extensions to other 
 related fields of study and practices make sense and can help out pulling 
 out more thoughtful mapping documents around mapping rural areas in 
 Developed Countries (DCs) and Least Developped Countries (LDCs) which is 
 where my request is based.

 Excellent day.
 Best, 
 Nicolas

 Hello Nicolas,

 ** **

 Once our wildfire season (in Colorado, U.S.) slows down, I will be 
 writing up a ‘case-study’/whitepaper on the response to 
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Colorado_Wildfire_Season - I 
 will make sure to forward any documents, etc. directly to you.  Just FYI, 
 this was my field of study in college: Forestry, concentrated in Forest 
 Fire Science with a minor in Spatial Information Management Systems, so I 
 have lots of ideas how OSM could be used in these fields, but I’m still 
 working on locking down a user/use-case study.  I have reached out to the 
 U.S. Forest Service and (U.S.) National Wildfire Coordination Group 
 regarding the above and have had some initial feedback that my information 
 would be forwarded to the incident commander for the East Fork Fire.  I 
 assume that as IC, that person is probably too busy to reach out while 
 firefighting; I hope as things slow-down that I will get a chance to make 
 the case for OSM and/or HOT for future firefights.

 I also wonder if you shouldn’t expand your inquiry to all Natural 
 Resource fields; i.e. rangeland, wildlife, ecosystems, watersheds, etc.  
 You may get a broader response, and at least in the U.S. these things are 
 typically done separately/by different organizations.

 Thank you for your interest,

 =Russ

 Hey all-

 ** **

 I'd be interested into hearing about uses of OSM and similar technologies 
 tied to GIS in Forestry;

 Thanks in advance for any references
 Excellent day to all,
 Best,


 Nicolas

Thanks Tom. Glad they picked up this angle. Still, I'm asking them to make a 
couple small corrections (OpenStreetMapS) (Map Kibera was started by 
GroundTruth)
