WEBVTT

00:00:07.230 --> 00:00:09.230
Okay, so to kind of wrap up the day we've got our math competition. So I'm

00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:17.806
goingto invite Jill Sherwood from the
map and geospatial Hub up. Jill is a

00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:22.587
geospatial analyst working with Matt
and his group. Let me just go ahead

00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:29.837
and say Jill is a ah lifesaver. She
is. She's the person that helps every

00:00:29.870 --> 00:00:34.076
student on campus basically get access
to this analytical cartography

00:00:34.109 --> 00:00:38.387
software. So this g I s stuff, this
mapping stuff. She's kind of the key

00:00:38.420 --> 00:00:41.787
holder of a lot of that, and she helps
out a lot of students, and, um,

00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:47.597
she's a pleasure to work with. So Jill

00:00:47.630 --> 00:00:53.857
I'm going, Tio Risk again using the
last bit of my voice to further

00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:59.307
acknowledge the very dynamic role that
Jill plays far beyond distributing

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:03.296
software licenses. The students, which
is absolutely critical here,

00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:08.656
especially at one of the largest
public universities in the country with

00:01:08.689 --> 00:01:13.007
an increasingly large G I s geographic
information systems, user base. Um

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.447
, but that is a large chunk of what
Jill has found herself doing right now

00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:22.307
, as we currently have a vacancy for a
new map. Ingenious specialist tto

00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:26.507
whom many of those duties of license
distributions will hopefully be

00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:32.667
assigned. But Jill is also a ah
wonderful strategist for larger scale

00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:38.087
visioning on the future of geospatial
data management. We're living in the

00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.747
era of big data, sure, but often
overlooked is the fact that we're living

00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:47.977
in the era of big geo data. You know,
there's this proliferation and

00:01:48.010 --> 00:01:53.206
inundation with geo tagged imagery and
multi and hyper spectral satellite

00:01:53.239 --> 00:02:00.117
and global navigation satellite
system. Um consolations not only our GPS

00:02:00.150 --> 00:02:04.277
system here in the United States, but
also Galileo in Europe and the

00:02:04.310 --> 00:02:10.277
Russians glow nous and by dough in
China. So we have ah, this

00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:14.656
proliferation of data Great We need
someone like Jill with her expertise

00:02:14.689 --> 00:02:18.867
and data management and data
strategizing tto help us think of long term

00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:24.077
data preservation and data
distribution strategies. So, um, this may seem

00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:29.196
like a long rent, but it was
warranted. The just teo basically said to you

00:02:29.229 --> 00:02:35.406
that I rely on Jill for so so much,
including the successful execution of

00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.696
what I think has been a very good day.
One. So without further ado, thank

00:02:38.729 --> 00:02:41.827
you for that, Nick. I just want to
say, let's give it up for Joe Sherwood

00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:47.066
here and taking a little joke.

00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:50.327
Well, thank you for that matter. Um,
I'm just going to say, even when Matt

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.897
has lost his voice, I'm still has more
soft spoken counterpart. So if you

00:02:53.930 --> 00:02:57.816
can't hear me, let me know. Um, since
this conference is really about maps

00:02:57.849 --> 00:03:00.307
and mapping the Grand Canyon, we
decided to have a student math

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:04.367
competition to kind of showcase the
work up up incoming cartographers. Um

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.906
, the competition was open to students
enrolled in any certificate,

00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:13.487
college or university. And, um, we
have three categories for it. So, um,

00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:18.587
we had an artistic data driven static
and a data driven dynamic um, the

00:03:18.620 --> 00:03:23.327
only thing that we asked, uh, all of
the categories is that they focus on

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.856
some aspect of the Grand Canyon, as
this is a conference about the Grand

00:03:26.889 --> 00:03:31.247
Canyon. So we're very excited to get a
fair number of, uh, submissions for

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.457
this, and so will kind of get onto
that, um, before and announce the

00:03:35.490 --> 00:03:39.527
winner's. Though I'd like to
acknowledge just the judges for their time in

00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:44.436
this, um, the three categories. The
best artistic map category. The judges

00:03:44.469 --> 00:03:48.696
, uh, Dori Griffin sitting right here
in front of me. Thank you. Dori. Um

00:03:48.729 --> 00:03:53.237
, Alan, my singer who's not here and
Karina will home. Uh, she was here,

00:03:53.270 --> 00:03:58.566
but I'm not sure she's must have left
data driven, static map. The judges

00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:04.250
were, uh, Barbara Capital. Laurie, Uh,
Shea, Lamar, and and myself and

00:04:04.283 --> 00:04:09.600
then data driven dynamic map was again
Barbara to trap it'LL Uri myself

00:04:09.633 --> 00:04:14.891
and Stephanie Dietrich. And
unfortunately, no one took us up on the offer

00:04:14.924 --> 00:04:18.741
of the dynamic maps, so we were kind
of left with the two categories, but

00:04:18.774 --> 00:04:22.921
we really did get some really good
submission. So we're happy about that.

00:04:22.954 --> 00:04:30.954
And with that, um, story's gonna
introduce the best artistic map winner.

00:04:36.514 --> 00:04:40.731
Hi, everyone. Um, so Karina and Ellen
and I had the really delightful job

00:04:40.764 --> 00:04:46.731
of judging the artistic maps category.
Um, and all three of us felt quite

00:04:46.764 --> 00:04:51.120
unanimously that Elizabeth Moore's
Siri's of maps, which we're about to

00:04:51.153 --> 00:04:56.070
see with just a few words from
Elizabeth artist statements about them

00:04:56.103 --> 00:05:00.281
really offered an original
perspective, dynamically interpreting the idea

00:05:00.314 --> 00:05:05.971
of mapping the Grand Canyon. I'm so
there are three pieces in the series.

00:05:06.004 --> 00:05:11.161
The first is Rise, which consists of
thirteen separate panels that make

00:05:11.194 --> 00:05:16.921
up a continuous image. So any
additional art historians among you know

00:05:16.954 --> 00:05:20.341
that it dip tic is an image sliced
into two pieces that are sat next to

00:05:20.374 --> 00:05:25.841
each other and Elizabeth tells us so.
This is a thirteen piece or trade

00:05:25.874 --> 00:05:31.700
tick image. Um, it's a hills a hill
shade, capturing the exact position of

00:05:31.733 --> 00:05:37.180
the sun at nine a. M. On February the
twenty six, two thousand nineteen,

00:05:37.213 --> 00:05:42.541
when the ultimate play of shadows or
cascading down the canyon walls. The

00:05:42.574 --> 00:05:48.741
next in the series is three D. So this
is a stereo scope. Pick an eclipse

00:05:48.774 --> 00:05:53.510
of the Grand Canyon at sunrise at the
same day and time so and Anna Cliff

00:05:53.543 --> 00:05:57.190
is a pair of images, with one shifted
to the red band and the other

00:05:57.223 --> 00:06:01.661
shifted to the scion. And then they
overlay to make a three D effect. And

00:06:01.694 --> 00:06:04.786
a stereo scope is a pair of the images
that are taken from slightly

00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:09.246
different angles to kind of mimic the
way that human perspective works. So

00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.687
those two technologies combined here,
and then finally, we're looking at

00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:18.656
Horizons. I'm an Elizabeth reflects on
how tone mostly Powell was the

00:06:18.689 --> 00:06:22.947
first white men to explore the Grand
Canyon to step foot in the Grand

00:06:22.980 --> 00:06:27.017
Canyon and February of nineteen
nineteen, a really huge step and

00:06:27.050 --> 00:06:31.236
exploration, Um, and now we consider
the Grand Canyon one of the seven

00:06:31.269 --> 00:06:35.077
wonders of the world. I'm juxtapose
here with the New Horizons Space

00:06:35.110 --> 00:06:41.817
Telescope, which is also exposing us
again. Teo New Horizons. I'm so

00:06:41.850 --> 00:06:46.447
offering us as viewers chances to
reflect on the vastness of the Grand

00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.476
Canyon and our own human scale in new
and really, really gauging glaze On

00:06:51.509 --> 00:06:54.736
behalf of the judging panel, I'm
really happy to present this award to

00:06:54.769 --> 00:07:00.567
Elizabeth More. Elizabeth, are you
here with us? By any chance

00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:08.137
we'LL track her down. Thank you

00:07:08.170 --> 00:07:11.796
Well, we have these really nice
certificate. So, um, Elizabeth, if you're

00:07:11.829 --> 00:07:16.437
watching or anything, we have this for
you when you're ready for it. Um,

00:07:16.470 --> 00:07:20.447
so the next category, the data driven
static category. This is really

00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:26.397
about integrating, uh, various sources
of data into a creative, insightful

00:07:26.430 --> 00:07:31.007
, informative, cartographic product.
We had some really good submissions

00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.046
for this, which made it hard for, uh,
Barbara and Shay and I to really

00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:40.356
decide on this. But after looking at
some of the maps, we chose Anna

00:07:40.389 --> 00:07:44.986
riling zmapp from the University of
Denver. And she did a Siri's of

00:07:45.019 --> 00:07:49.517
geologic trail maps of the Grand
Canyon.

00:07:49.550 --> 00:07:53.637
And this is just one of her products.

00:07:53.670 --> 00:07:57.986
Her. I'm just going to read her kind
of view of this whole map, and it's a

00:07:58.019 --> 00:08:02.137
It's a really beautiful map. She did.
Three of these so pretty stunning.

00:08:02.170 --> 00:08:06.531
Um, these maps combine a geologic trip
log and guide book with the utility

00:08:06.564 --> 00:08:10.942
of a topographic Till Matt term out.
The concept is for anyone, regardless

00:08:10.975 --> 00:08:15.022
of geologic, our navigational aptitude
to use the map to hike and gain a

00:08:15.055 --> 00:08:19.731
deeper understanding of the cannons.
Geology Bye, pausing at each geology

00:08:19.764 --> 00:08:24.411
stop to read about an observer
geologic feature of interest. Such a stream

00:08:24.444 --> 00:08:29.442
piracy, the tanner graven, or the
great un conformity. The map also

00:08:29.475 --> 00:08:34.621
contains trail info, elevation
profile, water sources, that country zoning

00:08:34.654 --> 00:08:41.462
and history. And then on the reverse
of each map is the map legend and a

00:08:41.495 --> 00:08:45.702
Siri's of graphics and photos.
Information about the geology of the canyon.

00:08:45.735 --> 00:08:48.312
The color scheme from the rocks on the
map has continued through the

00:08:48.345 --> 00:08:51.802
graphics on the reverse, and almost
every feature on the map is data

00:08:51.835 --> 00:08:57.342
driven. So some of the comments from
the judges we really were impressed

00:08:57.375 --> 00:09:00.912
by the amount of information that she
included in this map and also the

00:09:00.945 --> 00:09:04.721
way that she laid it out each and
every one was just a beautiful piece of

00:09:04.754 --> 00:09:11.001
work. Um, the sheik combine an amazing
collection of data stories and maps

00:09:11.034 --> 00:09:14.412
and imagery from a wide variety of
sources. To create these products. She

00:09:14.445 --> 00:09:18.241
created you logic maps that are very
functional and informer apartment of

00:09:18.274 --> 00:09:21.991
representations of the geology of the
canyon that are obviously accessible

00:09:22.024 --> 00:09:26.282
to a wide variety users. In addition,
she was easily she took a lot of

00:09:26.315 --> 00:09:30.172
information, a large amount
information. Combine it all together into a

00:09:30.205 --> 00:09:35.792
easily readable product. So and behalf
of the data driven esthetic

00:09:35.825 --> 00:09:40.562
committee, um, we wanted to present
and a riling this certificate also, Um

00:09:40.595 --> 00:09:43.981
, I don't think she's here is she's
from the University of Denver. You are

00:09:44.014 --> 00:09:52.014
here. That's amazing. Oh, hey,

00:09:52.184 --> 00:09:59.932
maybe

00:09:59.965 --> 00:10:03.922
go ahead and enjoy your moment here.
Uh, I just would like to thank

00:10:03.955 --> 00:10:07.444
everyone that made them. It's not
possible because of the geologic data

00:10:07.477 --> 00:10:13.735
was prepared for me, basically. And I
just digested it. Um, and also, I

00:10:13.768 --> 00:10:18.515
had some proofs printed of each of
these maps. I did Hermit grand youto

00:10:18.548 --> 00:10:24.355
Hance and Tanner. Um, and the idea is
to do a geologic trail map for, um

00:10:24.388 --> 00:10:28.245
Well, whatever trail I want to know
the agility about. So I have some of

00:10:28.278 --> 00:10:36.278
those that anyone wants. Thank you so
much.

00:10:39.327 --> 00:10:43.005
So, yeah. So what? That, um
congratulations to Anna and Elizabeth. And

00:10:43.038 --> 00:10:46.544
thank you. All of the students who
submitted there really were some great

00:10:46.577 --> 00:10:49.908
pieces of work, so thank you.
