Animal Collector feature service designed by NPGS for the MN GIS LIS Conference 2015

The Ministry of Transportation and Tourism Bureau collects spatial tourism information released by various government agencies, including information about tourist attractions, events, dining, and accommodations, to provide complete tourism GIS basic data for operators to enhance value-added applications, publish for the required users, create tourism development and new products and services, and provide seamless travel information services for tourists.

Blue Raster collaborated with The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to contribute to Unless We Act Now: The Impact of Climate Change on Children – a report published by UNICEF at the annual Conference of Parties (COP21), also known as the 2015 Paris Climate Conference. The Unless We Act Now report leveraged geospatial analysis of current demographic, environmental and projected climate data, in order to direct aid to child populations across the world. Today’s children, and their children, are the ones who will live with climate change in the coming years. The report looks at how children, and particularly the most vulnerable, are affected.

A long-term study of the geomorphic history of the lower Rio Puerco arroyo in north-central New Mexico included the collection of high-precision (Real-time kinematic) GPS survey data (2002, 2007, 2010, and 2014), registration and rectification of historical aerial photographs (1935, 1950s, 1970s, and 1996), an aerial LiDAR survey (2005) with collection of digital imagery, and acquisition of post-flood (2006) satellite imagery. The Rio Puerco is a single-thread, meandering stream inset within an arroyo located in semiarid north-central New Mexico. The study reach extent is from the confluence with the Rio San Jose 67 km downvalley to the Rio Puerco streamgage near Bernardo, NM. Arroyo and channel geomorphic features in 1935, 1950s, 1970s, 1996, 2005, and 2006 were mapped from imagery and are provided here as shapefiles. Features mapped for the purpose of assessing spatial and temporal geomorphic change include tops of the arroyo walls, edges of the arroyo bottom, tops of the channel banks, channel centerline, arroyo centerline, and canopy coverage. All of these data are provided here except for the November and December 2006 high-resolution Quickbird II satellite imagery (DigitalGlobe, Inc.), which is proprietary and, therefore, cannot be served here.

GIS point shapefile of recent sampling locations for the phytoplankton that causes red tide, Karenia brevis. Sampling sites dates of this shapefile cover the calendar year 2015 through the most recently available period. The HAB shapefile is a spatial representation of information gathered in the HAB Historical Database, which provides information on the presence and absence of Karenia brevis.
