About this itemBack in 2017, I made a Cascade story map to compile GIS career resources for my current and future interns. Fast forward seven years, and I finally rebuilt it as an ArcGIS StoryMap. From job title descriptions to certifications and to salaries, it covers the main areas I find emerging professionals asking about when they're looking at a career in GIS. There are multiple shout outs to the Consortium in it too, of course.😎Author/ContributorJohn NergeOrganizationPersonal workOrg Websitehttps://bit.ly/JohnNerge

I’d love to begin by saying that I have not “arrived” as I believe I am still on a journey of self-discovery. I have heard people say that they find my journey quite interesting and I hope my story inspires someone out there.I had my first encounter with Geographic Information System (GIS) in the third year of my undergraduate study in Geography at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria. I was opportune to be introduced to the essentials of GIS by one of the prominent Environmental and Urban Geographers in person of Dr O.J Taiwo. Even though the whole syllabus and teaching sounded abstract to me due to the little exposure to a practical hands-on approach to GIS software, I developed a keen interest in the theoretical learning and I ended up scoring 70% in my final course exam.

GapMaps GIS Data by Azira uses location data on mobile phones sourced by Azira which is collected from smartphone apps when the users have given their permission to track their location. It can shed light on consumer visitation patterns (“where from” and “where to”), frequency of visits, profiles of consumers and much more.

Businesses can utilise GIS data to answer key questions including: - What is the demographic profile of customers visiting my locations? - What is my primary catchment? And where within that catchment do most of my customers travel from to reach my locations? - What points of interest drive customers to my locations (ie. work, shopping, recreation, hotel or education facilities that are in the area) ? - How far do customers travel to visit my locations? - Where are the potential gaps in my store network for new developments?
- What is the sales impact on an existing store if a new store is opened nearby? - Is my marketing strategy targeted to the right audience? - Where are my competitor's customers coming from?

Mobile Location data provides a range of benefits that make it a valuable GIS Data source for location intelligence services including: - Real-time - Low-cost at high scale - Accurate - Flexible - Non-proprietary - Empirical

Azira have created robust screening methods to evaluate the quality of Mobile location data collected from multiple sources to ensure that their data lake contains only the highest-quality mobile location data.

This includes partnering with trusted location SDK providers that get proper end user consent to track their location when they download an application, can detect device movement/visits and use GPS to determine location co-ordinates.

Data received from partners is put through Azira's data quality algorithm discarding data points that receive a low quality score.

Use cases in Europe will be considered on a case to case basis.

The USDA Long-Term Agroecosystem Research was established to develop national strategies for sustainable intensification of agricultural production. As part of the Agricultural Research Service, the LTAR Network incorporates numerous geographies consisting of experimental areas and locations where data are being gathered. Starting in early 2019, two working groups of the LTAR Network (Remote Sensing and GIS, and Data Management) set a major goal to jointly develop a geodatabase of LTAR Standard GIS Data Layers. The purpose of the geodatabase was to enhance the Network's ability to utilize coordinated, harmonized datasets and reduce redundancy and potential errors associated with multiple copies of similar datasets. Project organizers met at least twice with each of the 18 LTAR sites from September 2019 through December 2020, compiling and editing a set of detailed geospatial data layers comprising a geodatabase, describing essential data collection areas within the LTAR Network. The LTAR Standard GIS Data Layers geodatabase consists of geospatial data that represent locations and areas associated with the LTAR Network as of late 2020, including LTAR site locations, addresses, experimental plots, fields and watersheds, eddy flux towers, and phenocams. There are six data layers in the geodatabase available to the public. This geodatabase was created in 2019-2020 by the LTAR network as a national collaborative effort among working groups and LTAR sites. The creation of the geodatabase began with initial requests to LTAR site leads and data managers for geospatial data, followed by meetings with each LTAR site to review the initial draft. Edits were documented, and the final draft was again reviewed and certified by LTAR site leads or their delegates. Revisions to this geodatabase will occur biennially, with the next revision scheduled to be published in 2023.
