Now Geology NY on iPhone

17 August 2009

Oakland, CA — Integrity Logic announced the release of Geology NY, a new version of the GIS for the iPhone platform, covering the New York area. This release focuses on the physical geography and geology of the three states, and contains 20 layers of information, which can be superimposed, mixed and rearranged in any desired combination.

Like its sister applications Geology CA, which covers California, and Geology TX, which covers Texas, Geology NY contains a number of data layers which can be combined and moved in any desired way:

- geological map from the U.S. Geological Service
- detailed surface geology
- states outlines
- land elevation from NASA
- ocean bathymetry from NOAA
- all 122 earthquakes in recorded history with a magnitude of 3.0 or greater
- ancient faults and glacial limits
- county lines, USGS quadrangles
- UTM zones, state plane zones
- urban areas, hydrological features
- cities, roads and railroad tracks
- 394 active mines and quarries
- all 321 available potassium/argon dates
- main aquifers

Geology NY is a completely self-contained application, which does not require any Internet access. This is critical for anyone who needs access to this information when out of cellular range, in the field. Geology NY can use the iPhone’s built-in GPS and the iPod’s location service, and can also capture high-definitions maps, which can be retrieved from the device’s photo album.

The application is available immediately in the Apple App Store and is priced at $9.99.

US County using GIS for soil valuation

29 January 2010


St. Charles, IL, US: In an effort to ensure their compliance with North Dakota’s state-mandated agricultural assessment standards, Emmons County, North Dakota (in the US), has selected Sidwell Company to provide professional GIS services to aid its assessment officials in the task of calculating soils valuations for agricultural tax parcels. Sidwell will also provide a GPS unit that will be used for the purposes of locating points in their GIS and mapping county infrastructure, such as bridges, culverts, etc.

The company will provide the jurisdiction with agricultural parcel file development services by creating a digital GIS parcel file for all of the county’s agricultural parcels, to be used in conjunction with the soils map layer, to support soils computations using the Farmland Assessment and Report Management System (FARMS)—an ArcGIS-compliant software solution for agricultural tax assessments. The firm will further enhance Emmons County’s GIS data in the urban areas by adding annotation such as lot and block numbers and subdivision names to the GIS files.

One distinctive advantage of this ArcGIS-compliant software solution for agricultural tax assessment is the ease with which the generated data can be exported to various formats for the purposes of complete system integration. Additional features of the software module include being able to set up user-defined tolerances for easily identifying discrepancies between assessed and measured acreages, the ability to then normalise these acreage discrepancies and the capabilities to create customised thematic maps for presentation, set spot symbol placements and record related comments for each parcel.

In addition, Sidwell will provide Emmons County with on-site, specialised training that focuses on the use of the FARMS software extension within ArcGIS 9.3, covering basic operations for processing agricultural parcels, all processing tools and reporting features of the system and the different user customisations that are available within the reporting application.

Needs assessed for Geospatial Information System (GIS) software programs

Published: Saturday, January 23, 2010 12:24 AM CST

Hall County Crops & Water Extension Update
by Mark R. Hinze, M.S.
UNL - Regional Agronomy Extension Educator

(308) 385-5088 office; E-mail: mhinze2@unlnotes.unl.edu

With the costs of production seemingly out of control in recent years, the need for supplying the right amount of nutrients at the right location and at the right time is becoming increasingly important. The University of Nebraska Extension in Hall County is considering writing GIS modules for the more popular GIS programs. Among the programs is a software program called "Ag-Leader - SMS." This program, while ready to use off the shelf, still needs nutrient algorithms programmed to make it function with ease for Variable Rate Treatments (VRT).


Farmers today may not have the time or the resources readily available to create VRTs for nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, zinc and ag lime. Further study is ongoing to determine whether UNL Extension should consider this as a viable program and subsequent workshops may be established if the need is justifiable. If you have need for a supplemental module package and you would like us to assist in the creation of such or want more information, please contact me at the Hall County extension office at (308) 385-5088.


Nebraska Agriculture Technology Association (NeATA)

The NeATA Conference is scheduled for Jan. 27 through Jan. 28 at the Midtown Holiday Inn in Grand Island. For a conference brochure, see the Web site: http://www.neata.org/Docs/NeATA%20-%202010.pdf.


The Nebraska Agricultural Technologies Association is a membership network that provides a venue for members to share agricultural research experiences and related knowledge with each other. NeATA was founded in 2001 by innovative Nebraska farmers, ranchers, agribusiness representatives, and UNL Extension.

NeATA strives to identify and explore new technologies practical for agriculture with consideration to financial returns for producers. Identifying agronomic practices that reduce economic and environmental risks, thus promoting the stewardship of land water resources, is paramount to this effort.


Nebraska Ag Water Management Demonstration Network (NAWMDN)

We have several producers in the project, but it would be great to have many more from the Hall County area. The Central Platte Natural Resource District is considering a cost share on ET gauges and Watermark Soil Sensors. The NAWMDN program has been successful because UNL Extension and NRD personnel are working one-on-one with producers and then producers are sharing their success stories with other producers. Producers surveyed in 2007 and 2008 indicated that on average they've reduced irrigation applications and associated energy saving by 2 acre-inches for both corn and soybeans.

We hope you'll consider giving the NAWMDN a try in 2010. Stop by our Extension office or the NRD for more information.
