The ESRI UC, the largest conference in the world devoted to geographic information system (GIS) technology, will be held August 4-8 at the San Diego Convention Center in California. The conference draws approximately 13,000 users from more than 120 countries who come together to learn, collaborate, and discover the latest developments in GIS technology. The conference theme this year is GIS: Geography in Action. Raven will talk about the importance of biodiversity and how it influences our daily lives. He will discuss the threats-including loss of habitat, overconsumption, and climate change-that impact biodiversity and the solutions available for us to preserve and improve our planet's sustainability. As part of the presentation, GIS will be used to analyse ecosystems and the myriad of plant and animal life that inhabit them. In addition, GIS will be used to model future impacts to these bionetworks.
