Going to the field for wetland delineations and stream classifications? Learn how to leverage the new ecosystem of hardware and software to maximize your team's data collection and geospatial data transfer efficiency. As an Esri Silver Partner, we are cohosting this webinar along with an ArcGIS Field Maps Project Manager, Sarah Saint-Ruth. Come take a deep dive into a demo of Ecobot's new desktop mapping functionality and hear how our customers augment their field data collection using ArcGIS Field Maps. Practical utilization of these tools will help your team be more effective, save time, and reduce project backlog.

More from Jeremy:
As an ecologist conducting wetlands delineations, threatened & endangered species surveys, and baseline ecological inventories for over 18 years around the world, I have been able to avoid the rise of tech for many years more than people in most other professions, due to the lack of quality tools available to environmental scientists. It is the 21st century, however, and the wheel of innovation is rolling through every profession, including earth sciences.
In this webinar, we will discuss how it is essential that tech be simple, intuitive, and shaped by scientists. We need technology that wraps and enhances our existing methodologies and protocols. Our shared vision as scientists is that good technology should be almost invisible and is not simply a transference of inefficiency from one process to another. The wrong kind of technology just adds to the stresses of balancing conservation and monitoring with permitting and state and federal changes in the legal jurisdiction of water bodies.
Data collection and analysis are the foundation for the creation of knowledge, and knowledge leads to the protection of our natural resources while enabling economic progress. The right kind of technology gets out of the scientist’s way and allows for a greater percentage of attention and focus on the creation of this critical knowledge. In this webinar series, we discuss technology trends in the wetland science community from GPS collectors, field equipment, drones, data collection applications, digitization of the regulatory review process, with the goal-setting a high bar of expectations for new technologies that are becoming part of our everyday workflows.
