Digital Mapping Techniques 2022

Description

A technical workshop to discuss digital geologic mapping techniques.

About this event

The Digital Mapping Techniques workshop series ("DMT") brings together scientists, cartographers, and GIS specialists, from State and Federal agencies, as well as Universities, the private sector, and international colleagues. This annual series of workshops began in 1997. It is a highly regarded venue that has contributed to the development and evolution of digital mapping techniques, standards, and guidelines both in the United States and internationally.

The workshop's objective is to foster informal discussion and exchange of technical information and expertise, and to develop more efficient methods for the many aspects of creating, managing, and serving digital geoscience map information. There is not, of course, a single "solution" or approach to digital mapping that will work for each agency or for each program or group within an agency. Instead, each agency must plot its own course, based on personnel, funding, and many other constraints. The value of the DMT workshops and similar forums is their role in helping to design or refine these agency-specific approaches to digital mapping, and especially to find applicable approaches used by other agencies.
