Introduction to Google's Geo Tools (Part 1)
Partner Spotlight: Today at Clapping School
Presenter: Prof. Dana Tomlin, University of Pennsylvania
Partner Spotlight: Building a remote sensing MOOC using Google technologies
Presenter: Dr. Nick Clinton, Tsinghua University
Location: Beacon Rock
Introduction to Google's Geo Tools (Part 2) - Google Maps Engine
- Slide deck
- Instructions for accessing Maps Engine today: go to Gmail, and sign in with the temporary account given to you on your name badge. Then go to mapsengine.google.com.
- Download data for exercise:
- Wetland Projects: download EcoAtlas_WetlandProjects_BayDelta.csv and download EcoAtlas_WetlandProjects_BayDelta.vrt (this table has been queried from the source to depict only those that fall in the SF Bay Delta Region)
- Text for description of wetlands csv data source:
This dataset was adapted from the SFEI_modern_baylands_poly_with_crosswalk.shp dataset, part of the San Francisco Bay Area EcoAtlas, and downloaded from www.ecoatlas.org The dataset was filtered to only show those points in the Bay-Delta Region, for the purposes of this exercise. To get an complete and accurate dataset, please visit source and download again.
- Modern Baylands: download EcoAtlas_modern_baylands_shapefile.zip (this shapefile has been edited from the source for the purposes of this exercise)
- Text for description of wetlands data source:
This dataset was adapted from the SFEI_modern_baylands_poly_with_crosswalk.shp dataset, part of the San Francisco Bay Area EcoAtlas, and downloaded from the San Francisco Estuary Institute at www.sfei.org/ecoatlas. The dataset was then simplified for use during this tutorial, to show only the "LEVEL2" (renamed to “CLASS”) attributes: baylands, bays and channels, and watersheds. Images were then added to the attribute table for the purposes of this exercise.
- HTML code for info balloon:
<div class='googeb-info-window' style='font-family: sans-serif; width: 200px'>
<b>{CLASS}</b><br>
<img src="{IMAGE1}" width="200"/><br>
{IMAGE1_SRC}<br><br>
<img src="{IMAGE2}" width="200"/><br>
{IMAGE2_SRC}<br><br>
<a href="{URL}">Read more...</a><br>
</div>
- Icon for wetland points: download wetlands.png icon image. (Source: iconizer.net, where you can make your own 32px x 32px icons)
- KMZ file for legend overlay: download Wetlands_legend.kmz (you can figure out how to make your own legend here)
