NEW THIS YEAR! The technical schedule is capable of being sorted by date (i.e, Monday, Nov. 9) or track (i.e. USGS Hydro). You can also search for a presentation title (i.e. Harmonizing the NHD and WBD Datasets in Maine), key term (i.e. NHD), or presenter last name (i.e. O’Neil-Dunne). The sort and search functions can be found on the navigation panel on the right side of this page. If you hover over the "Schedule" button, you’ll also see different schedule view options (i.e. Grid or Simple). Try selecting each of them to see which view you prefer.

The Making of a Story Map: Connecticut’s Changing Landscape

Emily Wilson*, Chet Arnold, Cary Chadwick, David Dickson

The University of Connecticut, Center for Land Use Education and Research (CLEAR) has created an award-winning story map journal. The story map guides the user through Connecticut's 25 years of land cover and land cover change. Using maps, numbers and figures, the story map explores the four land classes that have experienced the largest amounts of change: forest, agricultural field, turf & grass and developed. It also examines subsidiary analyses that further explore the impacts of land conversion over time. The talk will explore the story map itself while describing how it was created including the map services, ArcGIS Online maps, basic customization and tips and tricks learned along the way.
