GIS Questionnaire
This questionnaire is being distributed to GIS users throughout the state in hopes of gaining a snapshot of the status of GIS within Alaska at this current time. The results of this survey were presented at the 2010 Alaska Surveying and Mapping Conference during the AAUG/URISA Luncheon on Wednesday, February 24th. We are still accepting input and plan to create and distribute a booklet providing details on the State of GIS in Alaska as of 2010. The booklet will contain background information on the work we’re doing with GIS across the state as well as contact information for specific users, organizations, agencies, etc., using GIS in Alaska at this time.
Please download and complete the following questionnaire:
If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Tricia Saulnier Littlejohn, the current AAUG president, or Luke Boggess, the current URISA president.GIS Professional Certification
