Free Webinar: Web Mapping and Online GIS Applications for Renewable Energy

U.S. D.O.E. Webinar May 26: Online Maps and Geographic Information Systems Applications for Renewable Energy

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Technical Assistance Project (TAP) for state and local officials is offering an online seminar to instruct participants how to use online maps to download renewable energy data for a particular location. There will also be geographic information systems (GIS) tools that are available online to inform users about renewable energy information projects.
The presentation is titled “Web Mapping and Online GIS Applications for Renewable Energy,” and will take place Wednesday, May 26, from 3:00 to 4:15 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The speakers will be Dan Getman and Ted Quinby, GIS applications developers at the DOE National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

The online seminar is free of charge, but you must register in advance to obtain a URL for the presentation and call-in phone number. You can register online, find information about the presenters, and read background materials and reports on the Webinar section of the DOE Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program Web site.

Dan Getman is a systems architect with the Data Analysis and Visualization Group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Getman’s expertise includes the analysis and visualization of spatial and temporal data, and his recent work involves the design and development of analysis driven applications in support of a variety of federal, state, and local agencies.

Ted Quinby is a GIS Scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory where his work focuses on the application of innovative mapping and visualization tools to promote the use of renewable energy technologies.
