AAUG Monthly Meetings
- The Web Atlas of Alaska Dene Traditional Place Names
August 21, 2024Gerad M. Smith, a cultural resources consultant with North Star Cultural Resources, and the University of Alaska Anchorage archaeologist in the Department of Anthropology and Geography, will discuss the background, digitization, and mapping of traditional Alaska Native place names, and the ongoing creative work on The Web Atlas of Alaska Dene Traditional Place Names.
Freddie R. Olin IV, a spatial planning consultant and University of Alaska Fairbanks Rural Development graduate student, will be discussing Alaska Native corporation land ownership and land use in comparison with the ArcGIS Online Alaska Native place names layer authored by Drs.

- Mapping in Alaska - Returning to Fundamentals and Best Practices
July 24, 2024
Joel Cusick, National Park ServiceA journey across Alaska with a GNSS receiver in the hand presents unique challenges brought upon us by our sheer remoteness. Hardware and Software companies from the lower 48 are increasingly making it more difficult to map in remote locations and in high latitudes with ever-more reliance on internet and Line of Sight to geostationary satellites. What is an Alaskan to do? Don't despair - Alaskans get it done no matter what, but it does pay to focus in on the fundamentals of space-based navigation and positioning. Join us during this AUG meeting to cover what works in today's mobile mapping workflows, and best practices that will always work - regardless of what a specifications sheet will tell you.
- ArcGIS Experience Builder Development Considerations
June 24, 2024
David HowesArcGIS Experience Builder is described by Esri as "a highly configurable solution for building compelling web apps without writing code." Coding, however, provides significant additional benefits, either through the creation and installation of custom widgets or through more traditional application customization, which involves, for example, adding code that runs in response to browser events. An overview of these options and associated development considerations will be provided in a manner that is designed to be helpful to both developers and non-developers alike, with explanations supported by comparisons with ArcGIS Web AppBuilder development technology. In view of the scheduled retirement of ArcGIS Web AppBuilder in July 2024, transition considerations will also be addressed.
- Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) Presentations
June 14, 2022Mike Hendricks, Jen Athey, and Oralee Nudson of DGGS will give a series of short presentations including: 1) Brief overview of DGGS field-to-archive geologic mapping systems, 2) Contracting out geologic map digitization and attribution using the GeMS standard, 3) AK DGGS' hardware solution for collaborative field data collection, and 4) Alaska radon maps suggest potential scope of health concern.
