I have taught over 40 GIS and GPS 2-3 day workshops through the extended education program at OSU's College of Forestry over the past six years. These workshops are designed for working professionals who want to learn, reinforce, or improve their GIS and GPS working knowledge. I have developed detailed course notebooks for all workshops I teach that will likely become an important reference for your continued GIS work after the workshop. Current offerings include introductory and advanced GIS Applications in Natural Resources with ArcGIS. Follow the link below to learn more about the workshops and for registration information.

We've developed a map of Oregon that identifies the reference numbers associated with USGS quadrangles. Please follow the link below if you're interested.
