Dear Colleague,
In June of 2007 a group of Idaho University collaborators submitted a successful proposal to develop an IdahoView consortium for affiliate membership in the AmericaView program. AmericaView (www.americaview.org) is a nationwide program that focuses on satellite remote sensing data and technologies in support of applied research, K-16 education, workforce development, and technology transfer. Funds for the program are distributed through the USGS to the AmericaView program and then to individual state programs. AmericaView requires each state to develop a University-led collaborative plan for program implementation and has the goal of eventually funding projects in all 50 states. The focus of AmericaView is not to replace existing GIS data distribution centers (e.g. INSIDE Idaho) but to augment them with a specific focus on remote sensing data. The next step for Idaho is to submit a full proposal for development of our statewide program.

IdahoView is a consortium of universities and colleges, local, state, federal, and tribal agencies, non-profit organizations, and private companies working within Idaho. The consortium is dedicated to bringing about the wide application of remotely sensed data, and other earth science data products within the remote sensing and GIS communities of Idaho. IdahoView is part of the AmericaView Consortium (www.americaview.org), which is comprised of university-led, state-based consortia working together to build a nationwide network of state and local remote sensing users. AmericaView is supported by the U.S. Geological Survey, and is working with the USGS and universities across the country to expand participation in the AV Program to all 50 states. |

IdahoView was recently awarded affiliate status in AmericaView (www.americaview.org). We are soliciting members for IdahoView to help guide the activities of IdahoView over the next 5 years and to help submit an application for full membership status. If you are interested in being involved in IdahoView please plan to join the first IdahoView meeting – October 24, 2007 in Boise, Idaho. |
