Bay Area Map Group

Virtual Winter Meeting 2022  

Saturday, February 5th 2022

10:30 am - 12:00 pm


    Meeting Format


    This will be a casual meeting to share and learn. If you'd like to plan ahead to present a map, please email Tom Paper (tom@websterpacific.com). If you'd like to simply show up and present something, we will leave time for you.


    The meeting will be held virtually on Zoom. 


    Registration


    Please register for this event at the link here.


    Upcoming Meetings


    The CMS Annual Spring Conference is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, June 4th, 2022, from 10am to 4pm at the David Rumsey Map Center at Stanford University. The meeting will be held both virtually and in-person. Registration will open in April 2022.


    The Bay Area Map Group is contemplating hosting an image digitization event. This would be a one-day event, hosted at Tom Paper’s house in San Francisco, where CMS members could have a selection of their maps digitized using a high-resolution camera that Tom now owns. There would be a nominal fee for each image (<$5) and all proceeds would go to the California Map Society. A date has not yet been set. If you are interested, please email Tom Paper at tom@websterpacific.com.

    Agenda

    Times are subject to change.

    10:00 Registration and Hospitality
     10:30   welcome
    10:40 - 11:20 William Mosely

    "Satellite imagery and wildfire response: The Palisades Fire"

    Planet Labs PBC operates flocks of microsatellites providing a hi-resolution snapshot of the earth every day, and even higher-resolution satellites that capture images on demand.

    Customer Success Manager William Mosely will detail how Microsoft AI for Good and Planet partnered to measure the impact of the devastating nearby Palisades fire this past January.

     11:25 - 12:05

    Cal Tabuena-Frolli

    "Yield 02"

    Artist Cal Tabuena-Frolli is following a stint with the Santa Paula Oil Museum with a series of maps and related pieces detailing the history of oil in California, from pre-historic times through 1929. That's when most of us think California oil history begins.


     12:10 - 12:50 Ed LeFranco

     "The Best of Beijing"

    Journalist and sinophile Ed LeFranco will share the various ways the capital of China has been cartographically portrayed throughout the 20th century.

    12:50 - 1:30
    break
    1:30 - 2:10 Jon Jablonski "Resurrecting Landscapes with Machine Vision"

    Librarian Jon Jablonski is leveraging collections of aerial photography at UC Santa Barbara and UCLA to build 3-d models of 1930s Yosemite Valley, the Gaviota Coast, and more! By using Agisoft Metashape, the overlapping stereo photographs reveal long-forgotten vistas and have the potential to help find forgotten abandoned oil wells. 
    2:15 - 2:50 Deborah Scacco

    Santa Monica's first artist-in-residence at City Yards, Deborah Scacco will highlight how maps, cartography, and the landscape interact in her work as artist and curator. 

    bonus: Deborah's exhibition "Laboratory for the Future" at Propeller Gallery is open through January 2026!
