I didn't think this would be very interesting before the talk started. I was totally surprised by how fascinated I was by it. Great presentation.

I just read a book called Yellow Dirt about uranium mining and contamination in Navajo lands of NM and AZ, and while you talked I just kept picturing what a difference mapping like this would have made if it were available right after WWII. Hot spots, disease statistics, water flow & contamination, air flow - the whole mess could have been resolved faster and lives could have been saved with the right kind of mapped information.

A great presentation. I knew how to use ArcGIS but didn't have an idea of how the server side worked and this presentation filled me in on that arena. Thanks!

I've been a long-time user of various online mapping and imaging services . The technologies have advanced considerably in the past decade, so I have to admit I wasn't up-to-date. This presentation really opened my eyes to the incredible capabilities now available to mainstream users. Thanks.
