WE HAVE A NEW LOOK! If you have not been to our newly designed IGIC web site in the last few weeks, you need to check us out!
Our old web site was graciously hosted at no charge by the State of Indiana [Access Indiana]. That was why when you typed in http://www.igic.org you were redirected to http://www.in.gov/igic.
If you have this old in.gov URL bookmarked it will redirect you to our new igic.org domain. This old URL will work for the next few weeks, but you should change your bookmark to http://www.igic.org.
Once we get the bugs worked out of the new site, expect to see us adding new content and functionality to the site. We are also in the process of updating our other primary URL for the IndianaMap http://www.indianaMap.org. Right now the IndianaMap URL points to a project page under igic.org, but later this year the IndianaMap will move and expand as its own unique domain.
Please let us know what you think. All suggestions and comments are welcome! info@igic.org

The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) is celebrating its 75th Anniversary throughout 2009. I'm proud to say that I've been a member of ASPRS for the last 33 of those 75 years. ASPRS has always been at the forefront of providing direction and leadership for the mapping science disciplines of photogrammetry, remote sensing, and GIS. ASPRS's PE&RS Journal in world renound for reporting on the advances in research and development in geospatial technology that matter to us working in this industry.
In celebration of their 75th Anniversary, ASPRS is publishing a number of ASPRS Films (video clips) on the ASPRS web site and on YouTube to document the history of the society and technology, and to commemorate the accomplishments of ASPRS members who are some of the pioneers of this industry.

Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks announced an opportunity to obtain up to 20 free Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) scenes. The scenes may be any combination of data from the PRISM, AVNIR-2, or PALSAR sensors aboard the ALOS spacecraft.
Proposals are solicited for the following three categories:
Validation of ALOS Data Applications
Earth Science and Remote-Sensing Applications
Educational Products
Participation is open to college and K-12 educators, members of non-governmental organizations, and others involved in the non-commercial use of remote-sensing data. Support is limited to data access, rather than research funding.
Download the complete announcement at www.igic.org/temp/AADN_AO_2009.pdf
Though the document says the proposal deadline is February 27th, but it has been pushed back to end of business on March 30th.
