New Continental Mapping Tools for Today’s GIS Enthusiast

How CEC mapping products can help you think outside the national bounding box

In celebration of GIS day, learn about the North American Environmental Atlas, including a new 2010-2015 land cover change layer that displays landscape changes across the continent at 30-metre resolution. The North American Environmental Atlas combines and harmonizes geospatial data from Canada, Mexico and the United States to allow for a continental and regional perspective on environmental issues.

The workshop will be hosted on Zoom and simultaneous interpretation to Spanish and French will be provided.
