Hi Priyanka,

 

From your post, I believe you mean applications for modeling data, right? There are many depending on the area or environmental topic you are working on, such as QGIS, Movebank, Google Fusion Tables, iPlover, etc. What does everyone else in the community have to say about this?

@sivakumar @Hangiw @dave  @wai.yee @StephODonnell - What are your thoughts?

Hi Priyanka, 

I'll second what John's posted - it would be helpful to know a little more about what you're looking to do before we can answer your query. What is you project? What sort of data do you have? What are you looking to model?

I am finding ArcGIS Collector very usefull. I can say, as an dedicated R coder, some things are worth paying money for and Collector is one of the. I have used it to implement several monitoring and data collection projects. I particularly like the assurance that data will not be lost on the device and the ability to cache base maps.

Dear BPdorsey, Collector will support custom basemaps ? It wasn't an option a few months ago.

Adrian Hughes

Thanks for the comments so far everyone

We have used custom basemaps in Collector. You need to publish a tile layer to ArcGIS Online,( I'm not sure if an organisational account is needed for this.)add it to your map and then you can download that tile layer to your device

Hi Megan, 

 

It sounds very interesting the app you are developing. I am working for a smaller nature conservation Fund and am trying a partnership with a platform that is also in development and aimed at connecting people and organizations, facilitate update and knowledge sharing and increasing the visibility and donor pool of the organisations. As I said it's still in development but you can take a look if you like www.pifworld.com/eng. I am however also very curious to get to know other (potential) tools that work similar.

 

It would be great to chat one time to get better acquainted, maybe you can send me your contact details by PM if you'd like to follow up?

Best, Anne Alexandre

Hi Karina, 

There most definitely will be more events like this one. We are thinking of holding another gaming for conservation meetup in early 2017, potentially in London. Would that be of interest? 

Hmm. having looked up where Wentworth institute of Technology is - looks like you're actually based in the USA Cambridge. Do you ever make it over to the UK? Otherwise, maybe we could look into organising something more local to you..

Hi Katzyna,

Not an app, but United for Wildlife are releasing a new free online course on the illegal wildlife trade on the 17th that has Vietnamese subtitles and transcripts available. The website with the course is here: http://learn.unitedforwildlife.org/ but the new course won't be live until the 17th. I am happy to send you some further information on this if you would like? 

Just let me know!
