Lafayette, LA - Planning is underway for the 2008 Louisiana Hurricane Season Data Mining workshop to be held June 3-4, 2008 at the NASA/UL Regional Application Center in Lafayette, LA.

This 2-day workshop presents various available geospatial/imagery data sets including 2008 proposed and planned geospatial/imagery data sets. These data sets have been collected and archived primarily by various federal, state and local agencies in Louisiana and throughout the nation. Representatives from various federal, state and local agencies will give presentations on geospatial or imagery data that have been collected and made available on their websites. Each government or local organization
employs different access procedures, search strategies, terminology, and acronyms to the various data sets. Workshop exercises will allow participants to identify, locate, survey, examine and view the various available geospatial/imagery data sets.

Topics of interest include demonstrations of online data portals or overview of websites, discussion of available data and planned acquisitions, and activities/data relevant to hurricane season preparation and response. As feedback is received the workshop agenda will be planned and registration info will be provided.
