<P>There has never been a greater national need for consistent 3D
models of the landscape to address pressing resource management,
conservation, natural hazards and economic issues. The government is
considering a program to enhance the quality, consistency and
availability of 3D landscape information using lidar and related
measurement technologies. This presentation will introduce lidar
technology and outline the concept of a national program, including
science and operational applications, benefits and the challenges of
creating a national lidar data layer applicable to many government
and other national business uses. <FONT size=2

<P class=title_3>ESRI's Demo Talks on Transforming the Way You Use
GIS via a New Web-Based Gateway - ArcGIS.COM - into the ArcGIS
System for Cloud GIS, Mobile GIS, Web GIS, ... </P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Scheduled for release in June 2010, the
newest version of ESRI’s ArcGIS System will improve the way that
desktop, mobile and server based GIS applications can be used to
leverage geographic information throughout your enterprise. Users
will be able to use the power of GIS everywhere: via Web-extended
desktops, Web-hosted applications, and cloud GIS. Extend mobile
applications to the iPhone. Use ArcGIS Server on the Amazon cloud.
Find, share, organize, and use maps, applications, and other
resources via ArcGIS.com— a Web-based gateway into the ArcGIS
system. Discover, share, and present geographic information using
ArcGIS Explorer Online, a Microsoft Silverlight based new ArcGIS
Explorer. In the talks, you will learn more about the many new ways
to create, maintain, analyze, visualize and share Geographic
Information using the ArcGIS System. <A
