With the ever-changing world of technology and knowledge we have a need to get this information out to the public in a timely manner. One of the new tools that we can use are Storymaps from ESRI. These web based application combine text and maps into an intuitive and interactive experience. For more information about storymaps please go to the esri storymap website.
We at IGIS have helped build several storymaps for different groups within University of California – Agriculture and Natural Resources Division (UCANR). These story maps have covered topics ranging from the issue of conifer encroachment in the oak woodlands of northern California to information about the UCANR Research and Extension Centers (RECS). These different sites can be viewed at the following sites:

In the coming months we will be offering training opportunities that will highlight these tools and how to build storymaps that can highlight your work. To build storymaps you will need an ArcGIS Online account. If you are part of the UCANR network please fill out the following form and we will help you get an account so that you can start building these storymaps yourself.
