The Data Basin developers are currently working to allow the import and visualization of time-enabled datasets. This screencast gives a short preview of how users will be able to interact with time-enabled data in the live map viewer. In addition to viewing animations in the map, users will also be able to save animated data as a movie to easily share with others.

To date, the Data Basin system has been powered in part by a custom, beta version of ESRI's ArcGIS Online.  Now that the officially-supported, public version of ArcGIS is available, Data Basin will migrate content over and start using this newer version.

ESRI User Conference 2010: Conservation Community Focus

Submitted by: John Bergquist
Jul 21, 2010

This past week, Conservation Biology Institute and Data Basin staff had the opportunity to attend the 2010 ESRI International Users Conference in San Diego California.  In recent years the conservation community participated in the vendor and partner exhibits but was only given sideline space that few attendees had a chance to visit.  This year was different: the Conservation Science and Climate Change Showcase was given generous central space in

Sharing, Interpreting and Visualizing

The effective use of new technology

Submitted by: Joel Clement

One of the most pervasive barriers to conservation effectiveness has always been the lack of capacity in our community for easily sharing, interpreting, and visualizing complex ecological information, and our stories have suffered for it. In subsidizing the development of Data Basin™, our primary goal was to help Wilburforce grantees share their data easily and more effectively – to provide the latest technology and help foster more of those aha! moments when maps overlay to illustrate and communicate important threats or opportunities.

Conservation is all about place, so it is not surprising that mapping plays an integral part in successfully addressing today's conservation challenges. A couple of years ago, the Wilburforce Foundation asked me if our organization (Conservation Biology Institute or CBI) would be interested in helping develop a new website that would address the common disconnect observed between conservation science and conservation practice paying particular attention to mapping solutions. Their original vision and support has allowed for the creation of this important new website - Data Basin.

We've finally returned from presenting Data Basin at 2 separate conferences - the 2009 ESRI User's Conference in San Diego, and the Society for Conservation GIS meeting in Big Bear, CA. At both conferences, we gave live demos of the redesigned version of Data Basin powered by ArcGIS Online & Server technology (more on this later).

We're now part of the way through the 2009 ESRI User Conference in San Diego, presenting our redesign of Data Basin (more info on this later). So far we've had several great meetings with folks to show them Data Basin and get new ideas of things to build to better address their needs.

See us in the Conservation Hall (ballroom 20d) until Thurs at 1:30 PM. Lots of exciting new developments to show off!
