NSPS joined 25 other organizations in cosigning a letter authored by the Flood Map Coalition which was sent to key contacts in both OMB and FEMA. The letter urged Mick Mulvaney, Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), "to maintain appropriated funding of at least the FY 2018 level ($262.5 million) for FEMA's Flood Hazard Mapping and Risk Analysis Program." The letter went on to note that, "two million miles of the nation’s most precious streams, rivers, and coastlines remain unmapped making it challenging to assess and manage flood risk in those areas." NSPS Federal Lobbyist John "JB" Byrd has attended both meetings of the Flood Map Coalition since its re-launch in October.

NSPS Federal Lobbyist John "JB" Byrd participated in a U.S. Senate briefing this week on the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). The Senate GIS Working Group convened to hear a presentation by Kevin Gallagher, Associate Director for Core Science Systems at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). In the meeting, Byrd engaged Gallagher in a dialogue to inform Congressional staff on access to the enhanced national elevation data archived by USGS. Gallagher commended Byrd before the Senate staff for organizing the 3DEP Coalition with more than 30 organizations now on board as members supporting 3DEP.

NASA has a new spacecraft operating on the surface of Mars. The InSight Mars Lander, which was designed, built and tested by Lockheed Martin, navigated the dramatic entry and descent through the Martian atmosphere and touched down on Elysium Planitia in the equatorial region of Mars. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor responsible for the complete spacecraft system — cruise stage, aeroshell and the lander itself.

What I love about being a geographer is that mapping can literally take you anywhere. In my last two articles I focused on the built environment, discussing mapping at the scale of city streets, subway stations and individual buildings. Now it's time to change scales. For most of us, the "geo" in geography is literal: We map the Earth. But mapping and thus, geography, goes well beyond our beautiful home world.

The American Surveyor
This most clever and informative map was drawn in 1993 by Charles F. Bitler, Jr., a Pennsylvania Professional Land Surveyor. The present-day Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to include both its actual and its claimed provincial boundaries dating from the late-1600’s, was Bitler's main interest and is the centerpiece of his map. Little is known about what geographic and cartographic resources he used but, as befits a master craftsman, his map is not only visually pleasing and intellectually enlightening but is precise, accurate and to-scale as well.
