It includes opening remarks by Sally Hall and invited speaker David Kimneck, who emphasized the power of spatial thinking and mapping and noted that ACC GIS graduates are often hired by entry-level GIS roles in the City of Austin. The presentations covered Elizabeth Schwartz’s Katmai volcanism map using GIS and interpretive design, Adam Phillips’s LiDAR monitoring of structural shifts in a downtown Austin parking garage using scans from February and April, Megan Oropeza’s proposal for a DPS park and ride in Round Rock based on employee survey data, Leah Frizal’s GIS-based Texas veterans cemetery site selection reducing parcels from about 1.17 million to 3,454, and Austin Vittic’s mapping work for the Little Walnut Creek Greenbelt. A recorded presentation by Preston Perdon explained GIS criteria for a natural gas pipeline classification assessment with pipeline segments classified mainly as class 2 for about 3,693 feet and class 3 for about 1,586 feet."}
