| 2:30 - 4:30 pm | Poster Session (and afternoon coffee break) |
| 4:30 - 5:30 pm | Discussion Session – "Acquiring High-quality Digital Base Maps" Geologic mapping projects now depend on digital base maps rather than the standard paper (or Mylar) base map of years past. A significant consequence is the greatly increased effort and expense to acquire the digital base, because there are so many sources and methods of creating a base, and the uneven quality of those digital bases. Easy access to standardized, high-quality digital base map layers (perhaps including, but not limited to, LIDAR) is desirable, and this session will address the technical issues and attempt to provide guidance to management. Session moderated by Dave Soller (USGS). |

Technical Presentation and Discussion Session – "NCGMP09 – A Proposed Standard Format for Publication of Geologic Maps" This database design addresses the critical need to produce simple yet useful GIS products for individual geologic maps. The design will be released at this meeting, with request for evaluation and refinement. This session is one outcome of the DMT'08 Discussion Session "Can we develop national standards and guidelines for geologic map databases?" Session moderated by National Geologic Map Database (NGMDB) project and USGS Pacific Northwest project. |
| 2:30 - 5:30 pm |
Discussion Session – "Cartographic Design & Map Production" (including a Coffee break!) An informal time for showing maps and discussing map design and preparation techniques. Please come prepared to ask questions! We have a roomful of experts in cartography and geologic mapping – what would you like to know, to make your job easier and more efficient, and to produce a better product? This session will include an "open mic." time, for sharing ideas, progress, and technical challenges, and a GSA-style "Map Blast" – an opportunity to show your maps and to talk with colleagues. Session moderated by Dave Soller (USGS). |
