An amazing speaker and clear leader. I look forward to seeing more https://t.co/cCZRjyd6wl

Absolutely floored. We got a preview of *now* @VP running mate Tim Walz at the @Esri UC just weeks ago.

Walz’ keynote was inspiring and the talk of the @EsriUC. He is a vet, geography teacher 🌍, and GIS user who understands the value of spatial thinking to solve problems!

Did you know? Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, newly-announced running mate of @VP Harris, was the keynote speaker at our @EsriUC just last month??? Catch his super inspiring talk here:

🔥🌲Check out this nice 3D smoke app!🌲🔥
It contains a wildfire smoke layer that shows hourly PM2.5 conc. and the forecasted smoke for the next 2 days. In addition, it shows the locations of active wildfires and the air quality index! #ABfire

@ThomasM_geo @zzsylvester @mouthofmorrison This! Augmentation has given me mixed results - but rotation seems to help more than the other augs for mapping geologic features. I think it 100% depends on your specific application and ‘range’ of variability in your target objects/data relative to the augs used

When the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was engulfed in flames, Ubisoft, the creators of Assassin's Creed, had previously mapped the cathedral for their game. They generously extended their plans and expertise to assist in the restoration and reconstruction of this iconic structure. Additionally, they contributed €500,000 towards the restoration effort.

As images of the cathedral's roof being consumed by fire began to circulate, Maxime Durand, the historian responsible for ensuring historical accuracy in the "Assassin's Creed" franchise, initially doubted their authenticity. In a phone interview with Business Insider, Durand shared that it took him a full day to articulate his feelings about this devastating event.

Notre-Dame Cathedral held personal significance for Durand. He had spent four years overseeing the creation of "Assassin's Creed Unity," a game set during the French Revolution that featured a remarkably precise representation of Notre-Dame Cathedral as its centerpiece.

In the days following the fire, Ubisoft, the French game developer and publisher behind the "Assassin's Creed" series, pledged €500,000 for the cathedral's rebuilding efforts and offered their extensive expertise. This offer made perfect sense as two Ubisoft team members had invested "over 5,000 hours" in researching Notre-Dame Cathedral, meticulously examining every detail inside and out.
