Extended Abstracts from BioGeo99: Applications of Geospatial Technology to Biological Sciences

Abstract

On November 2-4, 1999, the U.S. Geological Survey held BioGeo99 to provide a forum in which USGS scientists, other agencies, universities, and the private sector could meet to share information in the area of applying geospatial technologies to the biological sciences. The format for the symposium included guest speakers, panel discussions, plenary sessions, oral and poster presentations, and workshops on a wide range of topics, including the use and application of Global Positioning System (GPS), aquatic and terrestrial telemetry, national classification systems, remote sensing, metadata, and other geospatial technologies used in biological science applications. After the meeting abstracts were extended by the presenters to more fully explain what was presented and detail how geospatial technologies enhance scientific research, management of biological resources, and partnerships between government and private industry.
