Hi Everyone -
Reminder! Please tune in to the Polygon Madness Webinar, Tuesday Dec
13th 3:00pm to 4:00pm EST 8:00 - 9:00 UTC
*iDigBio Webinar:* Polygon Madness! Creating them, using them in
research. Georeferencing using polygons greatly reduces locality
uncertainty. As a use-case, Michael Yost will walk through the
protocols and best practices he's developed in drawing polygons around
various localities. Join us as we work together on polygon protocols
and increase the utility of polygon locality data. If you're someone
using these in your research - we need you to attend to share your
thoughts and questions. If you're actively involved in creating these as
you digitize legacy collections data, please share your insights too!

At our recent iDigBio-CCBER Georeferencing for Research Use (GRU) short
course
<https://www.idigbio.org/content/georeferencing-and-visualizing-biodiversity-data-research>,
we discussed at some length, the creation of polygons around geospatial
coordinates for expressing uncertainty. One of our course goals was to
investigate if researchers are using these polygons and how they are
using them. If they are not using them, we wanted to understand more
about why not. This webinar is a step toward bringing in the broader
community to include more researchers in the conversation along with the
staff who are often creating these, especially for legacy data.
