Managing data to drive decision making has never been more important.  As large data systems are capturing significant performance, operational and planning data in the transit industry.  These data can improve decision making, service evaluation, customer satisfaction, operational efficiency and overall system performance. At the core of many of these data are spatial elements, that describe the location of relevant transit data.  Transit boardings, customer location, activity centers, assets and transit service.  Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provides a unique platform for organizing, evaluating and communicating data; transforming data into information.  This conference will bring experts from around the country on how GIS is being used everyday to improve transit systems.  The conference will provide a breadth of GIS experiences to showcase how agencies of all sizes and budgets are managing its GIS data and improving transit service and ultimately customer service.

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and anthropogenic methane emissions are the second largest contributor to man-made global warming. Studies suggest that natural emissions of methane may increase in response to the warming, providing a significant positive feedback. Of particular concern are "old carbon" reservoirs, such as marine methane hydrates and permafrost. Both of these reservoirs are sensitive to warming and are large enough to increase the atmospheric methane concentration by an order of magnitude or more if a large fraction of the reservoir is destabilized. Our research group is testing the hypothesis that methane hydrates and / or permafrost can emit large amounts of methane to the atmosphere in response to warming. To test this hypothesis, we are studying the previous time the Earth had gone through a large global warming -- the last deglaciation, between about 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. We obtain large samples of ancient air from glacial ice cores and analyze the carbon-14 content of methane in this air to characterize the magnitude of methane emissions from old carbon sources. My talk will provide an introduction to ice cores as well as discuss our findings from methane C-14 measurements. 

This complimentary event is open to business professionals, entrepreneurs, inventors, students, teachers and 'creative souls'.
