MSDIS General News

MSDIS is very pleased to announce the official start of its independent study program and welcomes Mizzou undergrads Griffin Johnson and Abby Hunt to the team. Both Griffin and Abby are Mizzou geography majors who will be helping MSDIS complete various and sundry mapping requests and side projects this semester. MSDIS is also happy to welcome graduate student Alex Ringling into the independent study program. Alex will begin her work with MSDIS becoming more familiar with QGIS in order to complete her Master’s thesis, after which she will transition to helping with map requests. In preparation for Census 2020, MSDIS, in cooperation with MCDC, has deployed a new story map, describing some of the programs and services that are allotted federal funding based on census-derived information. A link to the Missouri and Census 2020story map can be found in the MSDIS Mapping Application and Story Map Gallery section of the MSDIS Open Data page.

MSDIS Downtime

No outages were reported during January 2020, however, we have received two reports that LiDAR DEM downloads from the Missouri Map/LiDAR download tools do not retrieve the correct files. This problem is almost certainly a side effect of the migration from ftp to Box last year. Given how many individual LiDAR files that MSDIS and WashU now store, it was almost a certainty that such file mismatches would occur, so this is not an unanticipated problem. MSDIS and WashU are working to decide the best course of action moving forward. In the interim, all of the files that are available through the download tools are still stored on MSDIS and WashU servers, so nothing has been lost and requests for mismatched files can still be completed through email.

We need rainy day fund, but how much has never been defined.
