Clearly your cat has a better grasp of what your priorities should be than you do.

Aye, for at 0%, every hour is 5 o’clock everywhere.

People with random knowledge, and a willingness to share it, are what we need more of in the world. We all know things. Sharing them lifts everyone up and gives that little spark of joy at learning some odd tidbit you wouldn’t have found out except by that chance interaction.

These are fantastic! Deep sea muppets need a series. Feel like there should be a pirates of the Caribbean crossover with the dead sailors from the black pearl.

So I have to ask, what about ArcPro would make this better? Do you want the contours smoother because they look better, or because you think they are more accurate?
Are contours easier to symbolize in Pro than QGIS?
Sorry, asking seriously to see what the functional differences are.

Turns out what I found was the flatgeobuf format. Looks like it has a translator in the OGC package, so I will have to give that a shot for converting small datasets to for use on the web.
Too much new stuff to keep up with! 😊

I use a Firefox with an ad blocker and a No Script plugin. DuckDuckGo may have one. NoScript does as it says and blocks scripting running on the page. It is broken down by originating site so you allow the parts to make the site work and block the ones that serve ads, etc. Extra work, but worth it.

The Salish Sea contains all of Puget Sound, as well as the Strait of Georgia and Strait of Juan de Fuca. If you want to learn more about the Salish Sea's geography, check out my overview here arcg.is/1D8rDX0

Thank you for this information! The Salish Sea Atlas you created is a fantastic resource!
I remember hearing the name Salish Sea occasionally , but am more disconnected from Pacific Northwest topics than I used to be, and never followed up. I appreciate this cultural and ecological definition.

This really begs the question of why our brain appears to mostly use our long-term archived memories, to torture us?
Anyway, congrats on your PHD versary! I saw my wife complete her masters and the level of effort. A phd is an order of magnitude more. A great accomplishment, even ten years on!

Humble apologies for being off topic, but I read your first couple lines and thought you were obliquely referring to your dog fishing for catfish. 🦮🐟
Reading further, that would be the surprise of a dogs life if they grabbed on that big a fish!!

Pretty amazing how far the temperature moderating influence of the water stretches inland.
Is the Salish Sea considered to contain all of Puget Sound, or is it just part of the bioregion?

He quite clearly has this all figured out. 😁
