From the Office to the Field, and Back Again: Leveraging ArcGIS Field Maps Tasks

This session shows how ArcGIS Field Maps tasks enable a unified, map-based approach to defining, assigning, and tracking work—connecting field crew and staff in a single workflow. Attendees will see how this approach links inspections and maintenance activities, supports real-time status updates, and improves coordination and accountability without adding unnecessary complexity.

Reading the Landscape: Aerial Photo Interpretation for Wetland Mapping in the State of Michigan

Accurate wetland mapping depends on more than high-resolution imagery. It also requires skilled manual aerial photo interpretation supported by remote sensing and multiple geospatial datasets. This presentation provides an overview of interpretation techniques and GIS resources used by the Wetlands, Lakes, and Streams Unit of the Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.

The Detroit Tree Census: Understanding urban tree canopies

The Tree Census approach delineates all dominant trees within the city and provides the information as a management tool and assesses their value to the community. Using Esri’s Experience Builder the information allows residents to interact with the trees in their neighborhood providing them a platform to see their trees, understand their value and provide feedback on their health to the City.

Leveraging AI & GIS to Build a Sidewalk Repair Program

An Experience Builder app was used to analyze thousands of vertical and horizontal defect locations collected by AI sensors mounted on an ATV driven across 300 miles of sidewalk. Field Maps was used during field evaluation to record the concrete slabs to be replaced as part of a new citywide sidewalk repair program. Entering repair updates in GIS supported reporting through ArcGIS Dashboards.

Can You Dig It? Unlocking Statewide Coordination with MIDIG

Shared road rights-of-way house diverse utilities, but isolated planning triggers repetitive construction cycles that drain public budgets. MIDIG solves this via a free, GIS-powered data-sharing platform. By moving coordination out of the field and onto a secure digital statewide CIP, asset owners can proactively align projects, eliminate local barriers, and optimize every infrastructure dollar.

Floodplain Mapping & 2D Hydraulic Modeling with UAS topobathymetric LiDAR

Topobathymetric LiDAR, once limited to costly fixed-wing aircraft, can now be deployed via helicopter or UAS for faster, more affordable surveys. Whiteout Solutions has completed 20+ river projects, delivering ultra-high-density data to support flood modeling and resilience planning, including a 6-mile survey in Lyndon, VT enabling improved hydraulic modeling and mitigation design.
