MAPPING AND MODELING COMMITTEE
By Cameron Jenkins
Hello FMA, Are you sick and tired of the current mapping and modeling standards? Do you think you could make or improve upon the current standards? Are you a “Modeling Wizard”? If you said yes to any of these, then you should come join the Modeling and Mapping Committee. Please contact me, Cameron Jenkins (Cameron.Jenkins@AtkinsGlobal.com) if you would like to share any thoughts, learn more, or become a member of the committee. The objective of the committee is to help tackle modeling and mapping challenges through developing best management practices, providing feedback to State, Federal, and other agencies on current guidelines, and working with software developers to identify software needs. Over the last year we have been preparing for the upcoming FMA conference by preparing a panel on the future of 2D modeling and mapping, presenting on “How to Review 2D Models” at the ASFPM conference in Phoenix based on our workshop last year, and discussing 2D guidelines with different agencies. For those who missed the workshop on “How to Review 2D Models” last year and the five step process, the presentations, handouts, QA/QC documents, and a guidance document can be downloaded HERE For those who are planning to attend the FMA Conference in September 2018, the next committee meeting will be held on the last day of the conference. We will be discussing the findings from the conference panels on 2D model from this year and last year and setting dates for upcoming meetings. We will also be discussing challenges and opportunities that we would like to tackle during the upcoming year.
