Partnerships:
- TNRIS: The
Texas Natural Resources Information System (TNRIS) is the
principal state archive and
clearinghouse for geospatial and natural resources data.Available data include topographic maps,
aerial photos, digital orthophotos, elevation, hydrography, transportation, and boundary data. Many
layers are available online. TNRIS is a division of the Texas Water Development
Board (TWDB).
- StratMap: The first phase of the Strategic Mapping
Program (StratMap) cooperatively produced in digital format seven base layers of geospatial data for the entire
state at 1:24,000-scale. These include digital orthophotos, digital elevation data, contours, hydrography,
transportation, boundaries, and soils. Phase two focuses on the maintanence and revision of these layers. The
data is distributed by TNRIS.
- Borderlands Information Center: The Texas Borderlands
Information Center (BIC) is a central clearinghouse and referral
center for information about the Texas/Mexico border region. The BIC is
a section of TNRIS.
- University of Texas Center for Space
Research: The mission of the University
of Texas Center for Space Research (UT-CSR) is to conduct
coordinated research efforts associated with orbit determination, space
geodesy, the Earth and its environment, exploration of the solar system,
as well as expanding the scientific applications of space systems
data. The USGS Geography Discipline collaborates with UT-CSR in
remote sensing and applied geographic research projects.
Councils:
- Texas Geographic Information Council:
The Texas
Geographic Information Council (TGIC) provides strategic planning
and coordination in the acquisition and use of geospatial data and
related technologies in Texas. Currently there are 45 actice
member organizations participating in TGIC. Meetings are held in
Austin on a quarterly basis.
- Texas Federal Geographic Information Workgroup:
The Texas Federal Geographic Information Workgroup (TFGIW)
is comprised of representatives from Federal agencies whom have a direct
interest in mapping, acquiring, and applying geospatial data for
geographic analysis in Texas. Meetings are held quarterly in
