Port of Long Beach: Sustainability Analysis, Built with Cesium and ArcGIS Pro 3.2

As an unconventional newcomer to the geospatial realm, my presentation will spotlight the vast opportunities in this field, particularly my experience as a Cesium Certified Developer through a Cesium microgrant this fall, overseen by Dr. Swift, who is also a grant recipient. We are the only two from USC SSI awarded this grant. I’ll highlight Cesium’s integration with ArcGIS Pro 3.2 and its Photorealistic 3D Tiles. The above is the title of my project submission.

My involvement this past year spans attending Esri UC, this summit last year’s, hosting a GIS Day event, a DevFest Collaboration, and completing the Google Women Developer’s Academy. As an IC CAE Scholar, Google Women Techmakers Ambassador, Microsoft Student Ambassador, and Women+ in Geospatial Mentorship Programme participant, I’ve opened numerous doors. This includes speaking at the USC IC CAE Annual Colloquium, presenting at Women in GIS, receiving a BWOSS + Google Coursera Scholarship, participating in the #30DayMapChallenge, and entering the Google Immersive Geospatial Challenge Hackathon.

This presentation aims to motivate students to seize opportunities. I’ll discuss the Cesium platform, its utility, and how our department facilitates access to such opportunities. The goal is to inspire a proactive approach to career and community building: the opportunities are vast for those ready to engage and make their presence known.

P.S. Google has awarded me a $350 financial incentive to speak at this event as a graduate of their Women Developers Academy this Fall, so they will pay for my hotel and travel up from San Diego to the LA Geospatial Summit if you can find any place in your program for me!
