Join us for some show and tell and good open geo discussion! \ ;\n \;\nThis month we will be discussing Landslide Susceptibility Mod eling With Information Theory: The Terroir of Landslides\, with David Pe rcy\, aka "\;Percy"\;. Percy is preparing to defend his disserta tion on Spatial Reconstructability Analysis\, and led us in in a lively discussion in January. This month he will share another aspect of his wo rk on applying Reconstructability Analysis (RA) to categorical raster da tasets. \;\n \;\nRA is a form of machine learning algorithm (MLA) that works exclusively with discrete data\, so categorical data such as the variables in the SSURGO soils database\, the geologic database (DOG AMI)\, and land cover (NLCD) can be used as inputs in their native forma t without conversion to dummy variables\, as is typically done in other MLAs. \;\n \;\nFor his February demo\, Percy will show how these v ariables are used along with topographic data to model landslide suscept ibility in two of the counties ranked highest by FEMA for most landslide hazards: Lincoln and Tillamook. Percy will show that there is evidence to suggest that we can map a Terroir of Landslides\, using combinations of soil type\, geology\, elevation\,and terrane group\, similar to the c ombinations of environmental factors that are used to characterize wines \, chocolate\, and coffee. Results will be presented that show how these data are useful in making hazard maps. \;\n \;\nAll of the extrac tion for analysis was done in QGIS and Python using open source GIS libr aries Shapely and Rasterio.

It's a reflection on finding a job\, but told f rom the employer's perspective: exploring what actually differentiated s uccessful candidates from the rest\, why resume screening failed to surf ace the strongest candidates\, and what to look for in a successful cand idate. Along the way\, it offers concrete advice for everyone: how job s eekers can better present their experience\, approach take-home challeng es\, and prepare for interviews\; and how hiring managers can ask better questions\, design meaningful evaluations\, and reduce unnecessary pain in the process. Ultimately\, the talk aims not only to surface systemic problems in modern software engineer hiring\, but also to offer practic al guidance and cautious optimism for navigating (and surviving) the &qu ot\;paradox of plenty"\;. \;\n \;\nHeather Wilcox is excited t o follow with her talk titled Resume Tips and Tricks\, which will go fur ther in depth on how to write a resume that hiring managers will notice\ , along with other helpful hints for survival in the era of AI. As an ex perienced hiring manager and job seeker herself\, Heather has reviewed h undreds (maybe thousands?) of resumes. She can tell you that the AI and recruiter generated resumes are usually easy to spot and often treated w ith a certain amount of disdain and distrust. But\, at the same time\, y ou need your information to get past the AI screeners and into the hands of a real human.
