New Zealand ESRI User Group Regional Meetings
Its the ESRI user group regional meeting season - if you're interested in attending any one of the local user group meetings - info is available here: http://www.gisuser.org.nz/events-amp-conferences/regional-meetings-amp-events/regional-meetings
Palmerston North is on this week (3 April) - I'll be making a guest appearance talking about the Geospatial Skills Shortage survey I ran in New Zealand a little while ago. Wellington is up on the 11th of April and I'll be presenting on SET (a spatial econometric transport model developed with the ISCR).

Timelapse: Landsat imagery over time
Great website showing the changes in land use as captured by the LandSat satellites over time. They've set up some great examples - but of New Zealand interest is the changing rural land uses to wine (try Marlborough) and the changing land use in the Canterbury plains (not sure if this is a seasonal issue or the wider availability of irrigation).

A little bit old but...
What are the implications of leaving a country off an international map for an international initiative? In this instance the missing case of New Zealand on the Nuclear Security Summit.
Women in GIS
A new ESRI story map which shows the location of women working in and studying GIS. Very US centric at the moment but an interesting insight into the spatial distribution of GIS positions internationally as well as the distribution of women in GIS.
