Scientist investigate that which already is, Engineers create that which has never been. -Albert Einstein Creating something which has never been is an art and science at the same time. Engineering is not remain the same as it was in the initial stages of its development. Construction of infrastructures is touching new height in term of… Continue reading Technology For Modern Day Engineering
How modern Geospatial technology can be an asset in climate change studies? Introduction: Climate change is the most important and defining issue in the present scenario. Climate change refers to the changing climatic pattern and rise in the average surface temperature of the earth. Climate change is evident from the changing weather pattern, melting… Continue reading How modern Geospatial technology can be an asset in climate change studies?
In December 2019, a new virus (termed ‘Novel Coronavirus ‘ at the time and of course changed its name SARS-CoV-2) starting to cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (coronavirus disease COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and quickly spread to other areas of China and other nations around the globe. The agencies that used geographic… Continue reading COVID-19 Real-Time Monitoring and Mapping using Geospatial Technology
Canadian researchers made the initial attempts at geographical data analysis in the 1960s. The systematization of the nation's natural resources was the first goal for GIS applications. Since then, spatial analysis in GIS has become more widespread. It is challenging to think of a single business owner or super industry that does not gain in… Continue reading Spatial tools: Making GIS Analyst lives easier
Launched on December 1st , 2012 from Guiana Space Centre, Kourou, French Guiana, Pléiades 1B is the second high resolution satellite to join the Astrium constellation. Pléiades 1B will provide 50-centimeter (cm) panchromatic and 2-meter (m) 4-band multispectral (i.e. blue, green, red and near-infrared) products with the widest footprint of any high resolution satellite at… Continue reading Pléiades 1B Starts operations, First image in
India gets closer to develop its own navigation system, known as IRNSS (Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System). IRNSS or NavIC is designed to provide accurate positioning information service to users in India as well as the region extending up to 1500 km from its boundary i.e. South-East Asia, a significant part of China and the… Continue reading India’s own Navigation Satellite System
Some hard to believe facts about earth’s water- 97 % – Found in oceans 2% – In frozen form (glaciers and ice caps) Less than 1% – fresh water and a tiny fraction of water exists as water vapour in our atmosphere Main Issues With Oceans A) Over Fishing Commercial fishing is among the biggest… Continue reading Geospatial Data for Ocean Ecosystem
GIs and remote sensing covers large number of products that are used as an input for various projects. Electronic terrain data has its endless significances. Knowing more about the terrain and the surface objects is immense useful in various engineering projects and are widely used in environmental studies as well. With advancement in sensors capabilities… Continue reading Applications of 3D Landscape Models
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) defines sustainable development as 'sustainable development is the management and conservation of natural resources base and the orientation of technological and institutional changes in such a manner as to ensure the attainment and continued satisfaction of human needs for present and future generations. Such sustainable development conserves land, water,… Continue reading Geospatial Technology Fostering Sustainability and Sustainable Development Goals
Cloud computing is comparable to the utility idea in that a business organization can “connect in” to a virtual world and use the computer technology resources available on as-needed grounds. Web clients access applications running on such a console, whereas the application software and data are managed to keep on the (web) server-side. Cloud computing… Continue reading Cloud GIS- A New Paradigm for Geospatial World
