Over the last decade, there have been a major integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and geographic information systems (GIS). While GIS is a powerful technology with extensive data sets and a wide range of AI applications, artificial intelligence provides advanced methods for GIS projects. AI GIS is an amalgamation of AI technology and various GIS processes,… Continue reading Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Geo-intelligence using GIS
Our world is changing and becoming high – tech. Everything is being abstracted and modelled by digital twins. They use automation to improve business processes, reduce risk, maximise operational efficiencies, and improve decision-making by predicting outcomes. By establishing relationships and standardising workflows, digital twins add information to the solution of business problems. GIS (geographic information… Continue reading Digital Twin – An Emerging Technology for Geospatial World
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

Today, world economy is facing unprecedented crisis of resources be it food or energy and with the ever increasing population of earth we are in constant search of new oil/ gas/mineral resources. A deeper view of unexplored oil/gas resources through short wave infra-red (SWIR) of the electromagnetic spectrum will definitely give the mineral exploration industry… Continue reading WorldView-3 with its 8 SWIR bands becomes a boon for mineral exploration
Underground forest fungi have a mutually beneficial relationship with the forest canopy .They use the carbohydrates produced by the canopies during photosynthesis in exchange of the nutrients brought by them as these fungi spread across hundreds of miles underground in search of nutrients .These fungi are called Micorrhizal fungi.Richard Phillips of Indianan University, Bloomington is… Continue reading Satellite images reveal underground forest Fungi

Dr. Parcak is the founding director of… Continue reading Satellite Archaeology: “A New Door to the Past”
As we said in a last year’s post and another post about WorldView-3 replacing the GeoEye-2 sensor in launch priority, the new sensor is all about breaking new ground. The current WorldView-3 sensor launched on August 31st, 2014, is a massive technological achievement as evident from following sample images released by DigitalGlobe. Please note that these images… Continue reading 31cm WorldView-3 Sends First Crisp Images
Barely half an hour after a major earthquake on 23rd September, people of the Pakistani coastal town of Gwadar had another jolt when they saw a new island emerge in the sea, just over a kilometre from the shore. This island is made of sea mud. The mud island was created due to decompression of… Continue reading Pléiades Measures Earthquake born Island in Pakistan
The solar array in Seville, Spain looks a bit like a giant human eye from space. On closer examination, the center of the eye features a concrete solar tower that stands forty stories high. It is ringed by 2,650 mirrors that blast scorching rays of sunlight to the tower, which stores the heat and converts… Continue reading Image of the Day : Gemasolar Plant, Spain
