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
One of the areas where GIS is most beneficial is aviation. The management of planes at the airport and other duties employ geographic systems. Aviation GIS must be extremely precise, effective, and dependable. For the airports and planes in general to perform smoothly, it must also operate on a real-time basis. Diverse operations can be… Continue reading Aerospace Industry As An Application Of GIS
“The earth has music for those who listen.” ? George Santayana Beauty of nature could not have been put in more apt words than this Spanish philosopher and writer. But some natural sights are too overtly beautiful to even require such aesthetic natural perception. Niagara Falls on the border of Canada and the USA is… Continue reading Image of the Day : Niagara Falls
In this blog, we’ll share how global composite satellite imageries are constructed by using Landsat 8, Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-1 satellites and how they appear. Composites: A Perfect Summer’s Day When we see satellite images in Google maps then we notice a strange thing that is the satellite data is cloud free and the greenery looks… Continue reading Using Petabytes of Pixels to Create 3 New Images
