Logos is one of the most densely populated cities of Africa, which is endangered by rising sea levels. As the name “logos” suggests the city of the lake, its population lives in floating shanty slums. Lagos consists of a mainland and a series of islands, which make it especially susceptible to rising sea levels. … Continue reading Man-made Island is constructed to save Lagos’s economy
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is today. – Chinese proverb" About 90% of wildfires in the United States are started by humans. More than 100,000 wildfires clear 4-5 million acres of land in the U.S. every year. Importance of Forest Ecosystem … Continue reading Remote Sensing in Wildfire Management

Protected Areas Protected areas are designated land or sea areas that are conserved for their high ecological values, wherein, biodiversity, wildlife, ecosystems, natural and cultural resources are protected by the law or private organizations. The protected area network (PAN) is widespread globally to ensure the continued existence of global biodiversity alike. Monitoring of the PAN… Continue reading Environmental monitoring and protection using remote sensing
During the building project, geographic information systems (GIS) can provide the necessary data to stakeholders, construction engineers, and consultants. Planners can use a GIS model to illustrate two-dimensional (2D) drawings and three-dimensional (3D) models by sequentially connecting their components to the operations in the schedule to demonstrate construction details. 3D GIS 3D GIS is the… Continue reading 3D GIS and 3D Modeling
The interim in-orbit assessment of Pléiades 1B, focusing primarily on orbit acquisition and satellite performance, was successfully completed on Thursday 10 January. Pléiades 1B is second in the series of 2 satellites to be launched by France as part of the Orfeo programme. The Orfeo programme is a project of the European Space Agency scheduled… Continue reading Pléiades 1B going strong and healthy
The European Space Agency’s Copernicus Sentinel-3B was launched on 25th April 2018 from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia. The hard work and dedication by the teams at ESA, Eumetsat, France’s CNES space agency, industry, service providers and data users made the launch of the satellite a huge success. Sentinel-3B joined its twin, Sentinel-3A, in… Continue reading Copernicus Sentinel-3B delivered first images
A recent UN report reveals the unprecedented decline in global biodiversity. About one million of the planet's eight million species are threatened with extinction by humans. IPBES Report Said: Main Drivers of Species Loss: Shrinking habitat Exploitation of natural resources Climate change and pollution A comparison: Human Awareness and Technology in Action This is… Continue reading Endangered Species And Technology At Rescue
Introduction Civil engineering is about developing and sustaining infrastructure. GIS and remote sensing techniques play a crucial role and serves as a complete platform in every aspect of civil engineering. Geographic information system (GIS) technology provides the tools for creating, managing, analyzing, and visualizing the data associated with developing and managing infrastructure. Remote sensing… Continue reading Gis and Remote Sensing: A Foundation for Next Generation Civil Engineering
Introduction Geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques use an overall approach for spatially comparing habitat aspects and species distribution. Ecological information is essential, in particular, to study various forest management methodologies concerning the effectiveness of biodiversity conservation, and perhaps to assess the impact of different places to be allocated from timber production. For species mapping,… Continue reading Habitat Suitability Mapping
