There’s no smoke without a fire and vice versa, how can we detect the fire then using remotely sensed data? Well, once again its DigitalGlobe to the rescue with its swanky new satellite Worldview-3 which has 8 SWIR bands of which band 8 provides maximum smoke penetration. Yes, a very high resolution satellite, which offers… Continue reading Obscured by smoke no more!
Definition Surveying is the process of determining the relative position of natural and man-made features on or under the earth surface. The American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM), defines surveying as the science and art of making all essential measurements to determine the relative position of points or physical and cultural details above,… Continue reading Evolution in surveying Techniques
We're the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it.' … Continue reading Melting Glaciers and Geospatial Technology
I don’t want to protect the environment. I want to create a world where the environment doesn’t need protection. -Anonymous Solid Waste Management – Concept Nowadays it is hard to find areas of human activity and development that have not harmed or affected the environment. Commercial, physical and social activities tend to produce solid… Continue reading GIS and Solid Waste Management
Introduction Nowadays forests resources play an important role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon in their biomass. Biomass (B) is an assessment of how much living tissue mass is present in a population at one point in time. The health and environmental conditions of a forest ecosystem are reflected in biomass. Biomass estimation and mapping… Continue reading Forest Biomass Estimation
The map is, of course, a visual representation of measurable data, and GIS stands for the geographic information system. A GIS map is more attractive than typical table maps. It can display previously overlooked features and demonstrate how these traits change over time based on the specified attributes. How Does a GIS Map Work? A… Continue reading GIS Integrated Cartographic Mapping
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
Lunar landing mission Apollo 17 first gave us the view of our planet, our home the Earth and over the decades satellite imagery has changed the way we humans perceive space. Tracking the changes occurring in our dynamic planet has always been a cause of concern, since sending satellites up there is insanely expensive. But… Continue reading A Flock of “Doves” up in space shows how our planet looks in real time
If you want to save the time and money on your surveying project, Drones can potentially help you. If we list out the great technological success stories of the 21st century so far, Drones are among the top of the list. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used nowadays for a wide range of commercial applications.… Continue reading Applications of UAV(Drone) data
In pushing other species to extinction, humanity is busy sawing off the limb on which it perches. … Continue reading Mapping Species And Their Habitat
