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
Introduction Remote sensing, the ability to obtain information about an area or object without direct physical contact, in today’s time, acts as one of the biggest inputs for data-driven smart agriculture. “Digital agriculture” which is the use of new and advanced technology to enable smarter and more sustainable food production, depends largely on the availability… Continue reading Remote Sensing Technology: The Mainstay of Digital Agriculture
Introduction Modeling using satellite imagery however has been identified as a significant approach for tracing larger parcels, such as farmland or forest plots. Earth observation satellites have a much large field of view than manned aerial imagery and much higher temporal resolutions, with performing frequent revisits during that same area on earth. Besides large regions, manned… Continue reading UAV FOR LANDPARCELS SURVEY AND MAPPING
The field of civil engineering has come a long way. One type of technology that aids modern civil engineers is geographic information systems (GIS). GIS can be used by engineers to collect and analyze geographic data. The data can then be displayed in layered visualizations using digital geographic maps. GIS (geographic information system) software analyses,… Continue reading GIS In Civil Engineering Applications
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
Life without internet is difficult to imagine isn’t it? But the scenario for about 10 % of world population is something different. This part of the world does not have access to basic facilities let alone internet. But this is about to change as Mark Zuckerberg had decided to dive into population dynamics. The connectivity… Continue reading A Better Connected World by Facebook
Introduction A barrier that is impervious in nature and is built across a river to create a reservoir on its upstream. This is a hydraulic structure made for various purposes. They are used to increase the amount of water available for generating hydroelectric power, to reduce peak discharge of floodwater created by large storms or… Continue reading Significance of Dams and their impact on Environment
Migration is an expression of the human aspiration for dignity, safety and a better future. It is a part of the social fabric, part of our very make-up as a human family. … Continue reading Mass Migration and Geospatial Approach
Introduction Nuclear energy is one of the most efficient and pollution free source of energy for catering the modern civilization, it is being considered a pioneer in the development of modern technological advancement in society. However, when a power plant reaches the end of its useful life it is decommissioned, demolished and shut down so… Continue reading Application of GIS for Decommissioning of Nuclear Plant
