Introduction What is a LiDAR Payload? LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging and has become an increasingly prevalent technology over the past decade. NASA and meteorologists have used LiDAR, now embedded within cell phones with the release of the iPhone 12 Pro. LiDAR is commonly used in surveying, mapping, and inspection applications where it can provide very detailed and accurate ...
Having to find and track down needed information manually is inefficient and unreliable, especially when taking into consideration that all assessments and analyses are made with geospatial data (vectors and rasters). This article will show you how to create a hydrological map portal with a real-life example. ...
Nuanced Picture Our study synthesized data from ocean models, river and estuary databases, shellfishery harvest records, and social information, such as the diversity of job opportunities and the proximity of marine research centers. Compiling this data in geospatial mapping software allowed us to make regional comparisons between areas that hadn’t ...

NextGen GIS (also referred to as GEMS 2) replaced the legacy Geospatial Environmental Mapping System (GEMS) and its associated databases. The upgraded system has better map functionality, expanded layers, support, upgrades, speed, ease of use, expandability, Internet-based external users, and cross-agency commonality for map ...
Finally, the REI values were estimated by linearly combining the 16 measured factors for the 269 river subsections and mapped using a geospatial information system platform. We expect that the REI will be used to increase the efficient allocation of national budgets for environmentally-friendly river restoration projects of the country's national rivers. ...
But it was not until the Haiti disaster that the "much broader potential" of web-based geospatial information, such as maps and images produced by crowd-sourcing responders, was revealed as a tool to allow cooperation between those inside and outside affected areas, they add. ...
In the 21st century, mapping and monitoring the occurrence of soil degradation will be an important component of successful land management. ...
This article approaches sustainability study via geospatial analysis. By mapping two sustainability datasets (Ecological Footprint, 2003 and Environmental Sustainability Index, 2005) the article first assesses the current state of sustainable development world wide. ...
