Understanding the Impact of Map Projections on Polygon Size: A Comparison of OpenStreetMap and Google Earth. Why if you draw a polygon in a OpenStreetMap has a different size than in Google Earth? The difference in size between a polygon drawn in OpenStreetMap and the same polygon in Google Earth can be attributed to the use of different map projections. Map projections are ...
A complete measurement of solar irradiance includes global (GHI), direct (DNI), and diffuse (DHI or DIF) radiation. To accomplish this, a high-quality solar monitoring station typically comprises an automatic sun tracker fitted with instruments to measure these components individually. Depending on the application, long-wave radiation and reflected short-wave radiation may be added to provide the ...
Earthfx Incorporated developed a preliminary regional-scale groundwater model for the entire Grand River Conservation Authority area. The objective of the study was to better understand regional groundwater flow in the GRCA and evaluate the interaction between the river and the various aquifer systems in the basin. A key aspect of the study was the integration of multiple smaller-scale models ...
Taken together, this new study suggests that systematic protein-protein interaction mapping provides a useful resource for identifying the background of uncharacteristic mutations in signaling pathways and protein complexes. Such maps effectively identify previously unrecognized cancer genes and weaknesses that can be targeted by drugs not only ...
Six universities from South Africa, and one each from Île de la Réunion (Reunion Island) and Botswana, are cooperating in the Southern African Universities Radiometric Network (SAURAN), to promote the use of solar energy in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) countries, and to improve the quality of satellite-derived solar data available for the ...
Biotechnology quality management primarily requires streamlining, managing, and optimizing quality documents such as standard operating procedures. It helps them prevent compliance risks while increasing the overall efficiency and productivity to achieve quality goals and customer satisfaction. Hence, they cannot just implement any EQMS. Biotech companies need a fully integrated and powerful ...
Operational resilience is becoming an increasingly familiar phrase circulating UK financial services after the disruption of 2020. As we round the corner to 2021, here’s a recap of the latest requirements set out by the regulators for firms in the financial services ...
This nonprofit project is designed to map water resources using online GIS and a data collection app, to improve existing water points in Kumba (Cameroon) by making provisions of many outlets and rehabilitating the water points which are not functional, with the goal to increase access to safe potable water and improve health conditions of the local population. ...
For decades, everything we’ve known about geothermal potential has been modelled on a map that shows available resources in some parts of the world, but not others. ...
Our technology solves the challenges that have slowed the development of this major resource. The next challenge is to change the mindset of the industry. ...
The HVSR data were acquired by local field operators, and then processed and depth converted using a Vs of 370m/s, with the modelled bedrock surface ranging in depth from The objective of this presentation is to demonstrate the successful application of the passive seismic HVSR method in assisting with hydrogeological studies by providing modelled bedrock surfaces which can be used for direct ...
Reduces potential for delays and duplicated efforts Creating an EHS program without the proper knowledge and understanding of local culture could require you to rework your whole program, adding more work and negatively impacting both your timeline, relationship with local staff, and ultimately your bottom line. Map time and resources for cultural research into ...
Our current pattern of resource use is leading to the depletion and, consequently, scarcity of natural resources (1), the degradation of ecosystems and volatile and increasing prices of natural resources. ...
Daily pan evaporation is of utmost importance in planning and managing water resources. The present paper involves estimation of daily pan evaporation at a particular climatic station using daily pan evaporations of surrounding ten climatic stations covering six districts of Maharashtra state (India) with variation in elevations and weather. ...
This section of the government website offers data sets, maps and mapping tools related to food distribution, costs and crop climate resilience, sourced from agencies such as the U.S. ...

Yet the reality is that many protected areas lack these resources. Updated maps of forest damage can take years to produce, making it difficult to know where to focus limited enforcement efforts. ...
Many countries in Africa are rich with trees, wildlife, minerals, and other natural resources. But as new WRI research and an interactive map show, few national laws provide communities with strong, secure rights to the resources on their land. ...
A new WRI analysis shows just how much tension exists between those two essential resources. A new interactive map from WRI’s Aqueduct project reveals that more than 25 percent of the world’s agriculture is grown in areas of high water stress. ...
In the Philippines, the partners agreed to view things through the lenses of climate change adaptation and ecosystem management and restoration, using three main tools: seasonal calendars; the historical profile of hazards; and risk and resource mapping. Previous risk maps tended to focus on hazards that occur in the present or near future. The ...
Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) applications Remote sensing and GIS applications have significantly advanced famine early warning systems. The Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) has been using remote sensing-based regional early warning systems for food security to supplement national initiatives in eastern ...
