GIS, Spatial Data, and Agroforestry
Spatial analysis and GIS play a critical role in decision-making, evaluation on the quality and types of landscapes suitable for different types of vegetation that could be grown.
Using Local Knowledge to Better Map Food Deserts
Mapping and understanding food deserts is important if we are to understand how best to tackle the lack of healthy food options in the United States.
Mapping Underground Features
In recent decades, mapping underground features, such as physical structures or even sounds, has substantially improved.
GIS and Rewilding Efforts
GIS and geographical techniques can be useful in determining where rewilding operations are most likely to succeed and in making better decisions about what to rewild.
GIS and Building Safety
Both during the construction phase, and after, building safety can be better modeled and understood using GIS.
Efforts to Combat Map Vandalism in OpenStreetMap Data
Map vandalism is the deliberate wrong change or update to map data, such as adding an incorrect name for a street or place.
GDAL: Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL)[1], a set of software tools, is possibly one of the most essential pieces of GIS software.
Datacubes in GIS
Increasingly, Earth observation (EO) data are stored as datacubes, helping to assist the analytical process.
Super-resolution Imaging
Super-resolution is a technique derived from computer vision approaches that tries to increase the quality of an image by employing algorithms and upsampling to improve image sampling.
Ethics in GIS
With more ways to gather geospatial data and share that information, ethics has become even more important to consider.
Cybersecurity and GIS
GIS can play an important role in ensuring protection of vital infrastructure and data networks.
