Design carbon-effective spatial data science
Carbon-effective means reducing the carbon footprint for an activity or process. Carbon emissions cause global warming and harm to the environment, so we need to focus on reducing them to fight climate change. As geospatial engineers, we have a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment through our work. The design, development, …
Track and reduce your carbon footprint
Spatial data science plays a vital role, revolutionizing various industries and driving progress like never before. However, this technological growth has come at a cost: A rise in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The emissions from cloud data center and their energy consumption contribute to climate change and pose a serious threat to our environment. Therefore, …
Detecting the flooding of Kherson using broadcasted news related to natural disasters
We use broadcasted news to find hotspots for natural disasters. Looking for patterns in the locations mentioned in relation to these disasters is a common geospatial intelligence workflow. This doesn’t just include the place where the event happened, but also other related locations. News about a broken dam near Kherson and mentioning Moscow creates an …
Mapping the broadcasted news related to natural disasters
We experienced heavy shifts in temperature and weather patterns. Climate change is related to natural shifts and much more beneficial human activities. The broadcasted news articles related to climate change and the rise of natural disasters describe various cases. A massive knowledge graph saves the extracted semantic entities of the broadcasted news worldwide. Understanding the …
Earth day 2023 visualize the predicted vulnerabilities
Clark Labs, a research and development company based in Worcester, Massachusetts, is at the forefront of using geospatial intelligence to predict vulnerability change. Through their cutting-edge research, they are harnessing the power of Earth observation data, specifically the maps provided by the European Space Agency (ESA), to create predictive models that can forecast changes in …
The legacy of knowledge graphs
A knowledge graph is a powerful capability for organizing and representing complex information in a structured and interconnected way. The concept of knowledge graphs dates back several decades, with former work on semantic networks and ontology modeling in the fields of artificial intelligence and knowledge representation. The Königsberg bridge problem was a puzzle that had …
The hidden capabilities beyond pixels
Photogrammetry and remote sensing are two important fields that deal with the acquisition and interpretation of data about the Earth’s surface using various remote sensing technologies. These technologies include satellites, aerial imagery, and LiDAR, among others. The use of these technologies has skyrocketed in recent years, and they have become essential tools for spatial data …
Mapping the armed conflicts events of 24th February 2022
By mapping the armed conflict events of 24th February 2022, you can recognize the Russian invasion of Ukraine without being a military expert. For this Open Source Intelligence workflow, we can rely on ready-to-use mapping and location services being deployed as a platform-as-a-service offering. If you are a developer, or someone with Python scripting capabilities, …
Yet another armed conflict database
Armed conflict databases are collections of information about armed conflicts, including information about the parties involved, the duration of the conflict, and the location of the conflict. We can use these databases for a variety of purposes, including academic research, policy analysis, and conflict resolution. Armed conflict databases can be useful for identifying trends and …
