How GIS technology can help to keep growing cities sustainable
Continued and increasing urbanization worldwide makes it ever more complicated to keep urban development sustainable. This is a serious task for urban planners and managers. To this end, modern GIS (Geographic Information System) technology has a lot to offer in terms of solution support. A GIS is an information system that integrates, stores, edi…

What is dynamic landslide susceptibility?
Why is a dynamic approach to landslide susceptibility important?
Landslide susceptibility is basically the probability of a landslide occurring. Obviously, the probability of a landslide occurring on a steep slope is much greater than on flat ground. That's something we can commonly perceive. However, by viewing this phenomenon as a dynamic proces…Mahnoor Ahmed 5 min

Producing 3D Models for city Digital Twins
What are digital twins?
Digital Twins are digital representations of physical reality. They can have many forms and scales, from compact models in Mechanical Engineering to complete digital city models. Digital twins are very useful for visualizing the current state of a city but can also be used to simulate future or past events.

Geospatial technologies may help tackle chronic food insecurity
In Ethiopia, the majority of people in the country rely on traditional agricultural practices for their livelihood. There is a pressing need to move towards more technologically-supported practises. The Ethiopian Education Network to Support Agricultural Transformation (EENSAT) project aims to achieve just that.
