With a population approaching 2 million that produces nearly 2 billion pounds of waste annually, Hamburg, Germany’s legion of sanitation workers and administrators must maintain strict schedules and deadlines to sustain the demanding hygienic standards that the city’s residents have come to expect.
All of the elements of geodesy are joined together in the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). For almost 200 years, the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and its predecessors have been using geodesy to map the U.S. shoreline, determine land boundaries, and improve transportation and navigation safety.
(GISuser.com Feature) Aerial guidance products that CSI Wireless and its Satloc LLC subsidiary originally developed for the agricultural industry are playing a growing role in fighting forest fires. They are being used both to combat the flames, and to re-vegetate blackened terrain after the flames have died.
The SRTM data sets result from a collaborative effort by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), as well as the participation of the German and Italian space agencies, to generate a near-global digital elevation model (DEM) of the Earth using radar interferometry. Read on for more about data characteristics and the data format.
The US Census Bureau has released the 2003 TIGER/Line files by county or statistically equivalent entity based on the latest available governmental unit boundaries (January 1, 2003). The 2003 TIGER/Line file coverage is as follows: all counties, parishes, boroughs, census areas and equivalent entities for each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Island Areas. (These data were made available March 5, 2004)
Logistics... With such wide variations of application, fixing suitable Autocad standards for your particular operation can be a daunting task that can take many years. The amount of work involved to develop a high level system from the beginning is immense. Because of new technology, standards must be dynamic and that requires re-assessments and upgrading at one year intervals.
