Dr. James Wickham | Senior Research Biologist | US Environmental Protection Agency Abstract: Preserving and restoring the world’s forests is regarded as having a positive (cooling) effect on a warming climate. However, some have cautioned against reforestation and afforestation as a climate-warming-mitigation strategy outside of tropical regions, without considering the potentially counteracting biophysical effects (albedo, transpiration)…

Blender is a powerful open-source 3D modelling, simulation, and game-engine platform with the ability to integrate and visualize georeferenced information. With Blender you can easily import and intuitively interact with GIS data, and turn them into lifelike renderings of natural and urban landscapes. This Geospatial Studio will introduce you to the main features of Blender and… |

Dr. Budhendra Bhaduri | Geographic Information Science and Technology Group | Oak Ridge National Laboratory Abstract: Increasing resolutions of geographic data provides a compelling motivation for spatiotemporal analysis of dynamic data streams. The challenge in processing large volumes of high resolution earth observation and simulation data by traditional GIS has been compounded by the drive… |

QGIS is a free and open source software for analyzing and visualizing your geo data, also known as GPS, georeferenced, geocoded, or GIS/Geographic Information System data. QGIS can be installed on multiple operating systems and has greater analytical capabilities than online mapping sites. We'll learn some GIS fundamentals, how QGIS compares with other GIS software,… |
