Linked geospatial data has recently received attention as researchers and practitioners have started tapping the wealth of geospatial information available on the Web. With the rapid population of the Web of data with geospatial information, applications to manage it have also started to emerge. What the semantic geospatial web lacks, though, compared to the technological arsenal of the traditi...

Remote Sensing, an open access journal (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/remotesensing) has grown at rapid pace since its first publication five years ago, and has acquired a strong reputation. It is a " pathfinder " being the first open access journal in remote sensing. For those academics who were used to waiting a year or two for their peer-reviewed scientific work to be reviewed, revised, edited...

Digital geospatial information is now widely available via the Internet, commercial software, and computer-assisted tools. Examples include electronic map and route services, digital photographs, and coordinates obtained from global positioning system (GPS) receivers. Digital geospatial data could be used to increase the efficiency of field staff operations by providing spatial resources in a m...

The surge in availability of geospatial data sources, the increased use of crowdsourced maps and the advent of geospatial mashups have brought us to an era where geospatial information is delivered to users after integration from diverse sources. Understanding the provenance of geospatial data is crucial for assessing the quality of the data and addressing whether to trust the information or no...

Singhbhum Shear Zone is a highly mineralized zone having variety of minerals, predominantly those of uranium, copper and some sulphide minerals. From Remote Sensing data it is possible to decipher the regional lithology, tectonic fabric and also the geomorphic details of a terrain which aid precisely in targeting of metals and minerals. Mapping of mineralized zones can be done using Geospatial ...

The increasing availability of genetic sequence data associated with explicit geographic and ecological information is offering new opportunities to study the processes that shape biodiversity. The generation and testing of hypotheses using these data sets requires effective tools for mathematical and visual analysis that can integrate digital maps, ecological data, and large genetic, genomic, ...

This paper presents a visual information exploration tool called INSPECT. INSPECT provides geospatial information analysts with an effective way to visually filter multidimensional data and explore the underlying information contained within it. In geospatial intelligence information analyses, it is necessary to query, visualize and understand the data combined with location information. These ...
