When researchers are interested in multiple geographic datasets over similar geographic areas, it is oftentimes necessary to mosaic the digital images. The process becomes increasingly difficult as the images vary in projection, spatial resolution, and data representation. We first present a framework to describe this mosaicking process in a formal setting. We resolve the issues of varying proj...

Utility services are an important component of the physical structure of towns and there is a need for detailed information about the location and condition of their infrastructure. Acquiring data in the conventional way is time consuming and costly. The integration of GIS with electric utilities is tremendously improving the planning and operation of the system. GIS and GPS are also integrated...

Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), or septic systems, can be a significant source of nitrates in groundwater and surface water. The adverse effects that nitrates have on human and environmental health have given rise to the need to estimate the actual or potential level of nitrate contamination. With the goal of reducing data collection and preparation costs, and decreasing the time re...

In much of the world, rapidly expanding areas of impervious surfaces due to urbanization threaten water resources. Although tools for modeling and projecting land use change andwater quantity and quality exist independently, to date it is rare to find an integrated, comprehensive modeling toolkit to readily assess the future course of urban sprawl, and the uncertainties of its impact onwatershe...

Management of invasive species has increasingly emphasized the importance of early detection and rapid response (EDRR) programs in limiting introductions, establishment, and impacts. These programs require an understanding of vector and species spatial dynamics to prioritize monitoring sites and efficiently allocate resources. Yet managers often lack the empirical data necessary to make these d...

Goal. The purpose of this paper is to create a tourist GIS the Sumy oblast using cartographic materials and remote sensing data, as well development new routes in by means modern geoinformation technologies ArcGIS, ArcGIS Online, AllTrails software. Method. main stages creation were: search analysis input materials, necessary for GIS; structural block diagram research works; Satellite image pro...

This paper presents START (Simplified Toolbar to Accelerate Repeated Tasks), a new, freely downloadable ArcGIS extension designed for non-expert GIS users. START was developed jointly by the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) and the University of Geneva to support frequent workflows relating to mine action. START brings together a series of basic ArcGIS tools in one ...

To improve understanding of population structure, ecosystem relationships and predictive models of human impact in cetaceans and other marine megafauna, we developed geneGIS, a suite of GIS tools and a customized Arc Marine data model to facilitate visual exploration and spatial analyses of individual-based records from DNA profiles and photo-identification records. We used the open source prog...

ArcGIS ist ein vollständiges, durchgängiges System zu Erstellung und Verwaltung von Karten und geografischen Informationen. Es bietet vielfältige Methoden zur Visualisierung und räumlichen Analyse von Geodaten mit dem Ziel, Informationen mit Raumbezug – immerhin schätzungsweise 80 Prozent aller Daten weltweit – verständlicher darzustellen und damit Entscheidungen besser und effizienter treffen ...

This review provides an overview of the following popular spatial analytics dashboard software: Tableau, PowerBI, ArcGIS Insights, Operations Dashboard and covers optimal use cases for each. Also included is a curriculum introductory one-shot instructional session on data literacy research visualization using in academic library context.
