Geospatial databases include any data with reference to geocoordinate information. The geospatial data can either be digital raster images that represent the data on the earth in the form of pixels or digital vector data that is primarily from satellites. Due to the fact that many of the high-resolution satellites are commercial in nature, uncontrolled dissemination of the high resolution image...

A Cyberinfrastructure (CI) is a combination of data resources, network protocols, computing platforms, and computational services that brings people, information, and computational tools together to perform science or other data-rich applications in this information-driven world. Most science domains adopt intrinsic geospatial principles (such as spatial constraints in phenomena evolution) for ...

Geographic information systems have a primary role to play for sustainable urban development, as tools for collecting and analyzing environmental properties of buildings and urban spaces, either as a support for communication and public participation in urban planning. To this end, GIS should take into account the third dimension and they should be able to interoperate with existing simulation ...

In this study, the relationship between land use and land cover change (LUCC) and variation of groundwater table and quality in the SanGong Oasis Region in the western China is investigated using a geospatial approach. Specifically, the interactions among groundwater, surface water, and LUCC are analyzed through the utilization of geographical information system (GIS), remote sensing (RS) image...

The global outburst of COVID-19 introduced severe issues concerning the capacity and adoption healthcare systems how vulnerable citizen classes might be affected. pandemic generated most remarkable transformation health services, appropriating increase in new information communication technologies to bring sustainability services. This paper proposes a novel, methodological, collaborative appro...

Grid Geospatial Information Service (Grid GIS) system aims to study and develop grid-based uniform spatial information access and analysis system. Data resources of Grid GIS include not only original and traditional GIS data but remotely sensed data. Analysis function is made up of not only single spatial information access but complex and quick data processing. The Grid GIS system can provide ...

1 Geographic information systems (GIS) are widely used for mapping wildlife movement 2 patterns, and observed wildlife locations are surrogates for inferring on wildlife 3 movement and habitat selection. We present a new approach to mapping areas where 4 wildlife exhibit sustained use, which we term slow movement areas (SMAs). Nested 5 within the habitat selection concepts of home range and cor...
