Technological advances
in hardware and software has allowed all manner of geographic information
to be created. All around the world people are finding geospatial
solutions to their problems:
-
Three-dimensional models of cities are being used to model bomb
damage in the event of terrorist attacks
-
Real time satellite imagery is collected and analysed to map burning
fires and predict the path of the fires
-
SAR imagery that penetrates the earth’s surface is being
used to locate and map ancient buried cities
-
Environmental scientists are using multiple layers of spatially
referenced biotic and abiotic information to improve management
of the earths resources
-
Differential GPS surveys are being conducted to map the routes
of underground pipelines
-
Large volumes of paper maps are being digitised and attributed
so that information once gathering dust in archive rooms is now
being used again
- Spatially
referenced customer information is being used to geographically
target marketing campaigns
- GPS
transponders are being attached to marine turtles in order to
map their feeding and breeding grounds
- Public
transport companies are using internet mapping programs to allow
customers to map and plan travel routes from their home
