According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center in the United States, about 69% of freshwater supplies are stored in Earth’s ice sheets and glaciers. This means measuring water content in ice and glaciers is critical to understanding future changes to water supplies as well as sea level rise, where melting glaciers and ice sheets are the biggest contributing factor in this rise. Modern satellites now allow us to make more accurate mass measurements to large areas covered by ice, which al

I am an avid user of the Mapbox JS library, and I use to map points of interest in some of our projects, like locations of survey targets for monitoring purposes. https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gljs   THe latest branch now includes improved support for 3D terrain, but I am still nt seeing support for negative elevations- i.e underground.  But with the news that Mapbox 2.0 is no longer open source, What are your thoughts about it?

There’s a new member of DJI’s Enterprise line of drones. It’s the Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced, and it features a new 32X camera, a DJI-produced thermal sensor, and a Real-Time Kinematic module for centimeter-level accuracy. The new model comes a little more than two years after DJI released its Mavic 2 Enterprise, which proved a very popular drone with First Responders – ranging from lifeguards to law enforcement to Search and Rescue teams. It was that drone which heralded the modular desig
