Teledyne Geospatial will bring its latest advancements in ocean mapping hardware and software solutions to Ocean Business 2023, being held at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK from April 18-20. Visitors to the Teledyne Geospatial booth U12 will be introduced to the CL-360 for marine applications, a lidar sensor that can be seamlessly integrated with ...

In a step towards expanding usage of indigenous satellite-based Navigation, NavIC, a chip that can form the core of the Navigation, Positioning and Timing applications developed by Elena Geo Systems, a Bengaluru-based space technology company, was unveiled at ht Deefence Space Symposium on Thursday. The chip works using Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) or the ...

The New Zealand-based company Kea Aerospace has developed an innovative solar-powered stratospheric aircraft, called the Kea Atmos Mk 1, which is designed for high-altitude flight testing. The aircraft has a wingspan of 12.5 meters and weighs under 40 kilograms, making it lightweight enough to fly at altitudes higher than commercial airliners, up to 50,000 feet. ...

SpaceX scrubbed its 24th time this year with the Transporter-7 rideshare mission from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base due to weather constraints. The mission will try again on Friday at 11:47 PM PDT (06:47 UTC on April 15). On this flight, the launch integrators with ports on the payload stack ...

Researchers have been using GIS and 3D modelling techniques to create highly accurate maps of Pompeii. This has led to the development of a digital twin of the ancient Italian city, which was buried by ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. According to an article in Geosmart Magazine, a team of ...

Over 22,000 tonnes of oil have been released into UK waters by the oil and gas industry in the last five years, according to new FOI data obtained by Oceana and Uplift. The data coincides with the launch of In Deep Water, the first-ever comprehensive review of how the oil and gas industry is damaging ...

‘Tis the season for flooding and road washouts. Not only can they create inconvenient, time-consuming detours and safety risks, but they’re also expensive to repair. And as climate change brings more extreme weather, including heavier rains, the cost of adapting infrastructure is expected to go up, along with the cost of repairing damage. But a ...

Small ponds emit a surprisingly large amount of methane compared with larger water bodies. Because ponds are so tiny, they have been difficult to track, and their contributions to terrestrial greenhouse gas emissions are largely unaccounted for. In a new study, Mullen et al. used deep learning to construct a fine-grained map of ponds in ...

NO2 emissions are known to be primarily generated by industrial facilities or vehicle exhausts. Recently, a research team from POSTECH analyzed satellite remote sensing data from ESA and released results showing that food processing facilities and high-rise apartments that are 10 stories or higher are significant sources of NO2 emissions. The team estimated average NO2 ...

More than 7% of all mountain forests have been destroyed during the past two decades, according to a new study published in the journal One Earth. Using high-resolution satellite data and maps of mountain terrains, researchers found that 780,000 square kilometers (301,000 square miles) of mountain forest were lost worldwide between 2001 and 2018. The ...
