La división de Seguridad, Infraestructuras y Geoespacial de la multinacional sueca Hexagon está trabajando con las autoridades españolas para proteger a los residentes y el medio ambiente a través de un gemelo digital del Campo de Cartagena. El gemelo digital permitirá al ministerio para la Transición Ecológica hacer comparaciones visuales de los cambios en el ...

Mobile lidar scanners are mapping underground spaces in Belfast to better understand and prepare for coastal flooding. The use of SLAM-based systems provides greater clarity of large flood risk areas for surveyors, through the creation of flood models. Globally, lidar solutions help to create the foundations for flood modeling of large areas, however, they seldom ...

Uma combinação de modelos de previsão de expansão urbana e de mudança do uso do solo e hidrodinâmicos resultou em uma metodologia capaz de fornecer informações geográficas que identificam os locais com maior risco de inundações em cidades, inclusive as provocadas por chuvas extremas. O estudo é pioneiro e foi realizado com base em dados ...

Diese waren beim BfG nur zweidimensional für Jedermann abrufbar. Mithilfe dieser Anwendung ist eine Ersteinschätzung bei verschiedenen ...

FutureTales LAB by MQDC, a futurology research centre, is collaborating with ESRI (Thailand), a leader in location intelligence and geo-informatics with ArcGIS software, to set up the “Urban Hazard Studio” data hub to study Greater Bangkok’s flood risks. The hub will analyse, evaluate, and share information to alert people and society so all sectors prepare ...

Aunque para drenar las aguas lluvias, las ciudades disponen de sistemas de alcantarillado, en épocas como la actual, donde el Fenómeno de La Niña ha incrementado el porcentaje de estas, las inundaciones aumentan su frecuencia y magnitud. Otro aspecto que influye en esta problemática es el aumento de la impermeabilización del suelo vinculado al proceso ...

Intermap Technologies announced the development of a flood modelling initiative and enhanced Digital Elevation Model (DEM) datasets in Thailand. Using a combination of satellite imagery, radar data and ancillary inputs, Intermap will create an extensive, detailed flood map and precision elevation model for the greater Bangkok area. Bangkok itself is sinking due to urban development ...

Live flood alert InsurTech platform Previsico has partnered with the new €4.3bn Meteosat Third Generation satellite system. This new system will allow Previsico to be more accurate and timelier with flood warnings, providing insurers and property owners with more time to mitigate flood impacts. The first satellite of the new generation was launched on 13 ...

Com a cooperação técnica firmada há um ano entre o Cemaden/MCTI, a Aliança Bioversity-CIAT e o Programa Servir-Amazonia (do Programa Servir-Global), as instituições vêm desenvolvendo os serviços de informação para o monitoramento hidrometeorológico, modelagem de inundações e deslizamentos de terra e lançaram a ferramenta Hydroview para previsão de inundações no Brasil. O lançamento do serviço ...

El Servicio Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología del Perú (Senamhi) anunció el lanzamiento de Senamhi GEOGloWS, una plataforma que cuenta con tecnología de la Administración Nacional de Aeronáutica y del Espacio (NASA). Con los datos obtenidos se espera optimizar el pronóstico de inundaciones a nivel nacional. Este nuevo sistema ha sido personalizado con las condiciones ...

A new Environmental Working Group geospatial analysis finds over 2 percent of North Carolina’s 7,352 swine and poultry factory farms are in or just outside floodplains. When these farms flood, they can contaminate water with bacteria and other health hazards. “The 156 factory farms we found in and near North Carolina’s floodplains are at a ...

Researchers at The University of Queensland have used satellites with radar imaging sensors to see through clouds and map flooding and say the technique could provide faster, more detailed information to keep communities safe. Professor Noam Levin from UQ’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences said the project combined images from optical satellites with information ...

For the last several years, Google has been using artificial intelligence to develop a system that can predict floods. It has also been working on wildfire tracking tools. Ahead of the COP27 climate conference taking place next week, the company announced that it is expanding those tools. First, Google says it will offer flood forecasts ...

As flash floods recede in Pakistan, the country welcomes the first smart IoT (Internet of Things) farm in Rawalpindi. Satellite navigation autopilot, robotic fertiliser applicator, agricultural UAV, climate and soil monitoring stations, solar-powered water pump…the deluge-ravaged land is recovering by virtue of digital solutions. “This is just a beginning,” Liu Yang Sloan, Secretary General of ...

KT 는 이지스와 3D 지도·공간정보를 바탕으로 일조권 변화·침수 예측 등 모의시험이 가능한 ‘디지털 트윈 플랫폼 서비스’를 공동 구축하는 데 협력하는 업무협약(MOU)을 맺었다고 26일 밝혔다. KT는 자사 클라우드 게임서비스 ‘게임박스’에 쓰이는 차세대 게임스트리밍 솔루션으로 디지털 트윈 플랫폼을 제공하고 있다. 디지털트윈은 현실의 사물이나 시스템 등을 가상공간에 같은 크기로 만들어 시뮬레이션하는 기술이다. 이지스는 자체 지리정보시스템(GIS) 엔진 기술로 3D ...

In den vergangenen Jahren gab es in Deutschland immer wieder Sturzfluten mit zum Teil verheerenden Auswirkungen. Ausgelöst wurden sie durch lokalen Starkregen. Eine Warnung vor solchen Ereignissen ist bisher oft nicht möglich, weil ihre Entstehung kompliziert ist und sie meist schnell und räumlich stark begrenzt auftreten. Ein neues Forschungsprojekt soll diese Lücke im Warnsystem schließen. ...

The Fraser Valley Regional District has updated its emergency map with historic flood markers. The updated FVRD Emergency Status Map was made available this month, just as those living and working near the Fraser River and its tributaries have been keeping a close eye on the spring freshet. It can be used to view important ...

La directora del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional, Celeste Saulo, encabezó el evento en el Edificio Libertador con la presencia del Embajador de Japón en Argentina, Takahiro Nakamae. El Proyecto Pronóstico y Alerta de Eventos de Inundaciones Repentinas (PREVENIR) es una una iniciativa de investigación conjunta la Agencia de Cooperación Internacional del Japón (JICA), la Agencia de ...

In June, days of heavy rains and snowmelt led to the flooding of Yellowstone River and rivers in other parts of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, causing what the U.S. Geological Survey referred to as a “1 in 500-year event.” The flooding destroyed bridges, swept away roads, spurred mudslides, led to the evacuation of more than ...

This year, a research institute hopes social media can play a more practical role – asking residents to tweet details about floods in their neighbourhoods and using the data to issue geographically specific flood alerts in real-time. Around the world in countries including Australia and Indonesia, climate researchers are increasingly using data gathered via social ...

As Fairfax County finalizes its first-ever plan to address the future effects of climate change, community members can see how the phenomenon already affects them with a newly released interactive map.
