Khawla SASSI’s Post

#MemberSpotlight | 💬 ”The Singapore Parks and the Urban Redevelopment Agency delivered a fascinating joint presentation on their efforts to establish Singapore as a “City in Nature.” One of the most impressive aspects of their work is the comprehensive mapping of every tree in Singapore. Each tree is assigned a unique identifier, has been LiDAR-scanned, and is represented as a 3D digital twin. GIS plays a central role in this process, enabling the team to understand, catalog, plan, respond, and effectively manage the urban greenery,” said Brian Cross, Executive Director of Esri Professional Services.

**✨ Charting the Unseen, Shaping the Infinite: The Power of Geomatics** Imagine a world where every line, curve, and coordinate is a thread weaving the fabric of our planet’s story—a story of discovery, resilience, and hope. **Geomatics** is more than maps and measurements; it’s the art of unveiling the invisible and sculpting the possible. It’s how we: 🌍 **Decode the whispers of our Earth,** tracking its shifts and changes with precision. 🏙️ **Reimagine cities as ecosystems,** harmonizing technology with humanity. 🚀 **Navigate the cosmic unknown,** unlocking secrets of distant worlds. 🌱 **Illuminate sustainable pathways,** guiding us toward a greener tomorrow. To me, geomatics is poetry in motion—where data dances, visuals inspire, and solutions emerge. Each satellite image, every spatial model, is a compass pointing toward innovation, empathy, and progress. To my fellow dreamers in geomatics: 🌟 Let’s redefine what’s possible. 💡 Let’s innovate not just for today but for eternity. 🗺️ Let’s wield the power of geomatics to **map the uncharted** and **protect the irreplaceable.** The maps we create don’t just show where we are—they guide where we *can* be. Together, we’re shaping not just the Earth’s surface but its destiny. #Geomatics #Inspiration #Sustainability #MappingTheFuture

📋 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆!    After a review of science and policies on the three ecosystems we are studying, the identification of key early adopters and gaps in Earth-observation when tackling blue carbon from space, our ESA Coastal Blue Carbon project team is currently collecting data. Remote sensing methods for studying mangrove, tidal saltmarsh and seagrass ecosystems are quite different. Our teams are currently building a common approach that could be applied to these three ecosystems with methodologies that take into account their specificities.     Find our general approach for data collection below.    1️⃣ 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻    Teams from the Simon Fraser University, the IRD, the Centre for Advanced Studies of Blanes and the LIENSs (La Rochelle Université) are gathering all existing in situ datasets in selected tests sites in Canada, the French Atlantic Coast, French Guyana and Mediterranean Spain and France. They are currently going on the field to collect complementary in situ vegetation and blue carbon data. Together with i-Sea, they are collecting and centralizing all existing in situ data in test areas and pilot regions, and assessing their relevancy for the project.    Meanwhile teams from i-Sea and the IRD are collecting and archiving available Earth-observation data on the corresponding sites. They are evaluating the relevancy of some global EO-derived products (e.g. Copernicus Land Cover) for the project. They are collecting very high resolution (VHR) EO-data (through TPM, SEAS-Guyane, DINAMIS) and drone imagery, and checking EO data quality and associated environmental conditions (cloud coverage, tidal levels and coastal water transparency).    A common shared database is under preparation.    2️⃣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗖-𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝗮𝗽𝘀    The consortium will build models fed by ground truth and satellite data collection to produce tools featuring C-stock maps of the test sites studied. Three yearly maps of C-stocks between 2015 to 2025 will be produced.     3️⃣ 𝗨𝗽𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀    The second year of the project will be dedicated to upscaling maps from the test sites to pilot regions covering several thousand kilometers of coastline.    𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀!    #BlueCarbon #Space #Mangrove #Seagrass #Saltmarsh #Environment #ClimateChange #Conservation #RemoteSensing #NbS #NatureBasedSolutions 

Navigating the Dynamic Seas: The Imperative of Remote Sensing in Littoral and Maritime Analysis In the realm of littoral and maritime analysis, staying ahead of the curve is not just advantageous—it's essential. At CyOak Consulting, we recognize the critical role that remote sensing technology plays in providing timely and accurate insights into our coastal zones. However, what sets our approach apart is our understanding of the perishable nature of data in this dynamic environment. The littorals, where land and water meet, are among the most dynamic and complex ecosystems on our planet. From shifting shorelines to fluctuating marine habitats, environmental and human variables are in a constant state of progression and regression. In this ever-changing landscape, the need for effective and timely analysis is paramount. Remote sensing technology offers a unique vantage point, allowing us to observe and monitor the littorals with unprecedented detail and precision. From satellite imagery to aerial surveys, these tools provide a wealth of data on coastal dynamics, maritime activities, and environmental changes. At CyOak Consulting, we specialize in harnessing the power of remote sensing to provide actionable insights into littoral and maritime dynamics. Our team of experts combines cutting-edge technology with advanced analytics to deliver timely and accurate information to our clients. In a world where change is the only constant, effective littoral and maritime analysis is not just a luxury—it's a necessity. By embracing remote sensing technology and recognizing the perishable nature of data, we can navigate the dynamic seas with confidence, ensuring a sustainable future for our oceans and coastlines. #RemoteSensing #LittoralAnalysis #MaritimeTechnology #CyOakConsulting.

Day -#14 of #30daymapchallenge Today’s theme was #WorldMap, and I used ArcGIS to create a dynamic visualization of ocean flows across the globe. This map captures the intricate patterns of ocean currents and demonstrates the power of GIS in illustrating global phenomena. Mapping these flows not only enhances our understanding of marine ecosystems and climate dynamics but also shows the incredible detail we can achieve in geographic analysis. Ocean currents are vital to understanding weather patterns, marine life migration, and even the global climate. Using GIS tools to visualize this data opens doors to valuable insights in environmental science, oceanography, and beyond.

I am excited to share another small step toward addressing climate change. GIS is always in favor of climate change monitoring, and ESRI offers guidance on how to tackle the challenges. We are the guardians of our own world, as this is our planet and our home, and we are responsible for it. Previously, I worked on "Wind farm selection using geospatial technologies and energy generation capacity in Gwadar" as a tiny step towards reducing the impact of climate change on the earth. Now ESRI gives an opportunity to learn more skills to prevent the rapid change occurring in the climate. I want to express my gratitude, #ESRI, for this course. This course has enhanced my understanding of greenhouse gas emissions and other factors that are contributing to climate change. #ESRI #MOOC #GIS #Geo #Geospatial #Geography #Mapping #SpatialAnalysis #DataVisualization #GISCommunity #RemoteSensing #Cartography #imfarrukh #Cartography #ClimateChange #GISMapping #SustainableFuture #GeoSpatialData #ClimateAction #GreenPlanet #EnvironmentalScience #EarthData #SaveOurPlanet #ClimateCrisis #Windfarms #SMCA #windanalysis #SDSS #GISSpatialMulticriteriaanalysis #Gwadar #CPEC https://lnkd.in/dgQSFYUY
