Terrain analysis involves extracting useful information from elevation data, typically using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Three of the most common terrain analysis outputs are: 1. Slope 2. Aspect 3. Hillshade Tools for Terrain Analysis: You can perform terrain analysis…
Network analysis is a key part of geographic information systems (GIS) and transportation planning. It uses graph theory to model and analyze the movement of people, goods, and services over a network (like roads, pipelines, or public transit systems). Here…
Interpolation and surface analysis are powerful techniques used in geographic information systems (GIS), environmental science, meteorology, and other fields to estimate unknown values across a geographic area based on known sample data points. Here’s a breakdown of key concepts and…
Buffering and Proximity Analysis in GIS: A Complete Guide Introduction In the world of spatial analysis, understanding how features relate to one another in space is critical. Whether you’re planning urban infrastructure, monitoring environmental impacts, or analyzing customer locations, buffering…
Overlay analysis is a core technique in spatial analysis within Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It involves placing multiple spatial layers on top of one another to identify relationships between them, helping to analyze spatial patterns and draw conclusions. Definition: Overlay…
What is Geospatial Data Interoperability? Geospatial data interoperability refers to the ability of different geographic information systems (GIS) and technologies to access, exchange, interpret, and use geospatial data consistently across platforms, applications, and organizational boundaries. Interoperability is critical for: The…
Data Quality, Accuracy, and Uncertainty in Geographic Information Systems Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become indispensable tools for spatial analysis, decision-making, and resource management across numerous fields. However, the reliability and effectiveness of GIS-based analyses fundamentally depend on the quality…
Metadata standards are structured frameworks for describing geospatial data. They ensure consistency, interoperability, and discoverability of datasets. Two of the most widely recognized standards for geospatial metadata are FGDC and ISO 19115. FGDC (Federal Geographic Data Committee) Standard ISO 19115…
Here’s a quick overview of common geospatial data formats, each suited for different types of geographic data and use cases: 1. Shapefile (.shp, .shx, .dbf, etc.) 2. GeoJSON (.geojson or .json) 3. KML (Keyhole Markup Language) (.kml, .kmz) 4. TIFF…
Crowdsourced geographic data in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) refers to spatial information collected, shared, or validated by the general public—often using internet-connected devices such as smartphones. This type of data is also called Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and plays a…
