In this exercise we will try to compare two of the best 3D Web Mapping APIs that currently exist on the market. We will focus on the main differences when it comes to data modeling, processing, symbolization and visualization. On the one hand, The JavaScript API is performing better when it comes of visualization and [...]

One of the latest application launched by Google is Google Earth Engine, an advanced cloud-based geospatial processing platform, designed mainly for planetary-scale environmental data analysis. It combines a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets, which allow users to visualize, manipulate, edit and create spatial data in an easy and fast way. It incorporates [...]

One main feature for a person who is starting to study Remote Sensing and GIS sciences, is to know how to download the most useful data for his corresponding study area. Getting to know the scales and resolutions that better fixes to that area, downloading the necessary features… and so on, we will cover them [...]

MGET is a set of tools that provides us the capability to download chlorophyll data. This kind of data is really important for modeling and visualizing raster layers according to the presence of chlorophyll on the map. To start with, we are going to search for NASA GSFC Ocean Color. This website hosts a great deal [...]

We have always heard about Open source inside the GIS sector, but when did they appear? what are they useful for? what is their future? […]
