The MapScaping Podcast - GIS, Geospatial, Remote Sensing, earth observation and digital geography

The way in which we sub-divide land into geographic regions that can be owned and used in specific ways has far-reaching consequences. Collecting, cleaning, and stitching property boundaries into a seamless fabric is key to a variety of use cases. Jerry Paffendorf, CEO & Co-Founder of Loveland Technologies, who runs LandGrid.com joins me on the podcast today to talk about the far-reaching implications of the land grid.   Join the email list and I will send you the show notes from this episode  https://mapscaping.com/podcast   Happy to connect with you on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielodonohue/  

Julia Wagemann, a geospatial expert, discusses the power of Jupyter notebooks for GIS data projects. They explore the different components of the Jupyter project and how they can be used for coding, teaching, and collaboration. Tailoring communication, using dashboards for decision makers, and the future of Jupyter notebooks are also discussed.

Aerial collection of data from smart meters. In this episode, we discuss why this is better than mesh networks, and other ground collection options and also look at the limitations of drones in terms of data collection platforms.    Join the email list for the opportunity to get on a one-to-one call with this week's guest! https://mapscaping.com/podcast   Happy to connect with you on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielodonohue/

Digital twins have been around for a long time, as part of a simulation or analytical view of the real world.  They provide simulation and analysis capabilities that can be a fancy 3D hologram that you can touch and feel and move things around or a numeric model that runs on Excel.      Can I email you the show notes?  just follow the link https://mapscaping.com/podcast   Happy to connect with you on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielodonohue/

Anita Graser, a legendary open-source geospatial Python expert, discusses the popularity and benefits of Python in geospatial analysis. They delve into topics such as getting started with Python for geospatial analysis, an introduction to Gopandas, the challenges and honor of inheriting work, when Python may not be the right answer, and the use of Python in geospatial data analysis with the 'moving pandas' library.

Discover two open-source mobile data collection apps, QField and Input, that are part of the QGIS ecosystem. The episode covers their features, customization options, and offline capabilities. Learn about setting up data for mobile collection, advancements in these apps, and how they empower communities to participate in data collection efforts.

learn why GIS geospatial technology is being underutilized, Why GIS professionals need to rebrand themselves and why communication skills might be the next big thing in the geospatial industry. Resources and show notes are available here

Today we're going to be talking about those early amphibians coming out of the primordial ooze up onto the shore and that would be the CAD files and then being transformed into maybe the mammals that are the GIS files the CAD people will be mad at me for that analogy, but hey, look, the crocodiles are still around so you know, they don't go anywhere. Can I send you all the resources mentioned in this episode?  How to Convert CAD to GIS while Preserving Rich Data Structures How to Convert GIS to CAD while Maintaining Data Quality Webinar - May 13: How to Automate CAD & GIS Integration  Resources for COVID-19 (This is where we're giving away free FME licenses until at least September 30, 2020)   

Scott Nowicki, an expert in robotics coupled with remote sensing, discusses the use of robots in facilities management, including monitoring substations. The podcast explores the advantages of using robots, challenges in analyzing data, and the potential value in preventing power outages. It also delves into the future of spatial problem-solving in facilities management and power network monitoring during natural disasters.
