Geographic Information Systems are a key asset in processing georeferenced data, whose collection and availability increased exponentially during the last decade, and is still rapidly growing, taking advantage of ICT technologies (especially with smartphones). The field of health and healthcare was not inert to this development: in particular, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are taking advantage […]

The United Nations has been using GIS software for the past two decades to enhance the operational capacity of its operations in the field missions and the UNHQ. GIS and remote sensing plays an integral role in consuming and procession a vast amount of information and presenting it in an easy visual format that enhances […]

Entered into force in 2007, the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) aims to create a pan-European Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to support the European Union environmental policies. INSPIRE is the largest effort ever undertaken to create an SDI and is currently seen as a worldwide reference model for similar interoperability initiatives. The infrastructure […]

The key to sustainable development is achieving a balance between the exploitation of natural resources for socioeconomic development and maintaining ecosystem services that are critical to human’s wellbeing and livelihoods. Some of these environmental issues can be monitored using remotely sensed Earth Observations (EO) data that are increasingly available from freely and openly accessible repositories. […]
