Interesting event of European Space Agency in Bilbao this fall 29-31 October. "A unique opportunity to build cross-sector relationships, learn, and explore how research in the unique environment of space is creating opportunities to meet key challenges here on Earth, and how you could get involved". How can we combine remote sensing imagery from new satellite sensors  with ordinary ground zero data? Raster Imagery (DTM, Infrared, ...) + Ground zero sensors (Air pollution, smartphones,..)  The development of next gen remote sensing technologies particularly new sensors optimised in different wavelength regions of the electromagnetic spectrum will enhance the performance of future MCE analysis in environment, health (Spatial distribution patterns of diseases), climate change and sustainable urban management.

What is a  Land Suitability Assesment?: Also known as layer-based GIS, this is the most frequent form of geographic-data space representation. Particularly, LSA (Land Suitability Assessments) is a very complex analysis in which the overlapping of thematic maps result helpful. The analysis is based on the combination of different thematic layers such as topographic, geologic or drainage as well as in their interpretation independently from one to another. Wind Farm location selection: Land suitability analysis. wind farm UK Criteria to locate a wind farm in Europe differ a little bit from one country to another. In the case of the British Isles, the British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) estimates that the extension average of a wind farm with 20 turbines is "1" square kilometer (BWEA). The principal objective was to locate a suitable area to construct a 90 MW Wind Farm. The analysis was divided into two levels: A national level to obtain p...
