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.

Very interesting information resource on a key factor associated to #respiratory illnesses in the #EU.

Thinking about #GIS #FOSS ? When handling #sensitive Data in #healthcare or #critical #infrastructure management with national #security implications, software selection is a delicate question. https://twitter.com/MiguelFBonavia/status/1008668126991568897 Thinking about GIS FOSS?

Hi there As you know I have always believed in the combination of GIS platforms with the irruption of new technologies such as conversational interfaces. Since GIS next gen platforms are like " virtual canvases " , the combination of new technologies such as AR with GIS powerful digital chasis will support professionals in a wide range of sectors, from enhancing experiential tourism to improving Healthcare public services.   Augmented Reality + GIS

Lightning is a sudden high-voltage discharge of electricity that occurs within a cloud, between clouds, or between a cloud and the ground. Globally , there are about 40 to 50 flashes of lightning every second, or nearly 1.4 billion flashes per year. These electrical discharges are powerful and deadly.
