Nasa research Antarctic’s ice flow

A NASA study based on an innovative technique for crunching torrents of satellite data provides the clearest picture yet of changes in Antarctic ice flow into the ocean. The findings confirm accelerating ice losses from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and reveal surprisingly steady rates of flow from its much larger neighbor to the east.

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
