Achieving Image Analysis in a Post-Covid WorldFriday, June 12th, 2020The Geospatial Distancing series from L3Harris Geospatial recently conducted a panel discussion webinar entitled, “How will image analysis get done in a post-COVID world?”  James Webb Space Telescope, NASA, L3Harris Bentley Systems: Geospatial, Civil Engineering and the Digital TwinFriday, May 29th, 2020Francois Valois, vice president, Civil Engineering with Bentley Systems spoke at Bentley’s recent Civil Design Virtual Press Briefing about the current state of civil engineering and how we now need to do things differently. Civil infrastructure will continue to need to accelerate, according to Valois. “There has been an enormous infrastructure deficit over the years. Any time we stop accelerating we make the problem worse. Now we have social distancing, and funding challenges. Projects may be funded by a special tax on gas, for example. In addition to this, we have to stay home and when we’re onsite we must have less people onsite and find new ways to work. Our answer is the digital twin, and helping our users to go digital.”  Digital Bridge Mapping Hot Spots Using Satellites to Prepare for UK Summer HeatwaveFriday, May 15th, 2020Bristol, UK, Earth observation company 4 Earth Intelligence has created a UK street level map of ‘at risk’ areas to help plan for and manage the effects of extreme hot weather conditions using satellites. Their Heat Hazard Postcode data is being made available free at the point of use to national organizations and multi-agency partnerships, such as Local Resilience Forums, that are currently battling the coronavirus pandemic. Created with support from the Ordnance Survey through their Covid-19 Response licensing, the data is expected to be helpful in determining geographic areas experiencing extreme heat this summer.
