[I used to shore dive in the Straits Of Juan de Fucca, Washington State side, and Crescent Lake - so I chose that area as a CoNED example to explore; good memories, including of the 18 Wheeler Burger with pie & coffee in Joyce, WA on drizzly days]

🚴‍♂️🔍🥱 So apparently, everyone was losing sleep over the "vital" need for more precise #elevation #data in GraphHopper's routing engine. Because, clearly, your #cycling route simply isn't complete without knowing that hill is exactly 2.34567 meters high. 🌍🚫

More Precise Elevation Data - GraphHopper Directions API

GraphHopper is used for many use cases and various companies around the globe have integrated it to provide outdoor trip planning for their customers. They all rely on precise elevation data: be it for displaying purposes, statistics regarding the incline, for bike routing to avoid hills or to better estimate energy usage of electric vehicles. […]

The growth of #RhododendronAureum and its precipitation sensitivity are more influenced by #Elevation, co-regulated by #SoilProperties and plant size traits in alpine tundra; Soil conditions and leaf economic traits influence temperature sensitivity.

Neogene Uplift Of The Chiribiquete Tabletop Mountains In The Colombian Amazon And Its Paleobiogeographic Implications

H/T Richard F. Ott
“The Chiribiquete are table top mountains located deep in the Colombian Amazon and host many rare endemic species. Helanlin Xiang's work shows that the Chiribiquete Mountains likely upifted before the Early Miocene and could have acted as a long-lived stepping stone, connecting species in the Andes with the Guyana Shield…”

#Elevation - Linea di sopravvivenza

Ennesimo film post-apocalittico.
Un massiccio esercizio di "sospensione della realtà" non basta a salvare un film piatto e con poche idee.

📝Voto: 5 /¹⁰
"Elevation" di George Nolfi, 91 minuti, 2014.
-Un padre single e due donne escono dalla sicurezza delle loro case per affrontare creature mostruose e salvare la vita…- da themoviedb.org
