Geoinformation job market – Spatialists – geospatial news

A new report commissioned by swisstopo analyses the #workforce situation in Switzerland’s #geoinformation sector and finds a field that’s largely stable while the overall higher education grows. With an unemployment rate of just 0.8% in 2024, the job market is (was?) tight and the pipelines of new professionals don’t seem to be keeping up.

#OpenData - #Geoinformation for Humanitarian Aid - New Global Satellite Dataset for Humanitarian Routing and Tracking Infrastructure Change - "A new global dataset released by the HeiGIT (Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology) makes it possible to distinguish between paved and unpaved roads worldwide with unprecedented consistency. Derived from high-resolution satellite imagery, the data enable more reliable routing, accessibility mapping, and tracking of infrastructure change over time, particularly in regions where on-the-ground information is scarce. [...] The dataset is openly available via the Humanitarian Data Exchange — the open data platform operated by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) — and will be updated annually." - HeiGIT (Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology) https://heigit.org/heigit-releases-global-satellite-dataset-for-humanitarian-routing-and-mapping-infrastructure-change/

#OpenData - #Geoinformation für humanitäre Hilfe - Neuer globaler Satellitendatensatz für Routenplanung humanitärer Einsätze und die Erfassung von Infrastrukturveränderungen - "Ein neuer globaler Datensatz des HeiGIT (Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology) ermöglicht es weltweit zwischen befestigten und unbefestigten Straßen mit bisher unerreichter Konsistenz zu unterscheiden. Die aus hochauflösenden Satellitenbildern abgeleiteten Daten erlauben eine verlässlichere Routenplanung, Erreichbarkeitsanalyse und die Erfassung von Infrastrukturveränderungen im Zeitverlauf, insbesondere in Regionen, in denen aktuelle Informationen vor Ort fehlen. [...] Der Datensatz ist frei verfügbar über die Humanitarian Data Exchange, die offene Datenplattform des United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), und wird jährlich aktualisiert." - HeiGIT (Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology) https://heigit.org/heigit-veroffentlicht-globalen-satellitendatensatz-fur-routenplanung-humanitarer-einsatze-und-die-erfassung-von-infrastrukturveranderungen/
