“Rivers are critical resources that affect everything from watersheds to agriculture to energy. But rivers, in turn, have been impacted by humans, often in the form of hydraulic infrastructure such as dams and wells.
A new [Cornell] project… will create a global record that shows how river systems around the world have changed under human influence over the last 75 years…”

One more quick byproduct of my MDEM development: a bivariate map integrating volumetric structural data (SAR) with surface temperature (LST). This approach identifies the exceptionally intensive dissipative role of volumetric vegetation structure (trees and tall shrubs). By accounting for these high-performance cooling elements, we can better understand how they supplement traditional landscaping to enhance the city's overall thermal resilience.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@geonews/116216592038864312

My instinct is that this true of any sort of AI system and the people who use it:

“Geospatial intelligence is not simply about processing data; it’s about understanding the place, the relationships, patterns, and contextual nuances that supply data meaning. AI can accelerate analysis, but it cannot replace the interpretive skill, legacy knowledge, and discernment of geospatial professionals.”

I love the regular #OSM website updates posted on the forum, great to peruse the incremental changes that keep making the public face of #OpenStreetMap better, and to see recognition of all contributors. ❤️

What’s new on the OpenStreetMap website?

More MapLibre, smoother experience, a bunch of fixes It’s that time again, when we highlight the work made by contributors to the OSM Website. Here they are! Towards MapLibre We continue a careful transition to use MapLibre in all instances of the slippy map. Still some way to go; here is how it went this month: We fixed some issues with the map controls, including visual styling fixes and making sure they are visible on the map for user diary entries.
