Protecting Nature for tomorrow Have you ever wanted to explore a far flung location, see animals in their natural habitat? When you think of the African savanna you think of the African lion, Rhinos, Cheetahs, and the African Elephant. Or perhaps diving in the turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean among sea turtles coral reefs […]

Same Tools, Different Worlds
Have you ever laid in the grass on a warm summer night and looked up at the stars and wondered about what was waiting out in all that darkness? Did you ever wonder what it would be like to walk on another world and look back at our blue-green world through another sky? I have […]
Multi-Rotor vs. Fixed Wing UAV Platforms: Considerations for Evaluating Capabilities and Limitations
Using the correct equipment is critical to the success of any project. UAV projects are no different, knowing how to select the best tool for each specific application is fundamental to efficient data collection. We use both multi-rotor and fixed wing UAV equipment, depending on project goals and constraints. Below are some considerations for selecting […]

Archaeologists Use Lasers To Discover A Lost City
Imagine for a moment walking through a dense and lush jungle landscape. You come across a deteriorating shell of a building long reclaimed by nature. In your mind, you can almost see how some of the other jungle formations could be other structures. You wonder if this could be more than just this simple shell of a long-forgotten […]
First Look: Electric Distribution Data Management for ArcGIS Online
If you work in the utility sector, specifically electricity, you have more than likely heard of Esri’s Utility Network and may have been interested in implementing it within your organization. ArcGIS Enterprise may not be feasible at this point in time, and you may need a solution that’s fully accessible by field crews. If that […]
Happy Star Wars Day 2021!
Three Times When Thinking Spatially Saved the Day in the Star Wars Universe May 4th of every year is considered “Star Wars Day” (May the fourth be with you!), and this provides a great opportunity to seek wisdom from this iconic universe. How have GIS, Mapping, and spatial thinking affected significant moments across the various […]
Where Is Your Data? CAD to GIS Conversion
If you work in a GIS or Engineering field, you are likely incredibly familiar with either CAD or GIS, but behind the curve when it comes to the other. This makes sense and is completely understandable when your work focuses more on one program. CAD, or Computer Aided Drawing, is a program used by a […]
Sharing (GIS Data) is Caring
Sharing data can be a touchy subject. In general, it seems that people and institutions do not like their research and findings being freely accessible to the public. If you have worked on any project requiring data you could not collect on your own, you have more than likely jumped onto the World Wide Web […]
Making the point with UAV
A question came up recently in a conversation about the different products and stages of processing and presenting data captured by UAVs. I’ll use a recent construction monitoring project to demonstrate some nice examples of the various stages of the photogrammetric processing workflow. This will also show and describe some of the products and deliverables […]
