Last June scientists warned that low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites constantly burning up in orbit could release chemicals that could undermine the progress we’ve made repairing the ozone layer. Rese…

Agricultural drones are transforming rice farming in the Mekong River delta, cutting down the amount of pesticides and fertilizers that wash into the ocean in the process.

Recently ESA published the results of a proof-of-concept study into monitoring marine litter using existing satellites, with promising results for the Mediterranean study area. For the study, six y…

Princeton Professors J. Richard Gott and Robert Vanderbei, in collaboration with David Goldberg of Drexel University, have designed a two-sided disk that minimizes the flaws of traditional flat maps.

Antennas provide the wireless linkage required for any satellite-based system. Here's a look at the many antennas of GPS.

Proba-3 will make its own solar eclipses—and assess precision orbital tech

Beneath the waves, the vast majority of the ocean is unknown. Seabed 2030 is using cutting-edge technologies to fill in the bathymetric blanks and fully map the seafloor.

Earth’s tremors can tweak your GPS coordinates.

Learn how to view areas of GPS jamming affecting aircraft around the world and how GPS jamming affects aviation.

How Germany lost its spirit of privacy in the face of technological progress.

Using Sentinel-1 radar imagery to make out the shapes of our changing seaborne energy system

Over a dozen methane satellites are now circling the Earth — and more are on the way.

A group of Wikipedia editors wrote 15,000 articles on US roads and highways. But after a fight over the platform's rules, they took a detour.

LiDAR technology has revolutionized Antarctica research, enabling detailed mapping of ice sheets, topography, and ecosystems

The exploration of oceanic resources through seismic methods necessitates precise seafloor geophone positioning. Traditional techniques, however, grapple with issues such as the influence of outliers, suboptimal use of precise observations, and the inefficiency of real-time data processing. These ch...

Cartography has become one of the most successful technologies for understanding the world around us. But like the world itself, maps and map-making are constantly evolving.

It remains unclear if there is a connection between the two events.

Google is planning to use satellite data, AI, and its computing power to map methane emissions around the globe in a new era of climate accountability.

The statistical evidence from 21 years of data suggests that a solar eclipse may trigger a geomagnetic substorm, which is a disturbance in the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere.

Color and light measurements will help scientists better assess how our oceans and atmosphere interact.

Among all of the visual information published by the U.S. government, there may be no product with a higher information density than the Federal Aviation Administration’s aviation maps.

A flexible web-based editor, converter, visualization tool, for geospatial data - placemark/placemark

NASA WorldWind Software Development Kits (SDKs) for geo-spatial 3D virtual globe visualization via OpenGL/WebGL on Android, Java and JavaScript/HTML5 platforms.

The four-color problem is simple to explain, but its complex proof continues to be both celebrated and despised.

4DModeller statistical modelling package

Welcome to a project I call #NoBadMaps. Here you will find brush sets and tools to create fantasy maps that can add a touch of historical authenticity to any project. All my brushes are released un…

<p>This book will teach you how to work with geographic data in Python. It’s a short and practical open source book in which you’ll develop and use geocomputation to solve practical problems and lay the foundations for advanced geospatial applications.</p>

True Anomaly Inc., a US startup designing military and intelligence space reconnaissance systems, raised $100 million from investors to ramp up output of a satellite that can track national threats in orbit.
