5. GIS provides the technology for abstracting geography
and a language for organizing and applying Geographic Knowledge
Modeling our world . . .
. . . a platform for understanding
. . . and taking action
Geography is the science of our world
. . . providing a way to organise our knowledge…
helping us Interoperate across every discipline

Coastal changes
The issue
• Nearly 20,000 miles of coastline
• Large GDP & environmental impact
• Mega-projects impacting delta
areas (hydro-dams etc)
The innovation
• 30+ years of Landsat & Sentinel
data analysed
• Brought to decision making
workflows via ArcGIS
The users

Food security
The issue
• Population of 1.2 billion
• Existing issues being exaggerated
through climate change
• Knowing what food is where, stock
levels, health
The innovation
• Simple field collection to identify staple
food stocks
• Earth observation data plus ArcGIS
used to detect change, field
boundaries, crop health
The users
• Kenya tracking food staples supply
chain
• Ethiopia monitoring crop health and
yields

Climate change
community
The issue
• Climate is a huge topic with a huge
audience spread across a continent
• Lots of open data and existing work
plus active geospatial community
The innovation
• Bring climate community together.
www.africageoportal.com
• Educating on geospatial technology
for decision making
The users
• 1000s accessing open data, tools
and learning to fight their local
climate challenges
