This document discusses the development of unmanned vehicles for geo-environmental hazard assessment. Specifically, it details the development of a prototype unmanned ground vehicle called GeoBot and unmanned aerial vehicle called GeoCopter by undergraduate interns in 2014-2015. The goal was to create interchangeable sensor platforms that could be mounted on various unmanned vehicles to help evaluate geohazards. Case studies are provided on how GeoBot was used to investigate sinkholes and GeoCopter was used for photogrammetry and remote sensing to map landslides and rockfalls. The document advocates for unmanned vehicles as low-cost, high-resolution tools to access hazardous sites and collect temporal data for monitoring geohazards and failures.

Distribution of Oil spill off-shore Lebanon using Remote Sensing.
Oil and chemical spill in the marine environment have a widespread disaster. Real-time oil spill detection and monitoring using high special and spectral resolution severely remote sensing images to predict spill oil location. Build an oil spill distribution map by using GIS. Coastal states use both aerial and satellite remote sensing, this technique is also the dominant method of detection of oil slicks worldwide.

Long duration, lighter than air, stratospheric airships might offer a unique and compelling platform for a wide range of Earth science and astrophysics. There is also great commercial opportunity in stratospheric, stationary platforms that can remain aloft for months or even years at a time. A 2013 Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) series of workshops (http://kiss.caltech.edu/programs.html#airships) brought together a number of scientists and aerospace industry professionals to discuss this potential. The report from that study (http://kiss.caltech.edu/papers/airships/papers/airships.pdf) identified the need for a graduated approach to developing the necessary technology and recommended a funded challenge as one way to meet this need. The NASA Centennial Challenge office funded development of the Airships-20-20-20 Challenge, but NASA ultimately decided not to pursue the Challenge. I will describe the science enabled by airships and the proposed Challenge.
This environment GIS database is very accurate and complete. It was realized by compiling information and maps supplied by oil & gas companies at request of the government, by many departments of the government, by non-governmental organizations.
This database was completed by remote sensing analysis, satellite images digital mapping and field surveys. It is in compliance with the directives of IPIECA (International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association) and information is both in French and English.
The "PUN" Project (Gabon Urgency National Plan) includes a section about coastal sensitivity in case of oil pollution. The objective of this study was to establish an operational document to make decisions and act in case of accidental pollution, and to set the limits of the environmental and socio-economical coastal impact.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is experiencing steadily growing interest over the recent years. For good reason, since these innovative algorithms and methods, such as machine learning and deep neural networks, in which knowledge is acquired and applied based on data, enable the automation of a wide range of processes and quickly deliver precise results. AI is also getting more and more popular in the space sector. The Institute of Space Technology & Space Applications (ISTA) at the Universität der Bundeswehr in Munich is conducting research around AI for space operations, science, and technology. An overview of activities and current developments towards fault management, autonomous collision avoidance, autonomous landing, as well as radio science at ISTA will be presented.

Now your employees have direct access to physicians 24/7/365 via email / phone / video for diagnosing and treating acute care illnesses. Americans are becoming price conscious purchasers of healthcare.
Employers who implement a Telemedicine program are able to lower healthcare costs, reduce medical absenteeism, increase employee productivity and overall plan satisfaction.
Use Telemedicine When You:
- Need basic medical care 24/7
- Don’t want to go to the emergency room or urgent care center
- Can't get timely appointment with your primary care physician
- Need Rx prescription/refills* for common conditions
- Can't afford the cost of office visit due to high deductible or no insurance coverage
- Can't afford to take off time from work
- Traveling and in need of medical care
Healthcare in the United States is in a transformational period
One of the central tenets of the ACA is to utilize technology to improve efficiencies within the healthcare system.
Telemedicine is a true Win-Win for employers and employees alike.

SPARK 2016: Headline Testing May Be The Single Most Impactful Thing You Can DoTrackMaven
See Ory Rinat's presentation from Spark 2016, TrackMaven's annual digital marketing summit focused on the intersection of marketing art and science. Learn more at spark.trackmaven.com
Headlines have to live on their own – unlike in the print world where they were attached to your article and content. They travel across the web, asking readers for their click. Our research has shown that just changing a headline can swing engagement with a piece of content by 30%. So we test our headlines. A lot. Learn how we quickly and cheaply run A/B tests on our headlines, and see some of the key takeaways we apply as a result.
SPARK 2016: Inbound Marketing vs Account Based Marketing: A False Choice?TrackMaven
See Joe Chernov's presentation from Spark 2016, TrackMaven's annual digital marketing summit focused on the intersection of marketing art and science. Learn more at spark.trackmaven.com
We marketers are prone to FCS: False Choice Syndrome. Our programs are paid or organic, inbound or outbound, left brain or right brain. A similar zero sum situation has emerged over the past year: inbound / content marketing or account-based marketing. For most companies, absolutes are impediments to success. A blend of strategies is generally the best path. This example-rich session will explore the relationship between inbound marketing and content marketing and highlight ways to strike a balance.
UAVs are a disruptive technology bringing new geographic data and information to many application domains. UASs are similar to other geographic imagery systems so existing frameworks are applicable. But the diversity of UAVs as platforms along with the diversity of available sensors are presenting challenges in the processing and creation of geospatial products. Efficient processing and dissemination of the data is achieved using software and systems that implement open standards. The challenges identified point to the need for use of existing standards and extending standards. Results from the use of the OGC Sensor Web Enablement set of standards are presented. Next steps in the progress of UAVs and UASs may follow the path of open data, open source and open standards.
Aerial photogrammetry vs. terrestrial photogrammetryNI BT
The photogrammetry is broadly classified into two types as Aerial Photogrammetry and Terrestrial Photogrammetry. Aerial and Terrestrial photogrammetry are used for mapping and measurement related issues. Aerial is far range & terrestrial is close range photogrammetry
This presentation about photogrammetry survey, this presentation gives a complete detail of photogrammetry survey. Photogrammetry survey is a powerful technique used in various industries to obtain accurate measurements and three-dimensional (3D) data from photographs. It involves the process of extracting precise geometric information from images using specialized software, providing a cost-effective and efficient method for capturing and analysing spatial data.
