GIS was an essential tool for the author in their role developing wind farm projects at Eolectric. The author used GIS for 50% of their work, which included tasks like identifying suitable sites, evaluating wind resources, assessing environmental constraints, designing wind farm layouts including turbine and road placement, and creating maps for public permitting and internal analysis. GIS allowed the author to efficiently manage spatial data, create customized maps for different audiences and purposes, and iteratively evaluate and modify wind farm designs.
Mapping Brazil in Scale 1:250.000 - A RealitySafe Software
This session aims to present the BC250 project of IBGE. This project generated a new digital mapping of the whole Brazilian territory in a 1:250.000 scale with the aid of orbital sensors, DEM and FME. The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing are important tools to systematic mapping, these kinds of technologies contributed to increase the production and aquisition of new data faster than used to be. This new digital mapping is the first one provided on the standard called EDGV. This project is part of a new structure of collect, integration and store geospatial data, which in Brazil it is call INDE. The project started in 2008 and on October's 2013, with help of FME that provided workflows capable to create a digital continuous base, the whole country is avaiable on the internet. The 1:250.000 scale is important because it has the power of subsidize the regional planning and helps on studies and projects that’s involve environmental polices.

Sustainable Land Management Session - EU Space Week 2018, Marseille
A presentation about how data from Digimap has helped to find quarries used in the production of stone for Hadrian's Wall. The research was carried out by Kathleen O'Donnell as part of her MSC and will be continued in a PhD.
Application of GIS in Modelling Landuse Changes Of Gurupavanapuri, Kerala, IndiaSharik Shamsudhien
The Project Presentation focuses on the land use and land cover change pattern of Gurupavanapuri and environs, an area which is in the State of Kerala , India.
The work was mainly aimed to identify the rapid urbanization that took over in the Gurupavanapuri and its environs during the year 2002 and 2017 and on analysis there was a clear reduction of natural vegetated area due to the human influenced constructions.
The Project was completed using The ArcGis which is a GIS application. Remote Sensing data collection, such as SRTM DEM, ETOPO1 data (Bathymetry and Oceanic bedrock surface) has been achieved.

Training from 220kv GSS Sanganer, which is located on Muhana Road, JaipurR-One Power
The technology all about GSS System and their operating system.
In the presentation all about the GSS and their instrument which has used in GSS for operation and controlling the whole system.
I hope this presentation helpfull to all those students, who had their training from Sanganer 220kv GSS.
Oldest branch of engineering, next to Military engineering. All engineering works other than for military purposes were grouped in to Civil Engineering. Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics & present day Information technology followed it.
A professional engineering discipline that deals with the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of infrastructural facilities such as buildings, bridges, dams, roads etc.
Civil Engineering is everywhere. Civil Engineering is a composite of many specific disciplines that include structural engineering, water engineering, waste material management and engineering, foundation engineering etc. among many.
