2015 FOSS4G Track: Developing, Exploring, and Utilizing a National Web-Based ...GIS in the Rockies
The USFS Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program provides a systematic protocol for forest field data collection to serve as the census for forest information and support proper management. This wealth of data has been analyzed to provide wall-to-wall spatial GIS coverage of forest carbon estimates across the lower 48 U.S. states to support Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory. Through a research agreement and collaboration with the University of Minnesota (UMN), this project provided a 21st century “digital experience and distribution” of the Forest Carbon Estimation in the FIA program rather than static maps and tables by developing an online, mobile/web browser map application (app). This web and mobile software tool enables the public to learn about carbon and how much is stored in a nearby forest. The data is presented to the user interactively on a map along with charts, graphs, and links to related resources. The intended audience is anyone interested in exploring forest carbon information.
The tool is a web browser map application for smartphones, tablets, and desktop use. It primarily works online but also offline with simplified functionality. This provides any range of users with access to the carbon summaries in the field and at the desk. The app also provides education links to NFS carbon assessment whitepapers and FIA protocols.
Join this session to learn about the development of this exciting new database and app and how to explore carbon in forests near you or nationally.

2013 URISA Track, Asset and Infrastructure Mobile Mapping by Christopher Aldr...GIS in the Rockies
AIMM: An image based approach to precision mobile mapping for asset and infrastructure information. Asset management has become a key component of many municipalities survival in the recent difficult economic times. Most things have a life expectancy and being able to keep track of when you are nearing the end of that life expectancy allows you to plan for the orderly inspection, repair, replacement of that particular piece of infrastructure, in turn minimizing your cost and preventing a catastrophic failure. The combination of the advancements in digital imagery, photogrammetry, and computer vision have met in a perfect storm to provide an image based mobile mapping solution that can produce a 360 degree imagery view for the extraction of precise 3D geolocated point data, vectors, and point clouds. The technology lends itself extraordinarily well to asset and inventory mapping as well as numerous other applications.

GIS is a collection of software, hardware, data, and personnel used to store, manipulate, analyze and present geospatial data. Its major objectives are to maximize efficiency, integrate multiple data sources, enable complex analysis, and minimize redundant data. A GIS has hardware, software, data, procedures, and personnel. It then discusses applications of GIS in transportation, water resource engineering, urban planning, construction, and analysis.
EDINA seeks to enhance research and education through providing access to scholarly resources and tools. Geospatial technology is an important skill in many jobs and students need exposure to its potential. Emerging technologies like augmented reality using smartphone sensors have potential to enhance teaching and learning, but issues around licensing, connectivity and usability need addressing first.
This document discusses the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for various purposes. It begins by outlining six principles for GIS use, including thinking spatially, using data appropriately, and believing in data sharing. It then covers what GIS is, its components and applications for fields like environmental impact assessment, social sciences, natural resource management, disaster risk reduction, participatory planning, and decision support/public policy. Specific examples discussed include using GIS for flood mapping, natural resource management, understanding disease spread, and evaluating government programs for tribal communities. The document emphasizes how GIS can help improve decision-making by integrating spatial data from various sources.
Deforestation negatively impacts the environment in several ways:
1) Without trees to hold the soil, erosion increases, causing soil to wash into rivers which turns the water chalky.
2) Lack of oxygen in rivers kills plants and sea creatures like fish.
3) The disrupted food chain affects the whole ecosystem.

Deforestation has significant negative effects on animals by destroying their natural habitats in tropical forests, where over half of all animal and plant species live. This forces animals to relocate in search of food and shelter, sometimes moving into residential areas and creating dangerous situations. Examples of affected species include jaguars, hyacinth macaws, golden lion tamarins, and Amazon river dolphins. Deforestation upsets the balance of ecosystems and food chains that animals help maintain.
The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, spanning 9 countries in South America and encompassing 7 million square kilometers. It is home to 10% of all known species and produces 20% of the world's oxygen. However, the rainforest is being cut down at an alarming rate, with more than 3,200 square kilometers being deforested in just 5 months of 2007. At this pace, over half of the Amazon could be destroyed by 2030, endangering countless plants, animals, and ecosystems as well as the global climate.
Deforestation involves clearing forests by cutting and burning trees to make way for houses and apartments. It causes problems for the atmosphere and water by increasing carbon dioxide levels. While deforestation is a global issue, it particularly impacts rainforests in places like the Amazon and Africa where there is little legislation to protect forests. The presentation aims to show how severe deforestation is for rainforests using tools like RSS feeds, newsletters, and Google Alerts to monitor coverage about deforestation and its effects in locations like the Amazon Forest.
In this presentation, Ken Chomitz and Andrew Nelson from the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG), present their research findings on the effect of protected areas and the reduction of CO2 emissions from deforestation.
O documento discute o desmatamento da floresta amazônica, seus impactos ambientais e causas, incluindo o avanço da pecuária e agricultura, bem como cortes ilegais de madeira. A proteção da Amazônia é uma prioridade global devido aos seus imensos estoques de biodiversidade e serviços ecossistêmicos, como a regulação do clima. Soluções sustentáveis que promovam o desenvolvimento socioeconômico local são necessárias para conter o desmatamento.
Deforestation is the permanent removal of forests, mainly due to human activity like agriculture, logging, and urbanization. Tropical rainforests are particularly threatened, as 17% of the Amazon has been lost in the past 50 years mostly to cattle ranching. Deforestation causes environmental problems like changes to atmospheric conditions, hydrological cycles, soil health, and loss of biodiversity. The conclusion is that deforestation poses serious risks and everyone must make an effort to reduce forest clearing and burning to prevent further damage.

SDSC Technology Forum: Increasing the Impact of High Resolution Topography Da...OpenTopography Facility
High-resolution topography is a powerful tool for studying the Earth's surface, vegetation, and urban landscapes, with broad scientific, engineering, and educational-based applications. Over the past decade, there has been dramatic growth in the acquisition of these data for scientific, environmental, engineering and planning purposes. In the US, the U.S. Geological Society is undertaking the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) to map the entire lower 48 with lidar by 2023.
The richness of these topography datasets make them extremely valuable beyond the application that drove their acquisition and thus are of interest to a large and varied user community. A cyberinfrastructure platform that enables users to efficiently discover, access and process these massive volumes of data increases the impact of investments in collection of the data and catalyzes scientific discovery as well as informs critical decisions that are made across our Nation every day that depend on elevation data, ranging from immediate safety of life, property, and environment to long term planning for infrastructure projects.
Join us to hear about the motivations, technology, and data assets behind the National Science Foundation funded OpenTopography platform, which aims to democratize access to high resolution topographic data. OpenTopography’s innovation is in co-locating massive volumes of topographic data with processing tools that enable users with varied expertise and application domains to quickly and easily access and process data, to enable innovation and decision making.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
