Compressed image formats are a great way to reduce file size without sacrificing image quality. There are several compressed image formats that are commonly used in GIS (Geographic Information System) applications. #gischat #geospatial #gis
ECW (Enhanced Compression Wavelet) is a proprietary compressed image format developed by ERDAS. It's commonly used for compressing large raster images, such as satellite imagery and aerial photography. ECW files can be handled by software ArcGIS, Global Mapper, and ERDAS Imagine.
MrSID (Multiresolution Seamless Image Database): LizardTech's proprietary format that is similar to ECW. It's commonly used for compressing large raster images and can be handled by software such as ArcGIS and Global Mapper.
Here is a more comprehensive list of plugins for land use and land cover (LULC) analysis in QGIS. The selection of plugins depends on the specific research question and the type of data available. #gischat #geospatial #GIS #LULCanalysis #QGIS
Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin (SCP): This plugin provides a user-friendly interface for supervised and unsupervised classification of remote sensing images. It includes a wide range of classification algorithms.#gischat #geospatial #GIS #LULCanalysis #QGIS 
Land Cover Classification System (LCCS): This plugin allows users to classify land cover based on a standardized classification system developed by the FAO. It includes a set of rules and guidelines for classifying land cover.#gischat #geospatial #GIS #LULCanalysis #QGIS

Your #geospatial portfolio is proof that you know & understand #GIS concepts, so how do you build one?
If you are wondering what kinds of projects you can do to populate your geospatial portfolio and also gain knowledge as you do them.
Do not look too far, open this thread.

The fundamental thing about projects in GIS terrain is that all your project must have a study area. A study area is a place within the earth surface that you choose to perform your analysis on. E.g Landslide Susceptibility mapping in "South Eastern Nigeria...
South east is my study area here.
So, all your projects must have that and that's at your discretion.

Tutorial Thread🧵 on how to create Climate maps using R Language specifically ClimateR🌧️🌤️ package created by Mike Johnson...In this tutorial I'm going to use The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦#gischat #cartography #GIS #geospatial #Remotesensing #dataviz #R #rspatial #mapping
So At first Climate R is package created specifically to deal with climate illustration ......So in order to get it working you have to Have Remote package already and you have to Install Using the codes below.
So after that were going prepare the Tempreture illustration in which they are three ways of illustrating Mean Tempreture(One map),Annual Tempreture(Mutiple Maps) and Monthly Tempreture.

The #30DayMapChallenge 2022 starts tomorrow. In the last 2 years a lot of work has been put in @Stata to mainstream some of the map elements we find in other softwares. He is a 🧵 on the different types of maps one can make. If you want the code for any, just msg! Let's go 👇
The basic #spmap package can already do a lot! Here are some examples using standard spmap syntax.
These were made for the online #GIS tutorials earlier this year that were fairly well attended! Over 1400+ registrations and 500+ ppl online. Might repeat it again.

Planners, #policymakers, #gis and #dataviz people of twitter, @TrivikV @mikhailsirenko and I released a new #opensource project: CityAccessMap. It's an open source #webapplication that visualizes urban #accessibility insights for almost every city in the globe 🌐.

Seit Jahren hat die #spoe zum ersten Mal wieder einmal einen populistischen Knaller: Direkt Zahlungen senken keine Preise und überhaupt sollte die Mehrwertsteuer ausgesetzt werden. Was ist dran? 2/24
Gar nichts, außer rote Luft, statt schwarzer Luft. Beide Maßnahmen wirken indirekt. Beide Maßnahmen wirken ähnlich, und können sinnvoll sein, wobei eine UST Senkung klarer Weise wesentliche komplexer ist. Aber nicht in Österreich, wohin würden wir denn da kommen? 3/24
Climate Economics and Finance are completely ignored by the private sector based financial sector and other economic sector participants.
The climate-related financial disclosures aka #TFCDs and other nudges, being promoted by different global financial institutions and economic blocs, have not yet reached many countries.
Most banks and other firms are now investing in climate-related risk modelling and stress testing.
Central Banks in the Third World should ask licensed banks to do the same to promote a Green, Clean, and Care Economy.

Today marks 20 yrs of #remission from #Crohns. For some #IBD patients, remission feels like an elusive thing. I get it, I’ve had my share of time in the #ICU. I’m extremely fortunate that #Remicade has worked this long. Many people must switch meds to find a lasting solution. 1/n
The last 20 yrs haven’t come w/o complications. A sustained high quality of life was worth the trade offs that come with #biologics. I lived with recurrent infections and a #cancer diagnosis. Was it challenging? Yes. Was it better than living with flares? Absolutely. 2/n
There isn’t a day that I don’t think of those that weren’t as lucky. Alex Davidson, Ty Redler, Lacey Conners and Lindsey D’Ercole were younger than me and have since passed from IBD complications. In spite of some survivor’s guilt, I do my best to keep their memory alive.💜 3/n

Der ursprüngliche Anlass zu der Umfrage war die Frage, ob bestimmte WMSe in daten.berlin.de aus dem Portal entfernt werden sollten, weil es sich bei ihnen nicht um Open Data im eigentlichen Sinne (maschinenlesbar, strukturiert) handelt. 2/12
