🔭 The State of Real Time GIS in 2025 (at least according to Esri)
If you didn't get a chance to attend the Esri 2025 UC, a big area of exploration has been real-time GIS applications.

🍃 Remote Sensing Applications: Monitoring Seabird Populations
As remote sensing systems become more widely available, new applications with these systems are being applied across more fields of study.
Using a DJI Phantom 4 Pro, two thermal sensors (in addition to several other on board devices and pre and post processing applications), researchers were able to build on existing survey methods with "less time-consuming" methods explored in this research.
According to the study, "Thermal imagery of breeding colonies was collected from 2019 to 2024, providing comprehensive coverage capturing all occupied burrows (chick presence) at each colony."
⛈ Outlining Hyperspectral Microwave Sensor (HyMS) Tech
With growing needs for accurate, up to date, and detailed climate data, new tech is immerging to equip prediction and response teams with better information.
