/ / Knowledge, Project, Public, Research, Teaching / , , , , / 5 minutes of reading

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Mangrove forests are remarkable ecosystems that thrive along coastlines, bridging the gap between land and sea. These biodiverse habitats provide critical ecological services, such as coastal protection, carbon sequestration, and supporting diverse marine life. To effectively conserve and manage mangrove forests, it is crucial to understand their distribution, structure, and dynamics. This is where mapping mangrove trees and their habitat using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology plays a pivotal role. In this […]

By Shahabuddin Amerudin The above figure shows the risk of flooding mapped around the world (Conte, 2022). The study uses data from Nature to map flood risks around the world and identifies countries and populations vulnerable to the risk of flooding (Rentschler et. al, 2022). The methodology includes both inland and coastal flooding risks. The Netherlands and Bangladesh have more than half of their population at risk due to flooding, followed by Vietnam, Egypt, and

Python Libraries for GIS and Mapping Python libraries are the ultimate extension in GIS because it allows you to boost its core functionality. By using Python libraries, you can break out of the mould that is GIS and dive into some serious data science. There are 200+ standard libraries in Python. But there are thousands of third-party libraries too. So, it’s endless how far you can take it. Today, it’s all about Python libraries in
