Mineralogical Analysis using Remote Sensing, Machine Learning, and ArcGIS Pro
Posted 3 years ago
Due to the global pandemic, scientists worldwide have had to find remote alternatives to their usual in-person research. This is no different for geologists, many of whom have not been able to access the field sites they would usually visit to collect data. Thus, many earth scientists have turned to remote sensing as an alternative […]

Background As part of my master’s thesis research project, titled, “Infill Planner: A geo-questionnaire to gather public input on infill developments”, I developed a map-based tool/app as a data collection method for the research. I would like to share a broad overview of how this was done. I named the tool that I developed Infill […]
ArcGIS Urban For Visually-Oriented Collaborative Planning
Posted 3 years ago
The analytical power of GIS has benefitted just about every industry. The nature of the GIS discipline also lends itself particularly well to urban planning. In response, and about eight years after the debut of CityEngine, Esri released ArcGIS Urban which is a web-based urban planning application. Whereas CityEngine is primarily a 3D mass urban […]
