Review of environmental benefits and development of methodology for EUNIS habitat changes from nature-based solutions: Application to Denmark and the Netherlands

Nature-Based solutions (NBS) are the measures supported by natural processes that can adapt to changing climates and generate diverse social, economic, and environmental benefits. Recognising the potential for additional NBS benefits, and quantifying these benefits is essential as it encourages decision-makers to implement and scale-up NBS...

Mapping ArcGIS Parcel Fabric to LADM - Commonalities, Gaps and Implementation

Esri's ArcGIS second generation of the parcel fabric was designed with LADM in mind. Unlike LADM which is conceptual, the parcel fabric information model is a physical information model. The parcel fabric is designed to meet the industry needs for the next 15-20 years. This paper will map the parcel fabric to LADM, use LADM abstract test suite...

Comparison and evaluation of different gis software tools to estimate solar irradiation

In this paper, five commonly used software tools to estimate solar radiation in the urban context (GRASS GIS, ArcGIS, SimStadt, CitySim and Ladybug) are run on the same test site and are compared in terms of input data requirements, usability, and accuracy of the results. Spatial and weather data have been collected for an area located in the...

Building Rhythms: Reopening the workspace with indoor localisation

Indoor localisation methods are an essential part for the management of COVID-19 restrictions, social distancing, and the flow of people in the indoor environment. Moving towards an open work space in this scenario requires effective real-time localisation services and tools, along with a comprehensive understanding of the 3D indoor space. This...

Nuevo Ferroviario Rio Biobío: Hydraulic and structural study for the new railway bridge to investigate the influence of river morphodynamics and tsunami impact on the structural stability of the bridge pier

In Chile, the Biobío river separates the cities of Concepción and San Pedro de la Paz. Bridges crossing the Biobío river ensure a fast and dependable connection, which contributes to the transport options in the region. With the Biobío region being the second largest contributor to the country's GDP, an unreliable transport network is highly...

Bridging the Gap between LADM and Cadastres

The LADM passed, on the 1st of November 2012, the final vote towards becoming an international standard, ISO 19152, and was formally published by ISO on 1ste of December 2012. Since then there has been a considerable move in the land administration domain towards the implementation of the model. Examples are in Australia, China, Malaysia,...

Statistical analysis of 2D trace-line maps of fracture networks in carbonate rocks of the Jandeíra Formation in Brazil

The fracture network of the Jandeíra Formation in the northeastern part of Brazil is controlled by two main (paleo-) stress fields. The first stress field, characterized by a NS-oriented compression, occurred from the Campanian to the Miocene. The second occurred from the Miocene to the Quaternary as an EW-oriented compression. In the western...

Design and development of a hazard map for the positioning and siting of large jack-up rigs at the geologically complex areas of the Gulf of Suez

The aim of this research project is to develop a hazard map for punch-through failure during jack-up rig installation in the Gulf of Suez. This map can be used to make an upfront assessment of unfavorable foundation conditions at a proposed installation site. This is not self-evident due to the complex geological setting of the area. Data to...
