Introducing the 3DCityDB-Tools Plug-In for QGIS

This paper introduces a new plug-in for QGIS that allows to connect to the free and open-source 3D City Database to load CityGML data, structured as classic GIS layers, into QGIS. The user is therefore not required to be a CityGML specialist, or a SQL expert, as the plug-in takes care of hiding from the user most of the complexity in terms of...

Single Reservoir Pumped Hydro Storage with Seawater: A Big Battery for Big Problems

Indonesia faces the challenge of attaining renewable energy goals and reducing carbon emissions by 29% by 2030. Despite a renewable energy goal of 23% of the national energy mix by 2025, only 14% of electricity production is projected to be generated from renewable sources by 2023. Accelerated deployment of renewable energy solutions is required...

Further Development of a QGIS Plugin for the CityGML 3D City Database

Diversity in the use cases of semantic 3D city models today is unprecedented. A key enabler for this is the CityGML standard developed by the OGC to facilitate storing and exchanging these city models. Nevertheless, CityGML only provides object definitions which cater for a wide range of applications, making necessary the need to attach...

Development of a QGIS plugin for the CityGML 3D City Database

Today, in the urban planning, energy modelling and other fields, semantic 3D city models are used in various applications like visualization, data exploration, analysis and more. As a result, standard data practices needed to be set in order to facilitate the storage and exchange of these city models. For this purpose, the Open Geospatial...

Classification of Geomorphic Units and Their Relevance for Nutrient Retention or Export of a Large Lowland Padma River, Bangladesh: A NDVI Based Approach

Geomorphic classification of large rivers identifies morphological patterns, as a foundation for estimating biogeochemical and ecological processes. In order to support the modelling of in-channel nutrient retention or export, the classification of geomorphic units (GUs) was done in the Padma River, Bangladesh, a large and geomorphically...

A strategic approach for site selection of waste facilities in Mexico: Synthesis project 2020

Open dumping, open burning and burying of municipal solid waste (MSW) can be the cause environmental and public health issues. These practices are more prevalent in developing countries such as Mexico,where proper waste management systems are not present. Considering the environmental and health issues, it is therefore important to minimise the...

Scoping study on coastal squeeze in the Ayeyarwady Delta

Coastal squeeze is the reduction in the space of coastal habitats to operate (Phan et al, 2014) and an important cause for coastline retreat, increase in flood risk, salinity intrusion etc. Land use changes, such as deforestation and urbanization, reduce the space of natural habitats, such as mangrove forests, and cause deterioration of these...

Scoping study of `Coastal Squeeze' phenomenon, Ayeyarwady Delta, Myanmar

Coastal squeeze is defined as the reduction in the space of coastal habitats to operate [1] and it is an important cause for (amongst others) coastline retreat, an increase in flood risk and salinity intrusion. Land use changes, such as deforestation and urbanization, reduce the space of natural habitats such as mangrove forests. This causes a...
