A digital reimagining of Gettysburg - Anne Knowles

By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo; No more on Life's parade shall meet That brave and fallen few. On Fame's eternal camping-ground 5 Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead. Welcome To Opticks - Opticks - Opticks Wiki.

The Nature of Geographic Information. An Open Geospatial Textbook David DiBiase with contributions by James L.

The Nature of Geographic Information

Sloan II, Ryan Baxter, Wesley Stroh, Beth Fletcher King, and many students The Pennsylvania State University The purpose of this text is to promote understanding of the Geographic Information Science and Technology enterprise (GIS&T, also known as "geospatial"). Since I began writing in 1997, it has been a vehicle for me to understand the field better and to help my students do the same. GIS&T is the intersection of professions, institutions, and technologies that produce geographic data and render information from it.

Maps and the Geospatial Revolution. About the Course The past decade has seen an explosion of new mechanisms for understanding and using location information in widely-accessible technologies.

Maps and the Geospatial Revolution

This Geospatial Revolution has resulted in the development of consumer GPS tools, interactive web maps, and location-aware mobile devices. These radical advances are making it possible for people from all walks of life to use, collect, and understand spatial information like never before. This course brings together core concepts in cartography, geographic information systems, and spatial thinking with real-world examples to provide the fundamentals necessary to engage with Geography beyond the surface-level. We will explore what makes spatial information special, how spatial data is created, how spatial analysis is conducted, and how to design maps so that they’re effective at telling the stories we wish to share.

These Maps Redraw Cities Based On How Long It Takes To Get Around Without A Car. How much time will it take to reach point X by foot or public transit?

These Maps Redraw Cities Based On How Long It Takes To Get Around Without A Car

That's the question that these elegant maps try to answer. Rather than plug in addresses on Google Maps, you simply click on a point and see a heat-map visualization from your current location. Red means 10 minutes. Yellow means 20 or 30 minutes. Green and blue take a bit longer.The maps were developed by Andrew Hardin, a graduate student at the University of Colorado. Here is San Francisco: Seattle: Denver: And Boulder, Colorado: "These maps show how long it takes to get everywhere else via walking and public transit," Hardin writes in an email.

Hardin says the maps change dramatically according to the time of day, as you can see from this animation for Boulder. Hardin's maps, which are based on Open Street Map data, aren't completely accurate. Stewart Bruce.
