Species Grids - a New SEDAC Data Release

Posted: September 19th, 2008, 6:51pm CEST by Satri

Tags: agriculture

The AGISRS list informs us of new species distribution grids data available. From the announcement: "NASA's Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC), based at CIESIN, has gridded nearly 12,000 species distribution maps which were originally in vector format (ESRI shapefile). The original data were developed by a consortium of conservation organizations including NatureServe, IUCN, Conservation International, and World Wildlife Fund-USA. To make these data more useful for modeling and for integration with socioeconomic and other data, SEDAC converted the entire collection of shapefiles to raster format. This newly released Web site provides a search facility for quickly locating and downloading 1-kilometer (30 arc-second) resolution grids of selected species maps in GeoTIFF format. Data are available for global amphibian distributions, and for birds and mammals in the Americas. The Web site provides access to individual species distribution grids, along with family grids that show the density and distribution of species within a given family."

Scientists Discover Cows Point North

Posted: August 26th, 2008, 11:23pm CEST by Satri

Tags: agriculture

Slashdot discuss a story about a scientific discovery regarding the mean geographic direction of cows. Their summary: "Dr Sabine Begall and colleagues from the University of Duisburg-Essen have discovered that cows tend to point north. The researchers studied deer in the Czech Republic and looked at thousands of images of cattle on Google Earth. The animals tended to face north when eating or resting. "We conclude that the magnetic field is the only common and most likely factor responsible for the observed alignment," the scientists wrote in an article. I guess cows will become the must-have item for long-distance hikers now. Having an edible compass would come in handy if you get lost." In addition to this Telegraph article, APB points to NPR and SS to the LA Times.

From the GeoSpatial Solutions web site : "A sugar shortage in the international market has pushed prices up and stimulated production in several countries. Information on areas where sugarcane is grown and its total production is always in high demand. Of the various advanced scientific methods, a remote sensing and GIS-based approach has been found to be a cost- and time-effective solution in India, providing near-real-time information for estimating acreage coupled with monitoring the health of crops".
