    “[The authors] studied how the ecological quality of Nepal's Rupandehi District has changed over three decades (1993–2023), using satellite imagery and the Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI) to track the health of the landscape year by year and to understand how urbanization-driven land use change has reshaped it.
    What [they] found tells a nuanced story: as Butwal and Bhairahawa grew and built-up land expanded, ecological quality shifted in ways that a single number can't capture, some areas recovered, others declined, and the patterns rarely moved in a straight line…”

    “Rapid urbanization and population growth are major drivers of land use and land cover (LULC) change and can substantially alter ecological environmental quality (EEQ). This study assessed the spatiotemporal dynamics of LULC and their effect on EEQ in Rupandehi District, Nepal, over a 30-year period (1993–2023). Four ecological indicators representing greenness, wetness, dryness, and heat were derived from Landsat imagery in Google Earth Engine (GEE), and LULC was classified using a Support Vector Machine (SVM). The Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI) was then constructed from these indicators using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in ArcGIS Pro, and its spatial structure was examined using global and local spatial autocorrelation. The mean RSEI followed a non-linear trajectory, rising from 0.59 in 1993 to 0.635 in 2004, declining to 0.55 in 2013, and recovering to 0.67 in 2023, indicating an overall improvement in EEQ with a temporary mid-period decline. Over the same period, built-up areas expanded substantially and agricultural land declined, whereas forest cover fluctuated but showed a slight net increase by 2023, and barren land decreased markedly. Higher EEQ was concentrated in the forested northern hills, while lower values occurred in the urban centers of Butwal and Bhairahawa, closely matching the spatial pattern of LULC change. The results indicate that ecological quality reflects the combined influence of all land cover classes rather than any single class. This study provides a transferable and reproducible workflow for long-term ecological assessment based on openly available Landsat data, with the analysis code shared in a public repository, offering practical guidance for sustainable land management and environmentally responsible urban development...”

  2. De gemeente Noordoostpolder heeft plannen om woningen van het gas af te halen. In 2050, dat duurt dus nog even, moeten volgens het kabinet alle woningen aardgas vrij zijn.
    Om de kijken hoe de plannen voor jouw woning zijn is een link gegeven.
    Als je echter op die link klikt moet je een account aanmaken bij ArcGis.com, zonder verder toelichting. Wat is ArcGis? Is dit veilig, zijn er kosten aan verbonden? Waarom is deze info niet voor iedereen in te zien?

  3. ArcGIS Flight Simulator: Cédric Despierre Corporon built a browser-based #FlightSimulator on the #ArcGIS Maps SDK for #JavaScript, streaming Swiss terrain and buildings from #swisstopo alongside global #OSM data. While obviously not a full flight sim, this is a genuinely...

  4. Also if you use the interface scaling in #ArcGIS Pro at less than 100%, you can thank me for suggesting that. They actually implemented my suggestion

  5. FME support for MCP: Safe Software has turned #FME into an #MCP bridge (to the #Esri #ArcGIS platform, for example): FME workspaces can now be published as AI-ready tools and served to any MCP client via FME Flow. Safe Software frames this as turning GIS platforms into...
