    No, Adobe braindead, this geospatial PDF is not a scan. I wrote the page from #Qgis myself as a user friendly map page.

    Free trial? It's enough of a trial to close your stupid "summary" offers.

  2. Heute ist der 256. Tag des Jahres: der #TagDesProgrammierers. 256, weil das genau der Anzahl an Werten entspricht, die sich mit einem Byte (8Bit) darstellen lassen.

    Was unsere Arbeit ausmacht, steht nicht im Repository. Es steckt im Team.

    Jemand liest Bug-Reports. Jemand schreibt Doku. Jemand pflegt ein Repository.

    All das trägt @mapbender, @mapcomponents, #QGIS.

    Danke, WhereGroupies.

  3. Four ways for sharing QGIS models: Geotribu rounds up four ways to share your #QGIS models with a team, from keeping them private within an organisation to publishing them for anyone to reuse. A handy reference if collaborative #geoprocessing #workflows are part of your QGIS toolkit.

  4. 1/3

    Back in 1976, Christo and Jeanne-Claude worked with local communities and volunteers in Sonoma County and Marin County to complete Running Fence (24.5 miles).

    It was only installed for two weeks, before it was completely removed and landscape restored.

    This year marks the project's 50th anniversary. I was able to update my Running Fence project in QGIS with another set of source maps which represent the final route.

  5. Vorige week vrijdag kwamen collega’s uit 25 gemeenten samen in het stadhuis van Zaandam voor de #QGIS-gebruikerdag voor gemeenten. We deelden praktijkervaringen met QGIS, terwijl Zaanstad zorgde voor ☕🍪 en 🍦 bij de borrel.
    De diversiteit aan QGIS‑toepassingen blijft verrassen: van dataverrijking tot slimme visualisaties voor data‑gedreven werken.
    🏛️ Dank aan #GemeenteZaanstad voor het hosten!

  6. J'ai toujours cru que dessiner une ligne #géodésique avec n'importe quel #SIG serait une fonction de base. Avec #QGIS non, apparemment. (L'outil semble davantage pensé pour la planification locale que pour les réflexions à l'échelle planétaire.) Mais le module "Shape Tools" de Calvin Hamilton y pallie. Il n'est pas d'emblée évident à prendre en main, voici donc un petit tutoriel.

  9. 📢Op 19 juni organiseren we de jaarlijkse QGIS voor Gemeenten Dag. We zijn te gast bij de #GemeenteZaanstad. Een dag vol uitwisseling, inspiratie en praktische kennis, door en voor gemeenten en andere overheden die met #QGIS werken of dat overwegen. Meld je hier aan: qgis.nl/event/qgis-voor-gemeen

  10. I want to use QGIS to geo reference an image, then later edit the image in GNU IMP, but preserve the location tags.

    Is this difficult? Do I need to save off the location data somehow?

    #QGIS #georeferencing

  11. La journée OSM et Territoires était l'occasion de rencontrer celles et ceux qui pratiquent les communs numériques au quotidien dans leur collectivité territoriale et de partager leurs témoignages. J'ai pu y parler mesure de l'artificialisation des sols, et comparer la place prise par les stationnements des véhicules particuliers durant la session de lightning talks. Gouverner c'est prévoir, et pour atteindre nos objectifs, encore faut-il connaître ce qui est à notre disposition. #OpenStreetMap est un commun numérique incontournable pour relever ce défi du changement climatique.

    Pour ce faire, après 12 ans d'entreprise individuelle de développement web avec #CipherBliss, je suis en train de lancer une société nommée #TamiaData.

    Merci à la Fédération des pros d'OSM et aux organisateurs des journées QGIS.org, à Rémi Labarthe pour la photo, ainsi qu'à l'université de #Brest!

  12. I created this map six years ago. It was one of my first projects using #QGIS at the time. I wanted to georeference the old source maps to the current landscape.

    The orange vector line defines the route of the
    #Christo and #JeanneClaude Running Fence , which was a project they completed in the summer of 1976, lasting two weeks.

    #RunningFence started in Cotati, and wound through the landscapes of #SonomaCounty and #MarinCounty.

    2026 marks the 50th year since the project was created.

  14. #GreennessOfCalgary
    I’ve almost finished it!
    I’ve uploaded all eight parts of “The Greenness of Calgary: A Community-Level Atlas (2025). Contrast Color Edition” to #Gumroad

    Each part is a separate PDF using the “classic” high-contrast NDVI palette, optimized for visual interpretation of vegetation patterns. (The soft green palette will come later.)

    I’ve created a dedicated landing page with descriptions of all releases and download links.
    📎 Landing page is here: datastory.gumroad.com/l/qemrgul

    💲 The materials are available under a “pay what you want” model — free or with optional support.

    This is my first attempt at publishing geospatial analytical materials in this format. I apologise for some template-like descriptions. I hope this atlas series will be useful for researchers, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in Calgary’s urban ecology.

  20. 🌿 Greenness of Calgary Communities (Summer 2024)
    📎 datastory.org.ua/greenness-of-

    Last year I published my first attempt to analyze the actual vegetation condition across Calgary and to build a data-driven ranking of its communities based on median summer NDVI. It was my very first experiment in assessing urban greenness at the neighbourhood scale — but the results turned out surprisingly insightful.
    Some patterns were expected, while others revealed unexpectedly low vegetation density in places that looked green from the ground.

    This exploration later grew into a much larger line of research on Calgary’s greenness, climate resilience, and spatial variability in vegetation health. You can find some results here with thematic hashtag #GreennessOfCalgary

    If you're working on urban ecology, remote sensing, or land-cover analysis of Canadian cities — I’d be happy to exchange ideas.

  21. 🗺️ Making atlases better, one version at a time

    Not everything works perfectly on the first try — sometimes the most obvious design ideas come late and suddenly! 🤣

    Here’s one example: showing community boundaries so that people unfamiliar with cartography can at least find their own street.

    In the second version (right), I added a subtle shading effect that keeps the map’s analytical context but visually highlights the selected community.

    Each atlas is generated automatically in QGIS Report Designer — one atlas per city sector, with multiple communities.
    That means this improvement wasn’t just “drawing a border manually,” but rather a data-driven programming and sorting task integrated into the atlas workflow.

  22. 💧 Aggressive groundwater and the long memory of contamination

    Even after more than a decade of monitoring, the groundwater in this carbonate aquifer remains undersaturated with respect to calcite — consistently showing negative SI values across nearly all observation wells.

    This means that the system is still chemically aggressive toward limestone, slowly dissolving the host rock.
    The impoundment, operating since 1976, continues to influence the aquifer — with the geometry of possible subsurface voids still uncertain to this day.

  23. 🌳 Random Forests and Living Trees

    English translation of my earlier article on applying satellite imagery and machine learning to map urban land cover.

    What started as a local research project in Kryvyi Rih turned into something much larger — the results sparked a heated discussion among residents, officials, and industry representatives about the real condition of green buffers around large industrial sites.

    The methodology developed during that work is still being used today — adapted for new environmental and urban projects.

  24. 🌿 NDVI change in Calgary’s Weaselhead Flats (2024 → 2025)

    This map shows how vegetation in one of Calgary’s most diverse natural areas responded to the city’s unusually wet summer of 2025.
    Greener shades mark zones where NDVI increased most strongly compared to 2024 — the same floodplain and forest patches that locals know for dense canopy recovery.

    Even modest year-to-year shifts in temperature and rainfall leave clear spatial traces in NDVI — a reminder of how sensitive urban ecosystems are to climate variability, and how well open-data satellite products can capture it.

  25. 🌿 Calgary’s vegetation — satellite comparison (2024 → 2025)

    Median NDVI maps from mid-May to mid-September show a clear difference between the two seasons.

    In 2025, NDVI values are noticeably higher — vegetation stayed greener and denser for longer.
    The wetter summer had a strong effect on canopy productivity across most Calgary communities, especially in parkland and tree-covered zones.

  26. 🧠 Full-Stack Science — from raw data to the final PDF

    While preparing the new version of my monograph, I realized something funny:
    if I listed all the software I used, the “Used software” section would look more like a Linux manual than a scientific appendix.

    Because, honestly — everything mattered.
    From grep, awk, and apt, to PHREEQC, R, QGIS, and finally LaTeX.

    Every single stage — data cleaning, modeling, visualization, mapping, typesetting — I did entirely on my own.
    No outsourcing. No “sending for refinement.”
    Just a full-stack, open-source workflow — from the first script to the final monograph PDF.

  27. 🌎 Mapping dominant chemical speciation in a polluted carbonate aquifer

    In my recent modeling work, I modeled the dominant forms of element speciation in groundwater within a carbonate system.

    Beyond pure geochemical curiosity, this approach provides a practical lens:
    – it reveals where mineral precipitation is most probable,
    – and helps identify zones where remediation can be most effective.

    💻 Combining thermodynamic modeling (PHREEQC) with spatial analysis in R and QGIS turns subsurface processes into actionable insights for water-quality management and contamination mitigation.

  28. “If the map does not match the terrain — trust the terrain!”
    — Principle of field geoscience

    This is how the effective catchment area of the Inhulets River looks within the study region.

    The upstream part — above the Karachunivske Reservoir's dam, the outlet of the Saksahan derivative tunnel, and the confluence of the Stara Saksahan River — was excluded from the calculation.

    Within the analyzed area, surface runoff is possible only from the highlighted zone.
    The rest of the “catchment basin” is hydrologically inactive: runoff is intercepted by ponds, settling tanks, and other anthropogenic landforms.

    🌍 The analysis was based on the Copernicus GLO-30 DEM, integrated with hydrological modeling and terrain processing in open-source GIS.
