Geodata and AI

Artificial Intelligence has made it into most areas of our life. It’s no surprise that the geodata domain is widely affected by it, too. In this article, we try to give our first impression on the current situation and activities...

Blatten reloaded

Nature acts in a wide speed range. If we focus on our planet and our core subject geodata we see our data getting outdated by activity that lies somewhere between continental drift and volcanic eruptions...

White Spot Survey

The British Antarctic Survey has published the most detailed map about the landscape of Antarctica beneath the thick ice sheet. Let's get to the bottom of things...
