Geospatial Trends in the Water Industry The water industry is undergoing a significant digital transformation, with the integration of geospatial technologies playing a crucial role. Water authorities are leveraging geospatial data to enhance their decision-making processes, optimise resource allocation, and improve overall operational efficiency. These trends highlight the growing importance of geospatial solutions in the water industry’s continuous pursuit of effective water management strategies. Spatial Vision’s Water Industry Geospatial Capabilities Survey has been conducted periodically ..read more

Spatial Vision developed an interactive map of Australia for the Climate Council representing the extent of extreme heat days over different timeframes and climate action scenarios. Case Study Climate Heat Map Contact Us Whilst extreme heat is nothing new to most Australians, climate change is gradually increasing the frequency and impact of heatwaves. A detailed analysis by the Climate Council projects that by the end of the century Australian capital cities are set to swelter through twice as many days above 35°C. Spatial Vision worked with the Climate Council to develop a us ..read more

Hot enough for you? Climate Heat Map of Australia released Despite being the last official days of summer, for many parts of Australia it feels like summer is just getting started. Extreme heat is one of the most devastating effects of climate change, increasing fatalities, severe health issues, impacting our way of living and causing damage to the environment and ecosystems. Today marks a timely release from the Climate Council, the Climate Heat Map of Australia.  This interactive tool illustrates how cutting climate pollution will limit extreme heat in our neighbourhoods. The map does s ..read more

By Spatial Vision Geospatial Analyst, Jack Batson In the world of Geospatial, the two dominant players in the GIS software, ArcGIS Pro and QGIS, both offer Python libraries, which enable a user to integrate their respective functionalities into a Python code. As one of the most common scripting languages used in GIS, Python can be invaluable for streamlining otherwise arduous manual tasks such as advanced data management, geospatial analysis and map production. Even if you have a good understanding of base Python, both ArcPy and PyQGIS require a bit more learning to know what you’re doing. I ..read more

Although a climate emergency is felt by everyone in an affected area, it is often those that are most vulnerable within a community that will feel the greatest impact and suffer lasting consequences. With the rising frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as flash flooding, heat waves and bushfires, it is imperative now more than ever to strengthen our community resilience and support those most in need. Spatial Vision Climate Specialist, Rhiannan Mundana As the foundation to where an event occurs, why they occur and who it effects, preparing for and mitigating the effe ..read more
