Some of the technical specifications and standards for TransCanada is ensuring data integrity. It is one of TransCanada’s mission to provide quality geospatial products and services to Operations and Engineering. A set of quality standards and technical specification has been established in order to ensure the data meets the required accuracy for…

stakeholders,” (Department of Homeland Security, 2016). Another volunteer through the infrastructure is called Geospatial Analysts; they are tasked with the responsibility of providing infrastructure data and visual competencies to the PSAs. “The Geospatial Analysts serve as an extension support to various fields, and partners within the program include: the Department of Defense, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency; the United States Geological Survey, and a few others,” (Department of…

In “Purdue researchers tackle global hunger through innovation,” Hayleigh Colombo discussed the effects of GPS and drones on farming in the United States and Africa. Colombo used Chuck and Brian Shelby’s farm in Lafayette, Indiana as an example of farming that used modern GPS equipment to boost the efficiency and profitability. However, in Africa the story was portrayed much differently. Farmers used hand tools to scratch at the hard, solid ground that was difficult to break through, while…

ability to research a problem-set and gather relevant data they must tailor the priority of the findings for better execution and dissemination. In addition to the research and control an analyst must also be able to integrate technology such as Geospatial Information System (GIS) software, also known as ArcMap. The effective utilization of the tools in an analyst arsenal will contribute to the effective measurement of the gathered, analyzed, and interpretation of the information gathered…

this type of intelligence. The primary user of this type is the Foreign Broadcast Information Center.

year. Within the next one hundred years, all the ice on the mountains may be completely gone. Wells describes in detail the research trip he sponsored, where students took snow samples and analyzed them for carbon and mapped the ice sheets using geospatial software to see how the glaciers are changing (Storrow 2017). Unfortunate, Wyoming officials…

Bin Laden hunt. The study called attention to that the US knowledge group has no less than three offices that have been included in hunting down canister Laden. The National Security Agency codes breaking and interchanges checking, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency makes maps and investigates observation photos, and the National Reconnaissance Office gives satellite symbolism. By and large, the US knowledge group spent over $50 billion…

the US. My interest in innovative, collaborative, and multidisciplinary research led me to perform meta-analyses with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, design and coordinate household vulnerability surveys in Ethiopia, conduct varied geospatial analysis research, and work with HIV and maternal health programs both in Uganda and in Baltimore City. Currently, I am a team member with a…
