Southern Water to prepare detailed geographic data
The upgrade to a full corporate GIS using a single repository of spatial data has allowed Southern Water to take maximum advantage of Ordnance Survey’s range of ?agship mapping data. The company undertook a major exercise to improve the quality and accuracy of its own geographical data based on the Ordnance Survey Positional accuracy improvement (PAI) programme. It has given Southern Water, which provides water and sewage services to 4 million people, enhanced and more consistent accuracy in the mapping of rural areas while improving the relationship between Ordnance Survey 1:2500 scale map data and Southern Water’s own GPS-positioned information.

Europe and China collaborate on monitoring the Earth’s vegetation
European and Chinese scientists recently met to discuss issues relating to monitoring the Earth’s vegetation by means of multi-angular hyperspectral remote sensing, in combination with measurements of emission of radiation by soil and vegetation. The proposed technique makes use of solarre ?ected sunlight, its spectral change due to various constituents present in plants in combination with its directional dependence on canopy structure. http://www.esa.int/esaLP/ SEMNONO2UXE_index_0.html
