Mapas de Peligrosidad Climática: Datos y Análisis para aseguradoras

Gracias a datos satelitales de alta calidad y herramientas de análisis geoespacial en la nube, es posible generar de forma ágil mapas de peligrosidad climática con respaldo científico y cobertura global. Un ejemplo de ello es el análisis de la frecuencia de lluvias extremas realizado para Sri Lanka en el periodo 2001–2023.

Summer Heat Inequity in Madrid: A Playground-Based Analysis in Summer 2024

Between June 21 and September 21, 2024, I analyzed the surface temperatures of all 2,123 registered playgrounds in Madrid using Landsat 8/9 imagery (Level-2 Surface Temperature products). This investigation, an extension of my previous reflection on urban heat and environmental justice in Geovisualization.net (May 2025), highlights how thermal exposure is patterned by geography, planning legacies, and demographic vulnerability in the Spanish capital.

Urban delineation methods beyond administrative boundaries

As a geographer working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), I am particularly interested in exploring urban delineation methods that move beyond the constraints of administrative boundaries. Instead of relying on official municipal limits—which can often be outdated or misaligned with functional realities on the ground—I focus on delineating urban areas based on physical indicators such as built-up surface, population density, and spatial continuity. This approach allows for a more accurate and dynamic understanding of urban space.

Uso de ChatGPT en diferentes idiomas para generar post sobre un tema random: “autómatas celulares”

¿Pensáis que la Inteligencia Artificial de ChatGPT nos permite autoescribir de manera completamente automática sobre un tema random como este (autómatas celulares/cellular automata) una introducción para por ejemplo hacer un post en redes sociales?. ¿E ir más allá?. Quizá no estemos tan lejos de que los robots empiecen a pensar por nosotros. Paso uno, usoContinue reading “Uso de ChatGPT en diferentes idiomas para generar post sobre un tema random: “autómatas celulares””

ViewTec’s State-of-the-art 3D visualization

Good news!!!! They’ve probably released this Geovisualization Engine long time ago (It used to be an ‘in-house’ software) but I have just realized. I worked with this state-of-the-art TerrainView 3D software for six months while I was working as a GIS Specialist in Cape Town (South Africa)… What does this software has that no oneContinue reading “ViewTec’s State-of-the-art 3D visualization”

Creating and personalizing KML code (placemarks).

First of all, what is KML?. KML is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser, such as Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Maps for mobile. You can create KML files to pinpoint locations, add image overlays, and expose rich data in new ways. KML is an international standard maintained byContinue reading “Creating and personalizing KML code (placemarks).”

Rich Interface Design with Adobe FLEX Builder.

Rich Interface Design (RID) is the best way to work alongside a developer. You don’t have to design and afterwards the developer tries to transform it into code or upside down you dont have to try to understand developer’s code and at the same time doing your best to get a beautiful and outstanding application…Continue reading “Rich Interface Design with Adobe FLEX Builder.”
