The 7th of October will forever be remembered in our collective memory as a day of tragedy and senseless violence, an operation that would shatter the dream of Israel’s inviolability. The attacks by Hamas were unequivocally condemnable. The targeting of civilians (+1200 dead and +250 kidnappings) is never acceptable, and those responsible for such acts must be held accountable. However, the response that followed has escalated into something far worse, a state-driven campaign of violence by Israel that has, in just one year, claimed over 42,000 lives, a staggering number of whom are women and children. This is not defense; this is mass murder. GENOCIDE.

Wildfires in Russia through SENTINEL 2
In recent days, the Sakha region in Russia has experienced significant wildfire activity, More than 100 wildfires spanning more than 300,000 hectares are currently active. driven by a combination of extreme weather conditions and environmental factors. The fires, which have spread across vast areas of forest and tundra, have been exacerbated by unusually high temperatures and prolonged periods of drought. These conditions have led to exceptionally dry vegetation, creating an ideal fuel for the fires.
I FORO NACIONAL: CIENCIAS DE DATOS ESPACIALES COMO HERRAMIENTA EFICAZ EN LA GESTION PUBLICA. Lima (Perú)
Esta pasada semana he tenido el honor de viajar a Lima (Perú) para participar en el el Primer Foro Nacional de Ciencias de Datos Espaciales como herramienta eficaz para la gestión pública estos pasados 18-19 Julio 2023 en el Centro de Convenciones de Lima, Perú. Mi ponencia era sobre el DIGITAL TWIN en la ciudad de CUZCO así como el BRIGHT EARTH CITY TEXTURING, una solución de texturización procedural con semántica 3D de bajo mantenimento de mi empresa Luxcarta, un gran adelanto tecnológico de nuestro departamento de I+D.
The beauty (and precision) of LIDAR:
Lidar, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a technology that uses laser beams to measure distances and create detailed maps of the surrounding environment. It works by emitting laser pulses and then measuring the time it takes for the pulses to bounce back after hitting objects in their path. By analyzing the returning signals, lidar can accurately calculate the distance to various points and generate a three-dimensional map.
Learning to use GOES constellation
GOES satellites continually view the continental United States, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, Central and South America, and Southern Canada. To fully cover Alaska, Hawaii, the entire continental United States and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans (for tropical storms), NOAA operates two GOES satellites simultaneously
Maps and Art. AI dissertation
Consider the ancient maps that adorned the walls of explorers and cartographers. These maps, adorned with intricate illustrations and embellishments, captured not just the physical landscape, but also the spirit of discovery and wonder. They were an expression of human curiosity, a testament to our desire to venture into the unknown. These maps were not limited by the constraints of reality; instead, they became a visual representation of aspirations and dreams.
Measuring snow coverage using EOB – Earth Observation – Sentinel HUB
Playing with Sentinel 2 images I realized that the amount of snow this year has been very low compared to last winter. Here are a couple of images from January 2022 and 2023 of the Canfranc – Paticosa – Jaca area. One of the most interesting things about this EO browser is that in addition to a standard 2D visualisation, we can visualise in 3D. Here is an video example. Another interesting thing is to be able to quantify the snowfall. There is a snow classifier based on NSDI (Normalized Difference Snow Index, The Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) snow cover is an index that is related to the presence of snow in a pixel and is a more accurate description of snow detection as compared to Fractional Snow Cover (FSC).
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””
Se completa la trilogía escolar en GEOGRAFÍA
Después de mi master class en la Universidad de Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) y después de mi clase de motivación en el Instituto IES Santo Tomás de Aquino de Íscar (Valladolid), llegó mi clase en el Colegio Ermita del Santo en Madrid. Tres niveles educativos diferentes y cada una interesante a su manera. En este último caso del Colegio, me tuve que enfrentar a casi una cincuentena de niños de 4º de Primaria donde disfruté tanto que no sé quién se lo pasó mejor, si ellos o yo!.
Consultoría e ideología: Manual de estupidez
Yo soy un humilde Geógrafo, además soy alguien curioso al que no le importa meterme en mil fregados por las razones más variadas, que ha trabajado y trabaja como tal pero también como diseñador, como fotógrafo o como comercial. He trabajado con obreros, con arquitectos, porteros de fincas, con dibujantes, con consultores de todos losContinue reading “Consultoría e ideología: Manual de estupidez”
