I’m currently seeking a job switch in the GIS domain but have faced challenges after 1.5 years. With over 8 years of experience as a GIS engineer, my work has primarily focused on generating maps for master planning projects. I’m eager to learn modern GIS tools to enhance my skill set.
I have expertise in web GIS visualization with Python, data engineering and workflow automation using Python, FME, ArcPy, and remote sensing through the Google Earth Engine Python API. Despite these skills, I’m struggling to find sufficient job opportunities.
What modern tools should I focus on to improve my marketability and salary? Additionally, what remote opportunities or roles should I target to work with cutting-edge technology in the GIS field and stay updated?
i need an app thats flexible, works on iOS and webapp (android as well not a requirement but a nice to have) is free and can use KML files any recommendations?
If you are interested in or use cloud-native geospatial formats, a virtual event on November 13th is an excellent opportunity to learn more and network with the people involved in these initiatives.
More info and registration:
Section, Township, Range, Land Lot, District... ***AND*** other forms of delineation at a similar scale.
I work for a civil engineering firm that requests to have this information displayed, when possible, on our construction drawings. IF the section, township, range are not available (like in colonial states)- I've been asked to include "whatever the local area uses". The problem is, I don't know what "other options" are available as delineating zones that are of a similar scale to "Section, Township, Range".
I'm looking for resources to better understand these topics. It would be nice to see some maps of the zones and some form of text document that breaks down what zones exist, where, and why they were chosen (so I have rules to apply to know when to use certain delineations).
*How do I find these zones? Are there departments that I can look at to see this information? Do I need to scour obscure government surveying websites to discover this information? Imagine you're told to setup a job in a state you've never worked in, where do you go to find this information? Is there a general workflow/procedure that could be follow?

Hi all
I am currently making an interactive map using the leaflet package, and am trying to costuming the legends without using html widgets.
I have two questions-
can I change the size of the legends?
can I make it so that the legends for base layers are invisible unless the layer is activated?
Again- I am hoping to do this in base leaflet without using HTML widgets.
Thanks 🖤
When using a trackball in addition to a mouse in SOCET, there is a setting to where the the trackball only zooms and does not act as a true cursor. Does anybody know where the set this? I have spent close to an hour and cannot remember.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a project to track global forest changes using segmentation techniques. My plan is to extract data from different parts of the world to analyze these changes over time.
I’ve read various papers, but I haven’t been able to find a usable dataset that fits my needs. Specifically, I’m looking for a source where I can obtain Landsat data or any other relevant datasets without having to manually download them for each specific region.
Additionally, I need time series data with full spectral bands. As a Computer Science student, working with remote sensing data is relatively new to me, so any guidance on where to find these datasets would be greatly appreciated.
Are there any repositories or platforms where I can access this data more efficiently?
Thank you for your help!
I am unsure if its worth taking non essential credits in my university by going back to take such classes before taking Calculus 2. I believe I could probably pass Calc 2 and then move to Linear Algebra and Calc 3 without taking a trigonometry class however my career aspirations lie in the intersection between data science, remote sensing, logistics and agriculture and I am unsure if I am making a mistake by rushing ahead without a stronger foundation
Hi all, I am trying to graph animals wearing gps collars in R. I used to use the R package moveVis but it has since been removed from CRAN. I am struggling to switch over to gganimate to do the same things. Does anyone have any example code or tutorials they can point me towards to try and speed up this learning curve? Thanks!
I am in the middle of conducting a damage assessment of the roads, buildings, and ecology in an area which recently experienced a hurricane. My task is to execute a change detection between an image of the area before the hurricane made landfall and an image of the area after the storm. The guidance I received included creating shapefile point and line layers and to assign them attributes to indicate whether these features were damaged or not. Can anyone recommend an efficient means of conducting this assessment or perhaps a tool which can automate this process or either ArcGIS or QGIS?
Hello Everyone! Im in advanced GIS and this semester project, I want to do a 3 dimensional geological map of Mount Roraima in Venezuela. Does anyone know where how I can find data for my project?
Thank you!! ( I will post my project in December)
Hey guys, I’ve been doing geospatial analysis (although not my main tasks at work) for around 4 years now. Recently I’ve gotten into photogrammetry and I find it really cool, been thinking to get a drone license and get deeper into it, but ultimately I’m mostly interested in geospatial AI/ML and building applications on that.
Anyone here a drone pilot and geospatial analyst? Are people finding roles where they get to do both or are they completely isolated? And is it a worthwhile endeavor to get into GIS drone mapping?
Hi everyone, I recently found some excellent jobs in the field of remote sensing/GIS with a particular focus on raster data. At the technical interview they asked me if I knew how to use python and I told them that I have always done data analysis on R studio. Since I have some time before I start, I would like to transfer my knowledge from R to Python with regard to spatial data analysis, especially raster data. I would like to ask you which is in your opinion the most efficient way, if there are courses (e.g. udemy) that give you a complete basic preparation or more generally how would you experts learn to use python for geospatial analysis starting from 0. Any answer is appreciated, thanks in advance.
I tried used the stylized geohash density algorithm to map the concentration of traffic volume across Toronto. Each rectangular box represents a road that passes through the area, providing information about traffic congestion. Taking into consideration Toronto's roads, I aimed to spotlight only the major and smaller arterials for a more streamlined look.
You're looking at traffic volumes from 2020 to 2024. It is made up of cars traveling north-southwest and eastward.
