Google Maps and Google Earth are very common platforms today to explore maps and satellite images of the earth. But there are many other ways to explore the earth. Some are listed here. 1. Earth Explorer This map is developed by USGS helpful to obtain earth imagery across available geo-spatial data types. Users can navigate via interactive map or text search to obtain Landsat satellite imagery, Radar data, UAS data, digital line graphs, digital elevation model data, aerial photos, Sentinel satellite data, some commercial satellite imagery including IKONOS and OrbView3, land cover data, digital map data from the National Map, and many other datasets. Users can search by exact location via the interactive map or input specific coordinates to view what data types are available. 2. Sentinel Hub This platform developed by Sinergise has Sentinel, Landsat, and other Earth observation imagery easily accessible for browsing, visualization and analysis. It can automatically archi
Nepal Society of Engineering Geology (NSEG), founded in 2018, is a non-profitable society
working in a congregational manner in Nepal as well as international level in
the field of Engineering Geology and Geotechnical Engineering. It also enhances
the International Association of Engineering Geology and Environment (IAEG)
membership to achieve some common goals in the development of engineering
geological science. The priorities aim of the society is to upgrade
engineering geology through research, survey, investigation, exchanging views
and perspectives with national or international experts and by promoting other
scientific activities with some of the new techniques. NSEG is a
professional and scientific organization comprising members from the fields of
Engineering Geology, Geology, Geomorphology, Geography, Geotechnical
Engineering, Civil Engineering and Disaster Risk Management. The NSEG will
bridge between geologists, engineers and social scientists in Nepal and will
provide a vibrant platform for discussing and debating geotechnical and
engineering geological problems and will support Nepal for the sustainable
development planning. The society will regularly organize
national/international symposium/seminars/workshops in various parts of the
country and will attract experts, students, professionals from related fields
of Engineering Geology and Geotechnical Engineering from Nepal and abroad. NSEG
will also start the training program on Engineering Geology for young
professionals and will encourage them to work in international standard.
The NSEG serves the
Nepali National Group of the International
Association of Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG) and
also support activities of IAEG in Nepal.
The major aims of the
society are as follow:
·
To promote the professional works of
Engineering Geology and allied sciences and their application.
· To promote university courses, training programs and new technologies in engineering geology in Nepal and aboard.
· To disseminate knowledge and provide a forum for discussion of all disciplines by holding periodical meetings, seminars and symposia.
· To support various civil engineering projects of Nepal for engineering geological study through research and investigation.
· To publish a journal and newsletter in the topic of Himalayan Engineering Geology.
· To distribute Nepalese National Group of IAEG membership in Nepal.
· To support IAEG for its activities in Nepal.
· To support the Government of Nepal for promotion of professional engineering geological study in Nepal.
