In this blog, we discuss (and show real examples) of the difference between calculating centroid coordinates, and central coordinates in a GIS.

Designing a mobile mapping solution for your organisation isn’t just about the platform, schema and data. It involves a process of collaboration with users, managers and setting up processes to ensure everyone is onboard and enthusiastic about its roll out. Afterall, it won’t be very useful if no one uses it. In this blog we impart our experience on the matter.

TerraLab and EsriAustralia teamed up for a Directions Live webinar on the STA logger. During the event, several case studies were discussed on STA logger and ArcGIS integrations. The webinar was recorded and can be accessed from the blog.

In part 1 on this two part blog, we showed how to make a map that shows steep slopes. In part 2, we show how you can categorize this by aspect to show the direction the slopes are facing too.

What is the most remote city in the world, with more than 100,000 people? GIS to the rescue. In this blog we answer that question, but also show you how to do it, using ArcGIS Pro.

TerraLab have been inducted in to the Bass Coast Business Awards Hall of Fame for taking out the Innovation category for three consecutive years.

Slope and aspect analysis are valuable for a variety of planning activities such as urban planning, natural hazard assessments and environmental conservation. In this blog post, we show you how to complete a slope assessment of your study site in minutes, using GIS.

Everyone has seen it. Most of you know the problems it causes. Some of you even know its name. The Web Mercator map projection. The map that makes Greenland look absolutely huge. In this blog, we discuss the Web Mercator map projection and use Indonesia as a comparison of the distortions it causes.

TerraLab is partnering with Large Globes, a globe manufacturer that hand crafts bespoke works of cartographic art for work places, home collections and public spaces.

In this blog, we highlight some of the uses of AI in GIS and undertake a test on detecting building footprints from an orthomosaic using a deep learning model. What would have taken an analyst days to digitise took our model 5 minutes to produce.

Esri doesn’t support working in a cloud storage service like Google Drive or OneDrive, but we know some of you do! In this blog we test the performance of each service using the Performance Assessment Tool.

Your imagery basemap is not accurate. In this video, we give an example of how inaccurate it can be and why you shouldn't map things from the imagery basemap.

Our navtigation satellites, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, etc. are up high. Really high. So high that their transmissions need to account for the effects of Einsteins relativity. In this blog article we explain how high and show what that actually looks like.

Sure you can use a scanner to digitise hardcopy maps. But have you ever considered using a digital camera? It is much faster, but there are some things you need to be aware of.

Not all GPS are equal. And when buying new gear, professionals run the risk of either not meeting their needs, or over-investing on a solution that is not appropriate for their field. In this blog, we discuss some of the main professional industries that utilise GPS, and some of aspects of GPS they should consider.

A percentage of every dollar we earn is pooled into a fund where our employees can then select a cause that is important to them, to donate to. This is part of our social plan that aims to see us be a greater part of our community. Read more to find out who we donated to this year.

Why are we still using slow, cumbersome measuring tapes in ecological sampling, forest inventory and revegetation monitoring. In this post we discuss objective, repeatable and ultra fast methods of performing these tasks using technology.

We provide a quick tutorial on setting up Blender to render hillshade for use in ArcGIS Pro.

How surveying resulted in Victoria and Tasmania sharing a LAND border.

At TerraLab, we use ecological knowledge, statistics and technology to make our work as efficient as possible. We utilise a case study of the Growling Grass Frog to show how we can save our clients a lot of time and money when performing targeted threatened species surveys.
