GIS & The Science of Where: This is not a new phrase, rather this emphasizes GIS as a science of kind in its own right, and it integrates with other sciences like geography, biology, statistics etc. GIS is a framework for applying science to almost everything. The Science of Where is applying a data-driven approach that uses geography to unlock the understanding. GIS now provides a way to understand knowledge through data exploration, analytics, visualization, and, sharing and dissemination.

I've always been a strong proponent of good cartography since my early days in geographic information systems when I saw countless examples of very poor GIS map products. Regrettably, many early practitioners of GIS understood the software but lacked an appreciation and understanding of the good cartographic principals that are absolutely necessary to communicate spatial data well.

Inside GNSS
The nation's leading GPS experts said in a newly released letter that a controversial broadband network would still interfere significantly with GPS receivers despite revisions to the network plan. The right choice, the group advised key administration officials, is to protect GPS, which underlies aviation and much of the nation's other critical infrastructure.

It's human nature to strive for order and structure around information. We make lists. We design and populate taxonomies. We produce charts, figures and tables. We rely on alphabets and chronologies to place knowledge into a sequenced order. In the absence of structures that allow us to organize our knowledge, we would overly tax our cognitive abilities to remember and to reason.

Smart Cities Dive
In many ways, we live in Google's world. The company's parent, Alphabet Inc., reported more than $90 billion in 2016 revenue, up 20% from 2015. Most of that almost unimaginable pile of cash — a whopping $79.4 billion — came from its advertising business. But there's a catch: though the number of ads Google sells is spiking, the amount of money it earns per ad, or cost per click, has been declining for years. Connected cities could change that.
