Proteger la vida silvestre, ese fue el mensaje que dejó la proyección del video mapping denominado UKCOL Por La Vida Silvestre, una colaboración creativa exclusiva entre el reconocido fotógrafo de animales Tim Flach y el músico del grupo colombiano Bomba Estéreo, Simón Mejía, que explora la belleza y la majestuosa biodiversidad de Latinoamérica y hace un fuerte llamado a su protección.
Anoche, como parte de los eventos de la agenda de la II Conferencia de Alto Nivel de las Américas sobre el Comercio Ilegal de Vida Silvestre, que se desarrolla en La Heroica, se presentó este producto audiovisual que fue apreciado por cientos de turistas que transitan por la Torre del Reloj.
El ministro de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, Carlos Eduardo Correa, destacó el trabajo del fotógrafo británico que logró plasmar en imágenes la riqueza natural de los países latinoamericanos. “Lo que vimos en la Torre del Reloj es la muestra de la grandeza de nuestra región. Nuestro país alberga el 10 % de toda la biodiversidad global y esa es una riqueza que debemos entender más allá del discurso”, dijo.
Guacamayas, tucanes, pelícanos, jaguares, caimanes, monos, sapos y especies marinas, entre otros, fueron las especies que llenaron de colores y vida la Torre del Reloj. El video mapping tuvo una duración de 40 minutos y fue musicalizado en vivo, por lo que ofreció una experiencia única, sensorial y envolvente.
“El enfoque de mi trabajo no es el de un fotógrafo de vida silvestre tradicional, sino que busco recrear el carácter, la personalidad de estos animales para que parezcan casi unos retratos humanos, para que podamos pensar en ellos de otra forma y lo que eso puede decirnos de nosotros mismos. Ustedes tienen una biodiversidad extraordinaria, como estos delfines de agua dulce, tienen el tití cabeza blanca, en las costas tienen aglomeraciones de tiburones martillo que se reúnen para aparearse. Todos estos son animales únicos, ¿cómo no inspirarse con toda esta biodiversidad?”, resaltó Tim Flach.
Esta producción se hizo realidad gracias al apoyo del Festival Internacional de Cine Ambiental colombiano Planet On, a través de su iniciativa Music On, liderada por Simón Mejía y diseñada visualmente por Santiago Caicedo, junto con la campaña Great del Gobierno del Reino Unido, lo que refleja la alianza entre los dos países y su compromiso por la protección del medio ambiente. / Abr. 05, 2022.

NASA's Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography And Spectroscopy (VERITAS) mission will orbit Venus and acquire infrared spectroscopy, radar imaging, topography, and repeat pass interferometry data. The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is a key partner in the mission and a field campaign currently under way in Iceland. DLR's advanced airborne F-SAR radar sensor is used for investigating and characterising surface properties to distinguish between various types of lava flows expected to be present on Venus in preparation for the return to Venus in the next decade. At the same time on the ground, DLR scientists use a field version of the Venus Emissivity Mapper (VEM) to map the near infrared spectral characteristics. The field campaign to Iceland is a joint expedition of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, DLR and a group of international scientists from the VERITAS science team.

Caleb Gulley, USDA-NRCS Soil Scientist mapping soils in Sumter County, SC
A soil scientist is a person who is qualified to evaluate and interpret soils and soil-related data for the purpose of understanding soil resources as they contribute to not only agricultural production, but as they affect environmental quality and as they are managed for protection of human health and the environment. The university degree should be in Soil Science, or closely related field (i.e., natural resources, environmental science, earth science, etc.) and include sufficient soils-related course work so the Soil Scientist has a measurable level of understanding of the soil environment, including soil morphology and soil forming factors, soil chemistry, soil physics, and soil biology, and the dynamic interaction of these areas.
Soil survey or soil mapping, is the process of classifying soil types and other soil properties in a given area and geo-encoding such information. It applies the principles of soil science, and draws heavily from geomorphology, theories of soil formation, physical geography, and analysis of vegetation and land use patterns. Primary data for the soil survey are acquired by field sampling and by remote sensing.
In the past, a soil scientist would take hard-copies of aerial photography, topo-sheets, and mapping keys into the field with them. Today, a growing number of soil scientists bring a ruggedized tablet computer and GPS into the field with them.
The term soil survey may also be used as a noun to describe the published results. In the United States, these surveys were once published in book form for individual counties by the National Cooperative Soil Survey.
Today, soil surveys are no longer published in book form; they are published to the web and accessed on NRCS Web Soil Survey where a person can create a custom soil survey. This allows for rapid flow of the latest soil information to the user. In the past it could take years to publish a paper soil survey. The information in a soil survey can be used by farmers and ranchers to help determine whether a particular soil type is suited for crops or livestock and what type of soil management might be required.
An architect or engineer might use the engineering properties of a soil to determine whether it is suitable for a certain type of construction. A homeowner may even use the information for maintaining or constructing their garden, yard, or home.

The memory of what has been real, it’s already a proof of the absence, the
landscapes where the other one is missing... it has been for real? Only the
lines, strokes, stains, the gesture, the partial, the oblivion… The memory
beyond the landscape, recreated inside the interior arquitecture, broken,
incomplete, as the geography of the contemporary identity.

Advantages Of Quadcopter Mapping Methods
A quadcopter, sometimes referred to as a quadsfly, is a kind of plane with four rotating blades. These days a Quadcopter is often used for filming sports events or for filming aerial footage. There are four rotating blades that make up this type of plane and it has become an important part of military aviation due to its versatility. While quadsfly helicopters were originally used for stunt flying, they are now used by both civilian and military aircraft.
The first disadvantage of a Quadcopter was that it could only be flown in a straight line. It soon became possible to correct the flight path by altering the angle of the blades by rotating them. This improved the Quadcopter’s agility and allowed it to be used in more complex flight scenarios. Other improvements to the Quadcopter such as increased range and weight helped improve its use in combat situations, however, these improvements did not eliminate the drawbacks.
One of the biggest disadvantages of the Quadcopter is the limited maneuverability, it presents. It cannot turn very quickly, which limits the areas you can fly in. Quadcopter flight plans generally require large areas of clear skies for optimal performance. A major problem in smooth flight is the large signature that a Quadcopter generates when it is in motion. Most insurance companies will not insure a flyer if it cannot be positively identified as being airborne.
Another advantage of a Quadcopter is the lower cost of operation than fixed-wing aircraft. Some experts believe it will take thirty years before fully fledged Quadcopter versions will be available. The lower initial costs make them practical for first-time hobbyists and prevent the need for a large investment in up-front fees. However, most experts agree that the future of these crafts is tied to improved technology.
There are some advantages that the fixed-wing aircraft has over these new multi-rotor drones. These include the ability to gain altitude and move quickly, but the lack of ability to hover. While some models have been introduced with a self-autonomous landing system, most are still not fully automated. For example, most models will only recover their aerial view when they hit the ground. Additionally, most are unable to avoid high winds and other airborne obstacles. In contrast, Quadcopter models are equipped with software that allows them to navigate through most obstacle free areas.
The main advantage of these new crafts is the increased flexibility. They can be flown indoors and outdoors without any impact to the battery power source and operating costs. They offer a much larger field of view than the fixed-wing aircraft. This allows for more precise maneuvering during a flight and more accurate mapping. This is an important part of the military arena as accurate mapping is needed for extensive research in certain areas. While there are other benefits such as greater portability and a longer flying time, there are many personal reasons why people prefer the Quadcopter model.
The first personal reason to use a Quadcopter is that it allows a user to get a bird’s eye view of an area before taking off. It allows the user to see the terrain and other features of a destination in a faster and safer way. By mapping the area, users can avoid making critical errors that could potentially cost them the trip. They can also map out possible hazards and prepare for any high winds or other obstacle that might be experienced during the trip. By avoiding these mistakes, the user is able to reduce the potential risk of an injury while on a hike or fly fishing.
Another advantage of these machines is that they are more aerodynamic than fixed-wing aircraft. This results in a lower airspeed and better fuel efficiency. In addition to this, they can also operate at higher altitudes because of the lift generated by the rotors. The rotors also reduce the noise in the cabin and allow for greater control. Quadcopter rotors are also very lightweight, which makes them easier to store and transport.
