New IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine !!!

Beginning in March 2013, GRSS will publish the new IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine, which was approved by the IEEE Technical Activities Board in 2012. This is an important achievement for GRSS since it has never had a publication in the magazine format. The magazine will provide a new venue to publish high quality technical articles that by their very nature do not find a home in journals requiring scientific innovation but that provide relevant information to scientists, engineers, end-users, and students who interact in different ways with the geoscience and remote sensing disciplines.

Hawth’s Tools – Free Tools for Spatial Analysis

Hawth’s Analysis Tools provides a suite of solutions for tasks common in spatial analysis. Specifically developed for ecological studies, these tools can be used in any application for analyzing spatial data. They extend (and in some cases simplify) core ArcGIS functionality that is not available out-of-the-box. The extension consists of more than fifty tools that cover a broad range of analysis types including analyzing, sampling, and editing vector as well as raster data, and tools for common operations in tables and CSV files. All tools and descriptions can be found here:

The tools run on ArcGIS 9.x at the ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo license levels. *These tools do not support on-the-fly projection changes, so it is important that tools that use more than one input layer have the same projection.
