Trimble GNSS Integrates with Ecobot’s Natural Resources Platform  to Enable Fast Sub-Meter Accurate Wetland Delineation   SUNNYVALE, Calif.  —Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that Ecobot, a software company that provides cloud-based applications to speed environmental regulatory reporting, has joined Trimble’s Mapping & GIS Partner Program. As part of the program, Ecobot has implemented Trimble integration tools to add high-accuracy positioning capabilities within its wetland delineation app. The app, which runs on iOS mobile devices, connects with the Trimble® R1, R2, and R12 Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers to record precise field data. The combined solution allows Ecobot customers to provide fast, accurate U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) wetland delineations, which establish the location and size of a wetland for government regulatory purposes.    Built using industry standards around the existing wetland delineation workflow, the Ecobot app wo

Potsdam, NY (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dr. Hayley Shen a professor emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Clarkson, and her international research team, are trying to predict how the changes in the Earth’s climate may affect the ice conditions in the Arctic by using computational modelling. “Changes to Arctic ice coverage are a key indicator of our changing climate, and the impacts of reduced ice cover are still being identified,” Shen said. “Taking measurements in the Arctic is challenging due to the extreme conditions, so for a long time, scientists relied on limited observations and theoretical modelling to understand the ice-ocean-atmosphere system.” Dr. Shen has established a model that can be used to help forecast waves in areas of the ocean that are covered by ice. Shen and her team focus on how waves change as they move through a body of water covered with ice and how new ice growth is affected by the wave conditions. Over the past three decades, scientists have been stu
