Us population density map 3d4/12/2024 ![]() ![]() Yes, profitability is a bad KPI (I doubt there's a place where public transport is actually profitable) - usage would be a better one. The goal should be to provide mobility for the most people possibleįor that you need to buy fuel (either fossil fuels, electricity or hydrogen), you need maintenance (both for the vehicles and for the infrastructure), which means - costs. Not really (I would've replaced coal energy with nuclear or fusion completely if I've had a chance), I just like to be a devil's advocate for the sake of the argument. You seem like the type of person that would want nuclear fusion banned because it'll put coal miners out of work. With modern technology you do not have to live and raise your kids in a city. Nobody really likes living in urban areas. Because I believe that in 30-40 years time, more people are going to appreciate those open spaces. ![]() The third way is to help them transition to a more eco-friendly and sustainable way of working. Because building homes has even larger negative effects. There is a third way between letting them do as they please and shut them down for building homes. ![]() I value that so much, that I want those farmers to remain there. I can still see the horizon and I value that, even when the lands between me and the horizon are private property. But what they all do is, is keeping the land open. You may not agree with the way the farmers do their business, but I agree with you on many occasions. Is it enough? No, not nearly! Is that reason to start building homes? No, not even close! And the latter was my point. The entire island of Schiermonnikoog has been doing so from years before they became a national park and so have major sections of Friesland and Overijssel. ![]() Large portions of Noord-Holland, such as between Zaan and Schermer are using nature friendly land management methods, as happens in the triangle Zaandam, Purmerend, Broek in Waterland.

Grey areas do not have population within the floodplain. FEATURED PHOTO TOP: The area around Dhaka visualized where the height of the middle map above hexes represents the population density (dark orange being the densest). RIGHT: 1984-2020 surface water flux around a 5 km buffer of the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazaar. MIDDLE: Population density within the floodplain aggregated to 20 km hexagons. LEFT: Population density within the floodplain in and around Dhaka. For more information, please contact Benjamin White at (301) 652-4334. ME&A’s GTG also offers technical training and capacity building in the use of geospatial technologies and practices. Integrating geographic information systems with robust, custom solutions assists ME&A clients in making data-driven decisions to improve coordination and development outcomes. ME&A has used its geospatial resources to support USAID projects and evaluations in more than a dozen countries. ME&A’s Geospatial Technologies Group (GTG) provides geospatial services across ME&A’s practice areas to enhance the design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of development programs. These visualizations provided insights useful for data-informed decision-making within the international development sector and added significant value to the results of NASA, NOAA, and similar Earth observation agencies. ME&A’s resulting 3D visualizations showed which areas were the most vulnerable to flooding adjusted for these adaptations. These adaptations can range from sociocultural or socioeconomic adaptations to structural adaptations in urban areas. While some approaches to mapping floodplains are driven almost exclusively by elevation measures, ME&A’s approach factored in multiple variables and allowed for potential adaptations to flooding. ME&A’s analysis combined satellite data on surface water variability with data on the extent and ecology of flood plains and high-resolution population density data. ME&A recently assessed the national-scale flood dynamics of Bangladesh, including the vulnerability of its population to flood events. In a country like Bangladesh where 70 million people live in flood-prone areas, satellite imagery can greatly inform flood mitigation and response planning. ![]()
