UK must unlock geospatial data to improve planning

UK must ‘unlock’ geospatial data to improve planning Fragmented geospatial data collection and ownership is undermining planning decisions in the UK, according to a new government-backed report. The report from the Geospatial Commission, an independent expert committee with Cabinet Office backing, has made a series of recommendations for unlocking the potential of data to improve both planning and development across the country. Among the findings were that the quality and objectivity of planning decisions can be undermined by “the lack of interconnectedness and interoperability between related datasets” collected for different purposes. The software used by different disciplines was also faulted for “locking users into systems that can’t talk to one another”, while access to ‘raw’ geospatial data was too often “a manual and time-consuming exercise”, according to the report.

Incredible map reveals details British dinosaurs on small tropical islands

A new map showing the location of a series of small tropical islands 200 million years ago in the area that is now Bristol sheds new light on how British dinosaurs lived. University of Bristol researchers examined hundreds of pieces of data including historic literature describing the region as being like the Florida Everglades. The data was carefully compiled and digitised so it could be used to generate a 3D map of the once Caribbean-style environment that is now the west of England. The islands were home to small dinosaurs, lizard-like animals and some of the first mammals to live on the land, according to lead author Jack Lovegrove.
