Could we see floods 🌊 evolve on streets in immersive 3D before damage happens? 📰Our new paper published in CEUS led by Dr. @rohan_debayan introduces a 4D geospatial flood digital twin to address this challenge: doi.org/10.1016/j.comp…

Our first Colloquium lecture of the semester was electric! ⚡ From mapping energy transitions, strengthening resilience in 4D, to satellite imagery prediction — we covered it all. A big thank you to our faculty guest speakers Debayan Mandal, Salma Elmallah, Heather Baier and to all attendees! Stay tuned for our next Colloquium happening on Friday, Oct. 10 with #SGSUP Instructor Kaelin Groom. More details here: sgsup.asu.edu/events More details here:

Assistant Teaching Professor Debayan Mandel recently attended and presented at the International Cartographic Conference (ICC) in Vancouver. His presentation, "Advancing Urban Flood Preparedness with 4D Geospatial Digital Twins" highlighted how digital twin technology can strengthen disaster resilience and urban planning. ICC was a great networking opportunity that brought together delegates from across the globe, offering new perspectives on cartographic innovation in diverse cultural and institutional contexts. #Cartography #ASU #Networking

🏗️ GIS-BIM Integration: Managing Infrastructure Beyond Handover In many infrastructure projects, design and construction get all the attention — but what happens after commissioning often determines the true value and resilience of that asset. This is where GIS-BIM integration becomes a game-changer: it brings spatial intelligence into the entire lifecycle of a building or infrastructure asset — from operations and maintenance to long-term planning and upgrades. Imagine this: 🔹 You’re managing a public hospital. With GIS-BIM, you can spatially locate every MEP system, oxygen line, and access route. Maintenance doesn’t just follow schedules — it follows spatial logic. 🔹 In a university, you track underground cables, fire systems, or CCTV coverage in real-world coordinates, layered with surrounding land use, future development plans, or risk zones. 🔹 For county governments, you can monitor building stock — schools, dispensaries, admin blocks — not just in isolation, but how they relate to terrain, flood zones, road networks, or land tenure. Instead of flipping through PDFs or CAD drawings, facility managers and planners can interact with a spatially intelligent model — seeing what’s where, what’s failing, and how surrounding conditions are changing. This goes beyond reactive maintenance. With GIS-BIM: - Work orders are tied to specific locations and systems - Emergency response becomes spatially guided - Infrastructure upgrades align with regional development plans - Asset depreciation and lifecycle costs are tracked with geographic awareness - Cities and counties can begin to build true infrastructure digital twins Why it matters: We’re moving from managing assets in silos to managing spatially-aware infrastructure ecosystems. GIS-BIM bridges not just systems, but disciplines — planning, engineering, facilities, and policy — all working from the same geospatial canvas. This is what smart infrastructure actually looks like — connected, contextual, and coordinated. 👷‍♂️ At @OrionGeospatial, we work with public and private clients to bring GIS-BIM integration into real-world infrastructure and facility operations. From spatial asset mapping to lifecycle planning tools, we help you build, operate, and maintain smarter. 📩 Let’s talk if you're rethinking how infrastructure should work — not just at design, but for decades after handover. #GISBIM #InfrastructureManagement #SmartFacilities #AssetLifecycle #GeospatialIntegration #DigitalTwins

@Ray_GISer @tamugeography @ASU_SGSUP @binbinlin_GISer @HengCai_gis @Mingzhe17878696 @JoynalAbedin_du @Burak_Guneralp @yanrayd Thanks Professor! I will always be grateful for your guidance in shaping my view. Hope we continue our collaborations in the future as well.

Congrats to my PhD student @rohan_debayan at @tamugeography for joining @ASU_SGSUP as an Assistant Teaching Professor in Spring 25! His work develops advanced digital twin models and CyberGIS solutions to enhance disaster resilience! Proud of you! Wishing you continued success 🌍

Congrats to my PhD student @rohan_debayan for leading the publication of “PRIME: A CyberGIS Platform for Disaster Resilience Assessment and Enhancement” in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems🎉 Let’s keep thinking spatially for a resilient future 🌎 authors.elsevier.com/a/1jqnqjFQh0Ytj

A range of ethical and governance issues arise when applying #geospatial #AI and #DataScience in research, policy-making, and other contexts. We invite you to submit your work to the @ijgis Special Issue on Ethics in Geospatial AI and Data Science: think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issues….

Thank you @NSFiGUIDE for choosing our team for the Rising Geospatial Data Scientist Award! Big congrats to my PhD student @rohan_debayan for leading the research on CyberGIS for disaster resilience! Hope our efforts will help vulnerble communities build a sustainable future 🌎

Congratulations to my PhD student @rohan_debayan for publishing his recent work in @cartographyGIS. Our research quantifies the algorithmic uncertainty in geolocating social media data with different methods at multiple scales for disaster research🌎. Any feedback is appreciated!

@MushtaqBilalPhD Am pretty sure you had posted once on using consensus through gpt

6. Consensus Go to consensus(dot)app and type in your question. Consensus will give you a list of relevant articles. Click on "Copilot" and it will generate a summary of the most relevant articles for you. Consensus has both free and paid plans.

🚨Don't use ChatGPT for academic research. It's hallucinating wildly, making up fake papers that don't even exist. Instead, use these 6 AI apps to get real citations to published papers.

Congratulations to @gissong, @Yingjie_Hu, and @WenwenLi_ on publishing the Handbook of GeoAI! It's an honor for our team to have contributed a chapter on GeoAI for Disaster Response shorturl.at/rMOPR. I look forward to diving into the book and incorporating it into classes!

Happy #GISDay Thrilled to share that my PhD students @JoynalAbedin_du & @Debayan76770564 won 1st and 2nd places at the 2023 Texas GIS Day Graduate Competition! This follows the achievement of my PhD student @binbinlin_GISer who won 1st place in 2022 Competition. Congratulations!

GIS has changed
