LandMapR Challenge LandMapR is a Landform Classification System application that was originally developed by Bob MacMillan to show the lowest elevations, as well as classify various elevation points. This tool is used for hydrological modelling and land-form classification. The code was provided with the caveat that it be an open-source application, but the program was in need of upgrading in several areas. Solution Improvements to … Continue reading Bob MacMillan, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) »
Digital Soil Mapping and Yield vs. Topography Relationship Challenge This area of research is focused on exploring the relationship between higher average yields and topography so that this information can be utilized to create recipe maps. Solution Recipe maps provide a reduction in inputs resulting in decreased costs and lessened environmental impact while increasing profitability in yield. This area of research underlies technology development projects. … Continue reading OMAFRA, Yellow Gold Farms, Schulyer Farms, AgInfoSys »
Shock Function for Early Warning of Extreme Temperature Drops CHALLENGE The PrAgMatic data collection system is the basis on which the shock function has been developed. By examining data collected utilizing PrAgMatic sensor clusters, variability characteristics of the clustered sensors showed a distinct character during extreme temperature drops. The shock function is an effort to first classify and then develop an early-warning system for extreme … Continue reading PrAgMatic »
