Over the last half-decade or so, we have started to see the effects of climate change turn from theoretical future concerns to present issues in the form of both extreme weather events as well as more subtle changes to weather patterns that affect day-to-day life. With that, every industry is looking to reduce their effects on the planet and scientists from many disciplines are looking for ways to reverse these trends. In the meantime, though, we also need to find ways to adjust to these trends, something that can be greatly helped by geospatial technology, including GIS.
