Roger F. Tomlinson, OC (17 November 1933 – 7 February 2014)was an English geographer and the primary originator of modern computerised geographic information systems (GIS), and has been acknowledged as the "father of GIS." Dr. Tomlinson was a native of Cambridge (England) and prior to attending university, he served in the Royal Air Force from 1951–1954 as a pilot and flying officer. After his military service, Dr. Tomlinson attended the University of Nottingham and Acadia University for two separate undergraduate degrees in geography and geology, respectively. He received a master's degree in geography from McGill University where he specialised in the glacial geomorphology of Labrador. His Doctoral thesis at University College London was titled: The application of electronic computing methods and techniques to the storage, compilation, and assessment of mapped data. Dr. Tomlinson's early career included serving as an assistant professor at Acadia, working as the man

IIT Delhi-University of Queensland International Joint PhD in Science, Engineering, Management, Humanities: Apply by March 22 Start your future on Coursera today.       BY: USHA | 24 Feb 2020 11:17 AM   The University of Queensland, Australia and IIT Delhi have created a joint research programme titled UQ-IITD Academy of Research (UQIDAR). UQIDAR will attract the best global talent, including elite students, academics, researchers and scientists to work on goal-directed, cross-disciplinary grand challenges that are of interest to Australia, India and the global community and that also align with The University of Queensland (UQ) and Indian Institute of Technology (IITD) research strengths. UQIDAR will enable UQ and IITD to enrol the brightest and most talented students in a joint PhD with joint supervision from both institutions. It is anticipated that the majority of students (i-students) will be recruited into the joint-PhD program in Delhi, and there will be a small cohort of Austra

1 Note down the departure and arrival times.  Write down the times on a sheet of paper using the local times for the airport. For example, if you depart from New York City, you would write the time as it was in the Eastern time zone. If you land in California, you would list the time as it was in the Pacific time zone.[5] Arrivals and departures posted at the airport are usually in the time zone for the local airport. 2 Convert the times so they are in GMT.  Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT, is the standard time in London and never changes for Daylight Saving Time. Every other time zone is behind or ahead of it depending on how far west or east you travel respectively.[6] For example, New York City is -5 hours from GMT. If you depart at 6 AM, add 5 hours to convert it to 11 AM GMT. The state of California is -8 hours from GMT, so if you arrive at 9:30 AM, you would add 8 hours to get 5:30 PM GMT. Find the GMT times for each time zone online or use an online calculator to help you. 3 Calcula

Ice Patterns on Binnewater Lake. These attention-getting patterns in lake ice were observed over Binnewater Lake, New York on January 24, 2020. This photo was taken from a small (2 seat) plane. The ice was in the process of melting. Trying to explain all of the odd ice patterns seen on lakes and ponds, even on puddles, is challenging since so many factors play a role, many that aren't at all obvious at first glance. In most years, lake ice doesn't freeze evenly so it regularly contracts and expands throughout the season. Initially, a hard freeze perhaps caused the ice to contract, forming the cracks. The circular ring pattern shows that the primary source of the stress was radial. A small upflow hole in the ice is where the ring pattern originated. As the ice began to melt, open water rose through the cracks and after another freeze this water froze and expanded. This process was repeated with additional thaws and freezes. Presumably, the ice further from shore was thinner, so
