The Concept Of Indigenous GIS
--
Reading a paper (http://alturl.com/8wte5), they used the specific term ‘Indigenous GIS’ – and I found this intriguing!
As I read it, spatial data collection and analysis was done with a focus on how a tribe or social group might ‘see’ the data, including spatiotemporal....
I look forward to finding out more about what others are working on! – so PLEASE feel free to share any examples that you might have…

“Highlights:
• A novel method for detecting geothermal components from solar energy dominated LST.
• Using LST time series to eliminate temporal variant solar energy input.
• Uncertainty in anomaly identification quantified by probability measure.
• Capable of revealing LST anomalies caused by geothermal, anthropogenic and surface processes..."
