[OSGeo Africa] Durban and Zimbabwe Data

[Khalid Mather]

Thanks Mr Smit. Im currently doing my MSc in geography/environmental
sciences and I want to use remote sensing and GIS to map out the urban heat
islands effect. What im trying to do now is establish how much urban growth
has occurred since apartheids end, I think I can make some inferences from
that regarding urban heat and planning. I will make an account on the
website you linked, thanks so much.

Warm regards
Khalid Mather
