[GRASS-dev] GSoC Project: Temporal Algebra for GRASS

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi Sören and Thomas

The last few days I explored a little bit the possibilities of the temporal GIS framework in GRASS 7.
I have to say, that I already now love it though I just have touched the surface of it possibilities!!! All who contributed to this development, thank you very much, you really did an amazing job! And I am really looking forward to the forthcoming improvements in the GSoC 2013 project!

The way I acquainted myself with the concept of the new tools was through Sörens presentation at the geostats course. What I would found really valuable would be a collection of more "real life examples", where and how the tools are used in practice and for different purposes. Is there already a wiki page (which I am not aware of) with examples like how to calculate Growing Degree Days, Drought periods (in the context of climate data) and stuff like that?

Cheers
Stefan

Hi all,
in my previous mail I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Thomas Leppelt and I'm a PhD student at the Thuenen-Institute in Germany. I'm working together with Soeren Gebbert, who is my mentor in our Google Summer of Code project 2013. Our aim for this summer is to develop a temporal algebra for raster and vector maps in GRASS. You can find some more details on the GSoC page:

https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/mastho/5001
It is the first time for me to develop software for an open source project. So I'm very curious and I hope that we can contribute a little piece of software in collaboration with the community.

Best regards

Thomas
