Carbon Project Releases Free Geospatial Session File for Queensland

The Carbon Project has released a gallery of free Geospatial Session Files (GSFs) with location content for Queensland, Australia. The region was just impacted by Cyclone Larry, a Category 5 storm.

“To many people in North America and other parts of the world, Queensland is quite an unfamiliar place, perhaps best known as a "jump-off" point for the Great Barrier Reef. To help folks become more familiar with this region that is now struggling to recover from Cyclone Larry, The Carbon Project is pleased to provide a gallery of Geospatial Session Files (GSFs) for Queensland, Australia,” said Jeff Harrison, President and CEO of The Carbon Project.

The location-based content for these session files was provided by the Spatial Interoperability Demonstration Project (SIDP), GlobeXplorer and other sources. The content was pulled using online OpenGIS map servers accessing data from a variety of Australian and U.S. sources.

The GSFs are available online and accessible through the free Gaia geospatial web browser. Gaia was developed with CarbonTools, an API for bringing location-based content into Microsoft .NET.
