RE: Using Geographic Information System (GIS) to create accurate 3D topografic simulations
GIS is indeed a wonderful field! Especially since the possibilities, and available data is getting increasingly larger. Another great tool for accessing and using publicly available data is the Google Earth Engine. It offers many of the publicly available datasets and is a cloud computing platform, meaning you do not have to download any data or run any code! Amazing isn't it? I have written some posts and papers about it and I'm currently working on a tutorial series about it.

Amazing! I really should read them, I am actually working with GIS in my airport project. Took me a great deal of research to come up with the tools a few years ago but I am open to see what the new software might bring to the equation. Thanks for the tip, I am signing up now! I will also read your tutorials on it, really curious about the tools.
