Laura Write

This year, by the University, I had to write a blog and in English. I generally like to write. I feel that when writing ideas are sorted, clarified and materialized. When  you write a blog, in a way you must empathize with the person on the other side of the screen, so that what you write is pleasant to read and easy to understand. And a blog is not only about writing, it's also about visual components. The colors must be eye-catching and pleasant, the images are also very important, as images are the first impression of the post. But it's another thing to write in English. At first, I struggled to transfer ideas to another language, but over time it became more bearable and ideas were flowing more easily. Although the topics that I have written have not been my free choice, it has been a pleasure to write to you and be able to tell you a little more about me. I must admit, the post I enjoyed writing the most was about my favorite food. The words flowed and in a short time I wa...

Today I a m going to talk to about chickpeas. Chickpeas are my favorite food, I love chickpeas. But especially the chickpeas cooked by my mom. Although I know the recipe, I never manage to match the taste she gives her. Therefore, every time I travel to see her, I ask her to wait with a delicious dish of chickpeas. In general, the chickpeas are very versatile. You can prepare traditionally as stew. Or you can also eat them in the form of hummus. Hummus is a very friendly way to eat legumes, as it serves to spread, as a food accompanist, or to eat it for a spoonful. In addition, you can make many versions of hummus. With beetroot, with paprika, with avocado, with turmeric and infinite combinations more. From a very young age I remember that chickpeas have been in my life. When I lived in the countryside, I remember when they were planted, watered and cared for, harvested and let dry before they were threshed. And obviously after threshing they cook a delicious dish of chickp...

In forest engineering usually (not to say always) studies and analyses the environment in which we are involved, and we are part, such as geography, water resources, wildlife, forests, ecosystems and society. And in this semester, I had to study a subject called Geomatics. At first it didn't attract much attention to me, but as I was studying I realized that it is very interesting. Geomatics is the science that deals with the management of geographical information using information and communication technologies. Geomatics is a very useful tool in forestry engineering. Through the Geomatics can be analyzed various environmental phenomena. For example, the consequences of climate change in the vegetation cover, the behavior of the species (flora and fauna) in a particular place, you can analyze different topographic features of the landscape that serves as support in the decision-making. One of the basic things that I learned to do, was to use a software to do different ...

In the forestry engineering we use many geospatial data.  These data are needed primarily to determine the work area in research. For example, the region of the country, commune or locality. To obtain this information there exists a web page that is called IDE (www.ide.cl) That means Geospatial Data Infrastructure. The IDE of Chile is a network of public institutions working in a coordinated and collaborative. With the objective of making available to the whole community, geospatial information updated and reliable. That is useful for public and private management, also attending to the needs of citizens. On this website you can find SHP layers near flora and fauna, limits and borders, climate and atmosphere, economy, geosciences, images and base maps, environment, health, transport, society, agriculture and livestock, energy networks and basic services, installations and buildings, location, directions and network Geodesic, planning and land register. You can also find off...
