REDD stands for \u201creducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.\u201d Clark Labs developed these tools for Verra, the leading standards organization for the conduct of REDD projects.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the Earth Trends Modeler, a new tool for climate teleconnection analysis, which is used to identify recurrent climate patterns over wide spans of the earth that are generally obscured by short-term variability (El Ni\u00f1o and La Ni\u00f1a, the periodic warming and cooling of the central and eastern Pacific,\u202fare well known examples that lead to dramatic weather changes worldwide, but many others exist).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A major suite of tools for raster editing. Satellite images and many environmental data sets are best stored as raster images \u2013 fine numeric matrices that can be displayed as colored pixels on digital displays. Maps created from satellite images often need manual editing. Based on the experience gained from 10 years of mapping shrimp aquaculture and its impacts on mangroves in the tropics for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Clark Labs has developed a suite of special tools for facilitating the process.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The new version also will be streamlined by removing components that relied on external programs that are no longer supported by their original developers. These include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The deprecated MAGICC\/SCENGEN 5.3 tools from the National Center for Atmospheric Research originally developed for the fourth IPCCC climate assessment.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The United Nations\u2019 Food and Agriculture Organization\u2019s standalone ECOCROP database of information on plant characteristics and crop environmental requirements, now replaced with an on-line tool. Because of this and the previous point, the Climate Change Adaptation Modeler will be removed after moving some components to the Habitat and Biodiversity Modeler.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ecosystem Services Modeler, based on the InVEST toolset from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalcapitalproject.stanford.edu\/software\/invest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Capital Group<\/a> will also be removed. Newer open-source and freely available tools are now directly available from that group and work well with TerrSet\/IDRISI. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"arrow\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FClarkCGA%2Fterrset%2Freleases&amp;data=05%7C02%7CTKashikar%40clarku.edu%7C94fa944453484ed5f21708dd19420bee%7Cb5b2263d68aa453eb972aa1421410f80%7C0%7C0%7C638694493647526658%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=onmIsryZaVbud7%2FJ7h2fF4fvyJp7PR8zzoB5%2FPhg5jA%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">List of new features and bug fixes<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"arrow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/geospatial-analytics\/terrset\/frequently-asked-questions-transition-to-terrset-liberagis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TerrSet liberaGIS FAQs\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new version of TerrSet\/IDRISI, called liberaGIS, will include:&nbsp; The new version also will be streamlined by removing components that relied on external programs that are no longer supported by their original developers.
