  • See how steep a lot gets and how much dirt has to move before you price the grading ➡️ https://goo.gle/4yHh0PQ A parcel that looks flat from the road can hide a grade shift that turns a standard pad into a hauling bill. Outline your site in Google Earth to map slope down to 1-meter resolution, then run cut and fill to see the excavated and fill volumes needed to level the ground so more dirt stays on site. Standard includes one tool-generated layer a month, with higher limits on Professional plans when you are comparing multiple sites.

    Great to see how Google Earth AI is helping global health partners move from reactive crisis response to proactive prevention. For example, our Population Dynamics Foundation Model has been especially helpful in enabling research institutions and organizations to tackle tough health challenges: 🫀Targeting heart disease: NYU Langone Health is using PDFM to spot cardiovascular risks in vulnerable neighborhoods in real-time, helping doctors deploy resources faster. 💉Finding vaccine gaps: Mount Sinai Health System and Boston Children's Hospital are using PDFM to track cross-border travel patterns, uncovering U.S. counties with low immunization rates that traditional models miss. 🦟 Predicting dengue surges: Pairing climate models with PDFM helped researchers at Oxford and Tec de Monterrey forecast outbreaks in Mexico early enough to allow local health officials to take action. 💧Stopping cholera: WHO AFRO - Expanded Special Project for Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases (ESPEN) team in the DRC is using PDFM to identify waterborne disease hotspots up to eight weeks ahead of time. The dataset is now available in Preview as Population Dynamics Insights on Google Maps Platform. Huge thanks to the research teams and global partners doing this critical work to protect communities worldwide. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gj9CJfHs
