<p>Welcome to the 145th Daily Field Note! Here you find the top post of the day, one covering each scientific field that is included by Geopolis. Since these authors put a lot of effort in writing a good post they surely deserve the extra exposure.</p>
<p>Geopolis is a project to promote and connect authors who write in the fields of global sciences. You can read more about the project and how to join here:</p>

<p>Living in an ever changing world, the time for performing local development policies or just thinking about a complex environmental situation with a couple of other people is not sufficient to get the insight needed. The technological advancement are so great that now you can use a specialized suite of software and simulation solutions to get the most out of any civil development or engineering project. From designing highways, to accurately predicting the traffic flow between various city areas, the Geographic Information System or GIS can help a lot. I am not going to get into what GIS is, as another steemSTEM author, langford, described it</p>

<p>Doing fieldwork in Central Asia is "fun". The good days are awesome, sun, mountains, views, whilst the bad days are something else, wind, dust in your eyes, and perhaps a headache from being up at altitude (sometimes over 4,500 m altitude). Here among the yurts and yaks there are many things to see and learn from. Tectonics raise these mountains up. Gravity combined with ice, landslides, and river erosion help pull these mountains down. A constant battle of forces. There is much to see here and learn about the mountains. A slightly interpreted version is below in Figure 2. Photo taken at about 4,000 m above sea level...</p>

<p> </p>
<p>For centuries, the African continent has circle jockeyed to and fro in nearly all of the cultural, socio economic and political aspects of its life, the culmination of which was colonialism and then independence and now dependence.</p>
<p>Without delving too much into those machinations, I want to say that as it is, and where we are as a continent, we have moved sufficient historical distance and experimented with sufficient economic and political philosophies to be able, I believe, to evaluate with clarity, the full scope of the age in which we live as Africans, and to forthwith draw the right conclusions, the full extent of which ought to make obvious one fact: we have outgrown as a people and as a continent, the luxury of trading ourselves as the poster continent of everything except self-directed economic and political growth.</p>
