Pakistan towards achieving another milestone !

A proud milestone for Pakistan 🇵🇰

Two of our finest, Khurram Daud and Muhammad Zeeshan Ali, are heading to China for advanced astronaut training under the Human Space Flight Program.

This marks a historic step towards Pakistan’s presence in human space exploration.

Space Exploration and Human Endeavor has no Limits !
All the Best to NASA Artemis ! !

The National Center of GIS & Space Applications (NCGSA) is pleased to highlight the launch of the Pakistan Forest Trees Carbon Calculator; a powerful, user-friendly tool developed through our Forest Resource Assessment Section, G-SAB Lab by Dr. Sami Ullah (Dr.rer.nat.), Associate Professor of Digital Forestry & Chairman, Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, The University of Haripur, and Co-Principal Investigator at NCGSA’s Forest Resource Assessment Section.
This interactive calculator uses tree species-specific allometric equations tailored for Pakistan’s forests. It helps users quickly estimate:
✅ Biomass (kg)
✅ Carbon Stock
✅ Carbon Credits (now also in tons!)
Designed to support accurate carbon accounting, climate action, REDD+ initiatives, and sustainable forest management — powered by cutting-edge GIS & Space Applications.

We believe technology combined with local expertise can drive real impact on Pakistan’s climate goals.

Tag a forester, researcher, or policymaker who should know about this tool!

This Pakistan Day, we reflect on the momentous decision that paved the way for independence.
Together, let us strive toward sustainable development, justice, and a stronger Pakistan.

Eid Mubarak!🌙✨
Let's celebrate gratitude, share sweets & smiles, may this Eid heal hearts and open doors to everything beautiful ahead.

When women are given the opportunity to lead, create, and innovate, the entire world benefits. Happy International Women's Day!

On International Women’s Day, the film Jahan Aur Bhi Hain - Beyond the Blue , a production of National Center of GIS and Space Applications in collaboration with Beaconhouse National University, BNU and LockDown Productions, highlights women’s empowerment through Dr. Zainab, portrayed by Amna Ilyas. A brilliant climate scientist, she defies traditional norms to pursue science and uses satellite imagery and geospatial data to protect vulnerable communities from environmental disaster. When systems fail to act, she courageously takes a stand returning to her village as a force of hope and change. Her journey reminds us that empowering women in science and leadership strengthens entire communities.
