Abstract
Abstract. The rapid evolution of three-dimensional (3-D) geospatial science has redefined the standards of national mapping and cadastral agencies (NMCAs). Traditionally bodies of authoritative 2-D topographic products, these organisations now face the challenge of producing, maintaining, and disseminating national-scale 3-D geospatial datasets that support applications ranging from climate adaptation and urban planning to disaster response and digital twins. This paper presents a comparative study of five NMCAs, comprising IGN (France), BKG (Germany), Kadaster (The Netherlands), GSI (Japan) and USGS (United States of America). By examining agency structure, economic models, and 3-D data collection programmes, this paper identifies converging trends in AI integration, national surveys, along with divergences in funding and implementation. The analysis highlights insights and potential lessons for organisations at early stages of national 3-D dataset implementation.
Geomorphological studies conducted by the Geological Survey of Brazil (SGB-CPRM) have evolved since the 1970s, with significant methodological advances over the past two decades in institutional projects. In this context, multiscale mapping of landform patterns has become established as a fundamental approach to terrai...

Abstract. National Mapping Agencies (NMAs) have traditionally mapped their respective countries in two dimensions, taking inherently three-dimensional information and generalizing it into a flat projection plane. While some NMAs have moved completely to a three dimensional data model, many are still working in 2D, ofte...

Abstract. The CO3D mission, launched in July 2025, aims to reconstruct the Earth’s continental surfaces in 3D. Assessing the quality of the resulting digital surface model requires an inter elevation data comparison tool, leading CNES to collaborate with the GlacioHack collective and join the governance of their open-s...

The World Programme for the Census of Agriculture 2030 (WCA 2030) marks a paradigm shift in how countries design and implement agricultural censuses. It explicitly encourages the integration of Earth Observation (EO) and geospatial data to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and comparability. This paper presents a methodolo...

We present a new geospatial dataset that describes both the extent and depth of inundation in the United States and outlying territories under global scenarios of sea-level rise. This new dataset incorporates projections from the 2022 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) technical report: Global and R...
