“Early [1967] video description of the first operational GIS, the Canada GIS. The "father of GIS," Roger Tomlinson is highlighted. It is also an excellent description of how GIS operates today although the technology is considerably more advanced than when CGIS was first developed…”

I don’t know Joe, but I came across Joe’s work in my role as a geologist (the world topobathy image), and I was impressed so I sought out more; I think you will be impressed as well… [not considered a specific endorsement though, just my personal opinion, you know the drill]…

An excellent and engaging presentation at the Denver Museum Of Nature & Science (DMNS); I love seeing use cases, adaptation, data being used to make things better, faster, stronger, more efficient - especially in the context of climate-change-related challenges and vulnerabilities.

“With a trio of smaller satellites that can each detect 26 wavelengths of light, the Landsat Next mission is expected to look very different from its predecessors that have been observing Earth for 50 years. This new plan for Landsat Next, a joint mission of NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey, is designed to provide more frequent, and finer resolution, data of the changing surface of Earth…”
