2023/02/22

It sounds like a clickbait title, right? And to be fair I am trying to capture your attention but this is not clickbait in the sense that the title makes a promise that the episode lives up to! This is not a “get-rich-quick-scheme” its a story about someone like us who is earning money by using his geospatial skills to teach others. Konrad Hafen is a hydrologist with the USGS and runs two websites and a youtube channel, he is a geospatial content creator who makes money from ads and from selling

So you might be wondering why the United Nations World Food Programme needs a geospatial support unit. Let me give you a brief overview, Basically, they curate and maintain global datasets that they use to model the risk of sudden-onset disasters than might lead to a food security risk. They use this model to send out early warnings to at-risk communities and help with the response when disasters happen. Of course, there is more to it ...

Aerial Imagery: The State Of The Art

2023/02/01

Personally, I don't feel like aerial imagery gets the attention it deserves! So I invited Michael Bewley - Senior Director of AI Systems at Nearmap back on the podcast to help bring us up to speed on the state of the art of capturing, processing, and building a business around aerial imagery. If you don’t care about aerial imagery, think of this as a story about turning unstructured data into structured data into insights and building a business around that.

The technology stack and the cultural stack

2023/01/25

This episode covers a wide range of topics from the role of geospatial in systems thinking - representing natural systems in location systems and how we can apply the technology behind virtual worlds to the real world. During this conversation, it became clear to me that technology should be used in service of culture and not the other way around. I think in terms of geospatial we have an interesting opportunity to have an outsized impact if we can just figure out how to market it! I often think

We cover a lot of ground in this episode but some of the key takes are: A key difference between visualizing non-spatial data and spatial data is that non-spatial data gives you the freedom to choose the locations of different objects. Design is not a process, a way of thinking, and the outcome of not necessarily something visual We are getting closer to the promise of custom maps for everyone, and we are already seeing personalized maps Content with Alan Mcconchie here:

For some time, there was hype around AI and data science and that they would solve all of our problems. If you think AI solves every problem, then you’re overestimating its utility and where we’re at. However, on the other side, if you’re a business of any size, operating at least some type of technology, and you think AI can solve none of your problems — you’re also mistaken.
