Did you know that you can use GNSS to monitor a volcano? or the rise and fall of an acquirer? this episode made me realize that GNSS is more than simply a means of locating something on earth, it's a way of understanding how the earth's crust is moving!
Other topics that you might find interesting in this episode:
- Using Earth Observation to map the underlying geology
- Lidar as a teaching tool
- Using GNSS multipath error to monitor snow depth and vegetation growth
- The importance of science communication

Maxime Lenormand is an aerospace mechanical engineer turned geospatial data scientist, he is also relatively new to the earth observation world.
This is an episode about how Max ended up in Geo and why he decided to move from hardware to software. But it's also about having a sense of wonder about the work we are doing and not being afraid to ask questions and have an opinion.

This episode is not just about how to be better at teaching and helping students learn geospatial skills and concepts, it's also about building and selling online courses. It's about education as a service and how we make the service as assessable as possible.
But more broadly, it's about being better communicators and helping people get to where they are trying to go.

This is not a deep dive technical explanation of all things Landsat, it's a brief overview of the Landsat mission, what it takes to launch a Landsat satellite, how the data get back to earth, and what it is used for.
There is also a brief discussion of Landsat next ... the future of Landsat ;)
You can access Landsat data here
