The MapScaping Podcast - GIS, Geospatial, Remote Sensing, earth observation and digital geography

What Is Modern GIS?

Modern GIS is the process, systems, and technology used to derive insights from geospatial data. Modern GIS uses open, interoperable, and standards-based technology. It can be run locally or in the cloud and can scale to work with many different types, velocities, and scales of data.

Building a web based mapping tool into a business

Tom MacWright is building a web-based mapping tool into a business and you are probably thinking, wait, don't we have those already? 

 

So why is he building a new one?  and why take the risk of trying to build it as a business? This is an open and honest discussion that is relevant for anyone with an idea to make something new.

Digital twins - not just a buzzword

 

Digital twins are enabled by cloud infrastructure but are they being driven by data density or the need for more information?  What is real-time data and why it's not a real-time problem? We even manage to weave a robotic dog called spot and a reference to the professional metaverse

Getting Your Dream Job in Earth Observation

This is Eric Jensen's story about how he moved from academia to the private sector.

This story involves informational interviews, social media, networking, a personal website, professional podcasts, and a fancy CV template ... but it all started with the understanding that it was time to move on.

Fake Satellite Imagery

Well if the title does not grab your attention then this episode is not for you!

This episode is all about using AI to generate satellite imagery using generative adversarial networks ( GANs ).

That might sound scary if you have not used to working with AI but Ron Hagensieker does a brilliant job of walking us through the concept and the process.

Ron is the founder and CEO of OSIR.IO and you can reach out to him here: ron@osir.io
