Geospatial Revolution: Episode Four Released

The fourth,  final episode of the Geospatial Revolution project, created by Penn State Public Broadcasting, has been released.

If you’ve missed any of the previous episodes, I strongly recommend that you check them out. Episode One covered a wide overview of “how” and “why” questions regarding geospatial technologies, and Episode Two dug into more specific examples including the City of Portland and the well-known shipping company UPS. Episode Three discussed how geospatial technologies are using in war and in keeping the peace.

Episode Four covers four main topics:

• Monitoring a Changing Climate

• Preventing Hunger

• Tracking Disease

• Mapping Power to the People

As with the previous episodes, you can choose to watch each segment individually or simply watch the full 17 minute video below.

Congratulations to PSPB on creating such an excellent series of videos!
