The Scene From Above Podcast

In this episode we ask each other a few EO based questions, that turn out not to be as quick-fire as we initially thought they would be. In the news we talk about space junk, a Copernicus workshop, a UK spaceport and Earth on AWS. Amongst other things. If you have questions, comments or corrections then you can contact Alastair (@ajggeoger) and Andrew (@map_andrew) on Twitter using #scenefromabove or @eoscenefrom Shownotes: Space fishing! Reducing space junk using a harpoon and/or a net. And another article about reducing space junk. The double-decker bus converter. Amazing oblique imagery from Planet. Also, an oldie-but-goodie launch from the ISS. Cryosat used to monitor the Antarctic. Announcing the Inaugural Earth on AWS Fellowships and Internships Program. Copernicus for Water Management workshop.

In this episode we talk about using analytics and analytical methods to extract information from imagery, rather than just looking at nice images. In the news we talk about Remote Pixel, conferences, and a new R software package. Amongst other things.

In this episode we talk about whether or not Google Earth is still the killer app that non-specialists go to for their Earth observation fix, and what the next app might need to look like to take over the mantle from GE. We also chat about wildfires, openEO, the ISS and more.

The demo podcast to understand what we sound like and to gather some feedback. We know Alastair's microphone quality needs to be improved - we'll work on that over the course of Season 1.
