my brilliant geospatial career 6 dec 2011
DESCRIPTION
this is a presentation I gave to 200 high school girls to explain what the geospatial industry is about and to encourage them to study geospatial or surveying, or to include it as a subject in their other studies. It lasts about 20 minutes. Very well received by girls and teachers.TRANSCRIPT

It’s all about where
• Where is the illegal logging of orangutan habitat?• Where is the criminal?• Where is the nearest ATM?• Where is the high voltage electricity cable?• Where can I buy vintage fashion?• Where are the flood victims?• Where is the water being used or wasted?• Where is the party this Saturday night?
