The Scene From Above Podcast

In this episode we record ourselves together in the same room for the first time, and discuss what skills are useful to have if you want to get a job dealing with EO imagery, and whether those skills have changed over the decades. In the news we talk about the Geospatial Commission and MasterMap, Sentinel-5P and space harpoons! 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 @eoscenefromShownotes:

In this episode we talk about what software might be good for EO image processing and whether you should know a bit of coding and have a decent laptop. In the news we talk about ICEYE, LiDAR data, Open-EO and geoint trends. Amongst other things.

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.
