Content Themes
The podcast primarily focuses on the latest advancements in reality capture tools like drones, CAD, and scanning techniques, with episodes covering deliverables from reality capture, the use of drones in natural disaster response, and assessing benefits of these tools in varied industries including urban development and environmental monitoring.
At Site and Scene, co-hosts Mike Liggett and Scott Harrigan feature the innovators, disruptors, and changemakers using reality capture technology to drive real impact. These are the people who saw a problem, challenged the status quo, and took action—whether restoring ecosystems, improving resilience, or transforming infrastructure. They bring a deep sense of responsibility and stewardship to their work, leveraging technologies like drones, laser scanning, GIS, and mapping to create meaningful change. More than just experts, they are storytellers—sharing their journeys and the “why” behind their work. Our mission is to amplify their voices, educate, and inspire others to push boundaries and take action.
Prepare to dive deep into the evolving world of geospatial technology with Paul Mead of GeoNadir. Paul offers a unique perspective on geospatial innovation, particularly from an environmental standpoint, shaped by Australia’s expansive and diverse geography.
In this episode, we delve into:
* **GeoNadir’s Approach:** Discover how GeoNadir is simplifying access to drone and satellite data, streamlining the process of data management, analysis, and sharing for improved decision-making. Paul highlights that the environment is not merely a sector but the “stage on which everything else happens,” emphasizing the crucial interaction between developed and natural landscapes.
* **Collaborative Mapping:** Learn about GeoNadir’s strength in “collaborative mapping,” enabling effortless sharing and real-time teamwork on large datasets in the cloud – as simple as sharing a Google Doc.
* **The Evolution of GIS (GeoAI):** Paul discusses the promising future of conversational AI for geospatial data, where users can interact with models for faster insights, integrate drone and satellite data for enhanced accuracy, and even receive suggestions on where to acquire new data.
* **Fostering Future Talent:** Explore the impactful “She Maps” program, co-founded by Dr. Karen Joyce, which utilizes micro-drones to engage thousands of students globally in geospatial science, building confidence and connecting them with industry professionals.
This insightful discussion offers a deeper understanding of geospatial technology and its expanding role in environmental stewardship and education.
