Smart Point Clouds: What If Every Point Knew What It Was
Point clouds still feel a little bit like magic to me. You walk through a room, a city, or even just your living room with a scanner or your phone, and you can recreate it afterwards. But on their own, point clouds aren’t actually that smart. So what would it mean for every single point...

Cloud-Native Geospatial for Small Teams
Cloud-Native Geospatial for Small Teams: How the Utah Geological Survey Did It What happens when a small, technical team at a state agency decides to go cloud native? They don’t have terabytes of satellite imagery. They have lots of small datasets, lots of scientists and lots of people who just...

GERS, Metadata, and Maps Built for Machines
We already have a map. Actually, we have lots of maps. So why did Overture build another one? My guest in this episode is Amy Rose, CTO of the Overture Maps Foundation, and she makes a pretty compelling case. Overture isn’t trying to replace OpenStreetMap — it sits downstream from it, and from...

The Evolution of Positioning Systems
Republished Episode – I wanted to resurface this episode because positioning is everything, and it’s a great overview of how it works. Right now you are being bathed in radio signals from about 35 satellites, each one 20,000 km away, and every one of them is weaker than the noise floor of the...

Sentinel Bird
Earlier this year I ran a small experiment called the Geospatial Launchpad — six weeks of working closely with a couple of people to help them push their geospatial projects forward. West was one of them. His project is Sentinel Bird (sentinelbird.com): an archive of every Sentinel-2 visit over…

Fields Of The World
Where does one field end and the next one begin? It sounds trivial right up until you try to answer it. In this episode, I’m joined by Hannah Kerner — Assistant Professor at Arizona State University, AI Lead for NASA Harvest and NASA Acres, and Research Advisor for Taylor Geospatial — to talk…

Virtual Worlds for Physical AI Systems
In this episode I’m joined by Apurva Shah, co-founder and CEO of Duality AI, a company building virtual worlds — or “world models” for robots and physical AI systems. Apurva’s path here is an unusual one. He spent most of his career in animation, first at Pacific Data Images (which later became...

GPS, But 100 Times Stronger
My guest today is Tyler Reid, co-founder and CTO of Xona, a company building the first commercial satellite navigation system. We get into why Tyler and his team are moving satellites into low Earth orbit and what that unlocks. Stronger signals that can penetrate indoors, more resilient timing...

Turning Aerial Imagery Into a Searchable World
Vexcel isn’t a household name — but you’ve almost certainly used their data. This aerial imaging company flies low-elevation aircraft across roughly 45 countries, capturing imagery at 7.5cm resolution from five different angles (straight down plus four oblique views), building one of the richest...

Cloud Native for the Rest of Us
What happens when you take cloud native geospatial out of the satellite-and-petabyte world and drop it into a small city with no budget and the world’s slowest internet connection? In this episode, Daniel talks with Nissim Lebovits, a city planner turned geospatial data scientist, about his nine...

Mapping With 360 Cameras
Jeffrey Martin is the co-founder and CEO of Mosaic, a company building 360-degree camera systems designed specifically for mapping. He’s been obsessed with 360 imagery for over 20 years — he built one of the first websites combining panoramic images with a map back in 2005, before Google Street...

Who Pays for Open Source?
Open source software runs a huge chunk of the geospatial world — but somebody still has to pay for it. In this episode I sit down with Marco Bernasocchi, creator of QField and CEO of OpenGIS.ch, to dig into the awkward question most open source projects avoid: how do you keep something free and...

The Great Retooling
Ian Schuler is the CEO of Development Seed — the team behind a lot of the open source tooling that quietly holds up the geospatial world. He’s been at the helm for over a decade, and in this conversation, we dig into what he calls the great retooling: the idea that cloud-native geospatial is...

Earth Observation – The Invisible Industry
What is Earth observation, really — and why, after fifty years of satellite imagery, is it still not “mainstream”? In this episode, I’m joined by Aravind Ravichandran, founder of TerraWatch, an independent research and advisory firm focused entirely on Earth observation. Aravind writes the...

10 Tools for Telling Stories With Maps
Ryan Shields has one of the most interesting careers in geospatial — from remote sensing for conservation in the Caribbean, to disaster response data engineering with FEMA, to his current role turning spatial data into animation assets for Johnny Harris’s YouTube channel at New Press. In this...

Agents, Guardrails, and the Death of the Dashboard
Nadine Alameh is back — former CEO of the Open Geospatial Consortium, and now CEO and co-founder of Lunate AI, a six-month-old company sitting right at the messy intersection of geospatial and AI. In this conversation, Nadine breaks down the three types of clients she’s seeing right now…

How HOT Is Rethinking Drone Mapping
What happens when you put professional-grade aerial mapping in the hands of the people who actually live in the places being mapped? In this episode, I’m joined by Rebecca Firth, Executive Director of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) — a global community of around 750,000 people building...
