In 2009, Penn State Public Broadcasting, licensee of Penn State University, began to educate and engage the public and policy-makers about geospatial developments and applications with their Geospatial Revolution Project, "an integrated public media and outreach initiative about the world of digital mapping and how it is changing the way we think, behave, and interact."
This short video offers an excellent
overview of how geospatial imaging and GIS technologies work together in life- and
world-changing ways. One of the featured speakers in this film is GeoEye’s Vice
President of Communications, Mark Brender. GeoEye is proud to be a first-in leadership
funder for the Geospatial Revolution Project.
