The mission of the Geospatial Revolution Project is to expand public knowledge about the history, applications, related privacy and legal issues, and the potential future of location-based technologies.
Geospatial information influences nearly everything. Seamless layers of satellites, surveillance, and location-based technologies create a worldwide geographic knowledge base vital to solving myriad social and environmental problems in the interconnected global community. We count on these technologies to:
- fight climate change
- map populations across continents, countries, and communities
- track disease
- strengthen bonds between cultures
- assist first responders in protecting safety
- enable democracy
- navigate our personal lives
