We’re back with a new season of Location Matters! To kick off the first episode of season three, we’re joined by David Kroodsma, Director of Research and Innovation at Global Fishing Watch, and Brian Sullivan, Program Manager at Google Earth Outreach. David and Brian look back at how Global Fishing Watch started and how the platform is utilising Google Cloud and Google Earth Engine to identify fishing vessels with high risk of forced labour, track illegal fishing in North Korea, and so much more.   https://globalfishingwatch.org/ (Global Fishing Watch) https://www.google.com/earth/outreach/ (Google Earth Outreach) https://globalfishingwatch.org/research/2019_analysis_illegal_fishing/ (Illegal fishing in North Korea study)

The Geo for Good summit brought together change makers, not-for-profits and scientists to share and collaborate on initiatives to create a sustainable planet. In this episode of Location Matters we're joined by two attendees from this years' summit, Nathan Eaton, Executive Director at NGIS Australia and Sam Atkinson, Manager at EO Data Science. We'll be covering the stand out initiatives, what they both learnt and the exciting new announcement made by the Google Earth Outreach team.  In this episode:  1:00     Why did you attend the Geo For Good summit and what did you want to get out of it this year? 1:40     Can you tell us about the new integration announced at the summit and what this integration means for people already using Google Earth Engine? 3:15     How significant is the role of the scalability of the Cloud when it comes to Earth Observations? 4:20     Can you tell us about the Coastal Risk project developed by NGIS, why you were invited to present this project at the summit and its impact since being released in 2016? 7:30     How was the Coastal Risk project received at the summit? 8:20     Can you tell us about what the plus codes project is and how this will empower remote communities? 11:00    What were some of the stand out initiatives for you over the three days at the summit? 14:20    Were there any stand out projects from the buildathon session? How are you going to apply the things you learnt at the summit back here in the work you’re currently doing? 17:35    If I wanted to get started using Google Earth Engine, where should I start? 18:22    Where can I learn more about Geo For Good and the work showcased there?

500 Women Scientists (starts 3:01) Ecologist Jane Zelikova explains how an acquaintance while at CU-Boulder led to an open letter she co-authored with Kelly Ramirez about science . . . and this ultimately launched an advocacy group.  Over 19,000 women scientists have joined 500 Women Scientists.  They have on line and also local community face-to-face discussions, and they plan to be part of Earth Day's March for Science. Tracking Methane Leaks with Google Street View Cars (starts 10:00) Colorado State University biologist Joe Von Fischer is on a mission to reduce pollution from leaking natural gas lines and their potent greenhouse gas, methane.  Partnering with the non-profit Environmental Defense Fund  and Google Earth Outreach, his team uses Google Street View cars for a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive inventory of urban methane leaks to display on Methane Leak Maps.  A New Jersey utility plans nearly $1 billion of leaky gas line upgrades guided in part by this CSU data.

Allie Lieber is a Program Manager at Google Earth Outreach, which means that she travels the world helping non-profits used Google Earth to achieve their missions. She's worked with the Jane Goodall foundation to help preserve chimpanzee habitats in Tanzania, she's worked in South East Asia to identify land mines, and she's even using google maps to help stop the spread of malaria. In this interview we talk about how Allie got this amazing job, how a childhood experience taught her how to lean into fear, and how to avoid getting attacked by baboons.

Forty years ago when a logging road was blasted deep into the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, the outside world discovered the Surui people. Contact with the Western world led to their decimation by disease, warfare and illegal logging and mining. The Surui organized to save themselves and their homeland by electing a young leader to tell their story to the world. Chief Almir Narayamoga Surui traveled from the Amazon rainforest to the Google-plex to ask for help to bring his people back from the brink of extinction and save their precious rainforest. The collaboration with Google Earth Outreach manager Rebecca Moore has helped map a next world that marries the best of tradition and conservation with the best of high technology.
