Educational Product Review: AGIS (A Geospatial Industry Series)

Ever since the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced that there will not be enough trained geospatial technologists in the coming years, there's been a "land rush" to grow new practitioners. There are efforts aimed at the youngest students, at those a bit more mature and at those specifically looking to jump start a geo-career. Some of these are government funded; others are from entrepreneurial businesses reacting to demand. No matter the backing, we in the industry need to keep an eye on these efforts to ensure they are teaching the skills we need now and into the future. Adena Schutzberg looks at Digital Quest's first book in that company's new series: AGIS (A Geospatial Industry Series).

DGI 2008 is Europe’s annual gathering of the defence and government geospatial intelligence community. Bringing together Heads of Geospatial Intelligence, GIS, Remote Sensing, Operations, and Imagery and Analysis, the conference provides a unique forum to discuss and debate the development of geospatial intelligence capabilities across the globe.
