    Doug Specht: Mapping the Unmappable

    This episode is sponsored by Bee Maps. Doug Specht, a cultural geographer, joins Steven to discuss the power and limitations of maps in representing complex human experiences, particularly in times of conflict. He highlights the decisions that cartographers make about what to include and what to leave out, and how these choices can shape our understanding of a place or situation. Doug emphasizes the importance of recognizing that maps are not neutral or objective, but rather laden with power and subjectivity. He also explores the role of technology in mapping and the need for readers to critically engage with maps and understand their purpose.

    Robin Cole: Deep learning and EO

    This episode is sponsored by Bee Maps. Dr. Robin Cole joins Alastair to discuss the application of deep learning to satellite imagery and the growing community in this field. Robin shares his background in optical physics and how he transitioned into remote sensing and deep learning. Deep learning, a specific part of the AI family, uses neural networks to process satellite imagery and has seen significant advancements since 2012. The volume of satellite imagery requires automated means of analysis and indexing, and deep learning models have made this possible. There are standardized methods and libraries, such as PyTorch and TorchGeo, that facilitate deep learning in the geospatial domain. The community Robin has built focuses on sharing resources, knowledge, and expertise in deep learning and Earth observation.

    Ed/Steven: A great London night

    Steven and Ed look back on the recent (ept 18th) Geomob London, a celebration of OpenStreetMap's 20th birthday. It was easily the largest, but also possibly the best, Geomob London yet, with a phenomenal turn out. Our hosts discuss the talks, the crowd, the evolution of the project, the diversity of its community, and the impact of technology and AI on mapping. They explore the balance between corporate involvement and individual contributions, and the global perspective of OpenStreetMap.

    Marc Prioleau: Overture leaves beta

    Mark Prioleau, Executive Directory of the Overture Maps Foundation, rejoins the podcast to share an update. The conversation covers topics such as the general availability of Overture Maps, the data themes available, accessing the data, the hierarchy of sources for buildings data, and the challenges and improvements of the places data. The episode highlights the importance of cloud-native formats and the potential for integrating open data with proprietary data. Overture is focused on creating an open base layer for mapping data that can be used by application developers. They aim to provide a global, open, and entity-based reference system that allows for the conflation of data from various sources. The goal is to create a comprehensive and up-to-date map dataset that can be distributed to billions of people. Finally, Marc shares why he sees the relationship with OpenStreetMap as complimentary.   Show notes on the Geomob website, where you can also learn more about Geomob events and sign up for our monthly newsletter.

    Kenneth Field: When not to make a map

    Steven is once again joined by old friend and "professional catornerd" Kenneth Field to discuss the question of whether or not every dataset should be turned into a map. They explore the idea that maps are a form of communication and should be used when they are the best tool for conveying information. They discuss the importance of thoughtful map design and the need to consider the audience and purpose of the map. They lament the proliferation of maps that may not be effective or meaningful. Steven and Ken discuss maps that they regret making, sharing examples of maps that they created but later realized were unnecessary, poorly designed, or insensitive. Overall, they emphasize the importance of asking the right questions and making intentional decisions when creating maps.
