Geospatial

operations worldwide. The field of geospatial engineering and geospatial intelligence is an ever developing field, as Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and techniques are continuously improving due to significant advancements in the civilian sector. Reserve component units, specifically Brigade Combat Teams (BCT), face a challenge to producing technically and tactically proficient teams based on the limited amount of time available for training. Geospatial teams in reserve component BCTs must utilize…

It makes sense, that is a Spain collectivist society and lean more towards the feminine culture. They are more traditional and sensitive to group, family achievements rather than individualism. There are important attributes to social values is correlated with traditional in-group and local related identification, and that values predicting social identities are different across cultures, especially in the case of values related to local identification. In a study between Brazilians and Spain,…

There are five methods in total known as the “INTS” and each holds their own strengths and weaknesses. GEOINT (Geospatial Intelligence), which consists of photography or snapshots taken by satellites or reconnaissance planes; MASINT (Measurement and Signature Intelligence), which tracks emissions or “signatures” issued by weapons such as missiles or nuclear warheads; SIGINT (Signals Intelligence), information derived from intercepted electronic communications such as phones, personal computers…

This is critical when trying to apply the many aspects of the individual intelligence disciplines to an area undergoing a civil war, or areas of hostility such as the area associated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in the Middle East. Having different assumptions for each of the intelligence disciplines is quite common, and it is up to the individual analyst to combine them into a coherent form. Human Intelligence (HUMINT) may have one assumption based upon personal interaction…

different classes and labs in the sub disciplines such as geology, geography, meteorology, geospatial sciences, environmental geoscience and geoscience education. The department offers a B.S. undergraduate degree program in Geosciences with emphasis in six different sub-disciplines or concentrations: Professional Geology, Geography, Environmental Geoscience, Broadcast Meteorology, Professional Meteorology, and Geographic Information Systems. At the graduate level, department has Earth and…

My family is able to buy healthy food notwithstanding many people around us don't have that luxury An organization called Grow Harrisburg is looking to change this this situation. I will help them accomplish their goals, implementing the GIS skills I learned at the Geospatial STEM Academy. This project will consist of helping Grow Harrisburg and my local farmers market named Augusta Locally Grown to determine how many people they serve using data already collected by the organization to perform…

I am currently a battalion level S-2 intelligence professional serving within a stryker brigade combat team. The current imagery needs of Soldiers at the tactical level are not being met with the current systems used by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). We have been working very closely with Digital globe and their EVWHS service and have found that their system is superior in every way to the NGA systems. The problem with other existing systems for obtaining imagery are…

have been to a few career fairs before, but it really was without purpose or any idea how I would present myself to the employers. I am grateful for this class for the opportunity to prepare for this past career fair. I recently have shifted my major from International relations to Geography with an emphasis in Urban planning. I also had thoughts to switching my emphasis to geospatial intelligence. I had the goal of obtaining internships and discovering the opportunities found in both majors.…

ETHICS IN GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY As geospatial technology advances, it becomes increasingly more important to implement an equally advancing ethical component. It is relatively easy to acquire geographic information and share it with millions with a click of a button, such as a simple geotag on a safari vacation. Few people, however, recognize that geotags’ magnitude and how it could be aiding in the mass poaching event of African rhinos. South Africa’s National Parks have been fighting poachers…

that exists at the federal level. They serve as a vital link between intelligence and law enforcement communities throughout the United States. The top priorities of the FBI are combating threats of terrorism, counterintelligence, cybercrimes and counterterrorism, where their attention is focused on Weapons of Mass Destruction. The FBI also addresses threats of foreign intelligence that attempt to penetrate the US while targeting terrorist who attempt to access computer systems. The National…
