Project Geospatial is proud to host GeoSpark Analytic's Weekly Pulse as an exploratory trial to give you the latest updates on global events based on a unique Geospatial Technology. This week is narrated by Marina Franklin, Geospark’s Head of Commercial Strategy. The news is generated by GeoSpark's Hyperion application which gathers news from global sources, social media, economic sources, NGOs, and government in near-real-time. Hyperion translates, reads, geo-positions, and analyzes the information to find trends in the data, identify abnormalities, and analyze breaking events impact on local and regional stability levels. Listen in and find out more.
