  • A Planet of 3 Billion - Chris Tucker

    Chris Tucker is a polymath with deep roots in geography.  His awakening about human use of natural resources during the mid-1990s has now manifested into his new book entitled “A Planet of 3 Billion.”  Interviewed by Adam Simmons and Darryl Murdock, join us as Chris talks about the key concepts in how humans have not only reshaped the planet but how we must actively pursue information sharing and support policies that reduce and even reverse centuries-long indiscriminate use of our shared ecology without thought of what he refers to as “human exhaust.”  Rather than preaching the gospel of Gaia, Chris provides meaningful data that show where we have been, where we are today, and what we can individually do to help ourselves ensure nothing less than the survival of our own species.  He is inquisitive, intuitive and funny. Our bet is this is the first of many interviews we will have with Chris.  Tune in to the first in this new co-hosted series.  You can purchase Chris Tucker's Book, A Planet of 3 Billion at the below Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/Planet-Billion-Humanitys-Ecological-Destruction-ebook/dp/B07V9BC8XM/

      SpaceNet, launched in August 2016 as an open innovation project offering a repository of freely available imagery with co-registered map features. Before SpaceNet, computer vision researchers had minimal options to obtain free, precision-labeled and high-resolution satellite imagery. Today, SpaceNet hosts datasets developed by its own team, along with data sets from projects like IARPA’s Functional Map of the World (fMoW).

      About CosmiQ Works

      Founded in 2015 as a technology challenge lab within In-Q-Tel (IQT), CosmiQ Works is an IQT Lab focused on developing, prototyping, and evaluating emerging open-source artificial intelligence capabilities for geospatial use cases. Artificial intelligence will fundamentally change how geospatial analytics is performed and CosmiQ Works helps accelerates the development and adoption of these technologies into deployable products. And by the way, it’s pronounced “Cosmic.”
