Welcome to the debut episode of Earth Observed, a podcast shaped by a shared fascination with our planet and the technology that transforms how we see it. This is a space to hear from the people designing satellites, building geospatial platforms, and turning vast streams of Earth data into tools for understanding and improving life on the ground. Our first guest is Bill Greer, Co-Founder of Common Space, a nonprofit building an open-access, independent high-resolution satellite constellation designed specifically for humanitarian action. Bill has centred his career on making geospatial data more available and accessible, from building satellites at Albedo, analytics and monitoring products at Maxar, advancing data openness at GeoCommons and Esri, and developing open methodologies at Timbr.io. Tune in to hear rare insights from Bill's unique, end-to-end perspective on designing and building space systems, remote sensing architecture, and applying GIS in the field to save lives.Join your host, Sam Warwick, Head of Staffing for Geospatial and Earth Data at DeepRec.ai, in exploring the stories behind the technology, straight from the people building it.
