Book Review - Earth Imaging and the Geolocation Revolution

Earth Observation and SensorsBook Review
Written By Adam Simmons

Veteran geodesist and author Thomas P. Ager joins hosts Adam Simmons and Daryl Murdock on Project Geospatial to demystify the complex science of geolocation and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Ager unpacks concepts from his latest book, Earth Imaging and the Geolocation Revolution, challenging the GEOINT community to stop treating satellite imagery as a "flat sheet of rubber". The episode tackles the hidden potential of SAR phase data, the mechanics of Rational Polynomial Coefficients (RPC) for rapid positioning, and the urgent need to overcome technical illiteracy with smarter, more accessible open-source tools. Tune in to discover how bridging the gap between advanced orbital data and user-friendly applications is actively transforming the future of spatial intelligence.
