The Mappyist Hour - AGS Geography 2050

Tee and Silas sit down with Dr. Chris Tucker and Dr. Marie Price, the leadership duo behind the American Geographical Society, to preview the upcoming Geography 2050: Powering Our Future Planet symposium. From visualizing the energy grid of the future to mapping the "state secrets" of global wind patterns, this episode explores how geography is the ultimate tool for understanding our changing world. The group also discusses the resurgence of geography education in high schools, the democratization of mapping through open data, and why everyone—from CEOs to high school students—needs to think spatially to solve tomorrow's problems.
