From NASA Satellite Images (1966) to Google Earth (2008):
Geography, Geomatics and GIS Have Come a Long Way
Dr. Barry Wellar is a leading innovator, researcher, and scholar in the fields of geography, geomatics, and geographic information systems (GIS), and his contributions to applied research in government, the business sector, and academia are internationally recognized. In this Lecture Dr. Wellar uses the phrase “Triple G” to emphasize how the fusing of geography, geomatics, and GIS is creating new opportunities and challenges for researchers, practitioners, educators, students, entrepreneurs, and the public at large.
