THE WORKFLOW
- Frame the question geographically
Begin with a study area and the public datasets relevant to it.
- Compare source families
Place environmental observations, infrastructure and dated imagery in context.
- Preserve uncertainty
Differentiate measured, modeled, historical and unavailable information. Verify conclusions against the original publisher.
WHERE IT FITS
Useful context.
Honest boundaries.
Potential fit: geospatial researchers, educators, environmental analysts and data journalists exploring non-personal public datasets.
Relevant data
NASA imagery and events, NOAA observations, USGS water and earthquake sources, and public GIS.
What not to assume
No claim of scientific validation, exhaustive archives or universal real-time coverage. Source usage terms and attribution remain important. Public visibility does not make individual profiling appropriate.
These are intended use cases, not customer endorsements or evidence of adoption. Commercial release is in development.
