Stephen Wood, an imagery analytic and geospatial professional, will present "Satellite Imagery, Information and Insight: Response to Real-World Demands" at 3:30 p.m., Nov. 20 in 107 Hardin Hall (auditorium). The seminar is part of Geography Awareness Week and is free and open to the public.

The seminar will explore the role that geospatial insights and applications will play in the future. Geospatial analysis can inform and spur innovations by offering answers to critical questions across a wide array of commercial, public and governmental issues.

Wood will highlight a diverse set of historical and current case examples from the commercial imagery satellite industry to show how imagery, information and insight is already being utilized by civil agencies, defense and intelligence organizations, oil and gas exploration companies, infrastructure management and first responders.

Wood has more than 25 years of experience in the U.S. government and geospatial industries. He joined DigitalGlobe in July 2000 after nearly 14 years with the Central Intelligence Agency where he served in a wide variety of roles, including a senior intelligence officer, executive staff officer and an arms control inspector. He is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire.
