“The American Geographical Society (AGS) is an organization of professional geographers, founded in 1851 in New York City. Most fellows of the society are Americans, but among them have always been a significant number of fellows from around the world The society encourages activities that expands geographical knowledge, and the interpretation of that knowledge so that it can be useful to geographers and other disciplines, especially in a policymaking environment. It is the oldest nationwide geographical organization in the United States. Over the century and a half of its existence, the AGS has been especially interested in three regions: the Arctic, the Antarctic, and Latin America. A signature characteristic of the AGS-sponsored exploration was the requirement that its expeditions produce tangible scientific results…”

My Pontification – Being a Spatial Data Professional Moving Forward Is Being Ac Active Part Of A Larger Technical Team
--
The real strength of GIS today isn’t in being the “GIS person (aka boffin) in the corner”, on some island where you got info supplies on a schedule (to overwork the metaphor!)
That island is gone. The role of the spatial professional is – and should be – shifting…
Instead – for the betterment of all! - it is in being a collaborative part of a technical team working on real problems - where your primary (but not only) contribution is spatial data and spatial thinking, as #alldataisspatial
If you go with the eicky #businesspeak jargon, it is about being the bridge not the silo 🗺️💼
You don’t have to be (and can’t be) the expert on every part of a project (that is why there is a team!) - but you do want and indeed need to know enough about the different technical aspects of the work to be genuinely helpful as it proceeds. The more you understand the context, the better your contribution, including in problem solving and perhaps seeing potential concerns & the proverbial ‘areas for improvement ‘
Get curious about each use case, especially the technical aspects and the desired outcomes for the team. Ask questions. Collaborate. Let the domain experts teach you their world, and show them what spatial thinking can add in return. That exchange is where the best work happens.
Solid, definable progress shows up when your skills fit into & hence complement & amplify the broader technical picture - and when you’re willing to grow with the team rather than sit in a narrow role. Pigeonholes are for birds, not GIS professionals.
P.S. Nobody cares which flavor of spatial tools you use. They care that you know how to use them well, creatively, and in service of the problem at hand.
P.P.S. The project I have been working on & with for the last decade (!) - rightly - went from a 'cartography product’ with an almost ancillary spatial data use' - 'evolving spatial data that is ALSO used for cartography - and much more!'...

Using Analytic Hierarchy Process to Determine Optimal Locations for Fire Observation Towers in Iran’s Shafarood Forest

“… Th[is] article explores how …GIS and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used to identify the best locations for fire observation towers in a forested region of Iran. By combining elevation, slope, road access, and visibility analysis, the research team created a data-driven model to maximize monitoring coverage and support forest protection efforts.
… The methodology could be applied to everything from emergency management and environmental monitoring to public infrastructure and asset management.
That's the power of GIS: turning complex questions into informed decisions…”
--
“Forests have been seriously affected by fire; therefore, it is necessary to detect fire from the observation towers. Currently, the number of observation towers and the effectiveness of their distribution is unknown. The aim of the current research is to determine the current and potential areas that can be seen from the observation towers. Another goal of this research is to propose a new network to maximize its effectiveness. The analysis of the field of view in …GIS software was done by integrating the digital height model and the road network map, vegetation cover, etc. to determine the entire surface of a field of view. It was found that the observation towers resulting from the designed model approximately cover the studied area for the supervision of the security staff. In addition to the designed model, an experienced expert staff took a close look at the field with GPS and according to the experiences, selected places for the construction of an observation tower and placed them on the designed model, and then witnessed the approximate coverage of the field visit…”

[not at all my technical area - but fascinating, including the spatial component #alldataisspatial]
H/T @jeevan Labh
“As we navigate the intensifying impacts of the 2026 El Niño, the vulnerability of our global food systems require careful evaluation. With this year’s erratic weather patterns driving severe, prolonged droughts in some regions and unseasonal, devastating floods in others, the climate crisis is proving that it is not a distant threat; it is happening right now, in our fields and on our plates.
This crisis is more visible in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region. Often called the “water tower of Asia,” this vast mountain range sustains 240 million people across eight countries and provides essential ecosystem services to nearly 2 billion people downstream. When glaciers melt at accelerated rates and monsoons become unpredictable, the narrative often focuses solely on the mountain communities. But the truth is much broader: a disrupted harvest in the high hills of Nepal or Bhutan creates a domino effect. It leads to displaced populations, reduced agricultural output flowing into the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra basins, and ultimately, skyrocketing food prices for families living in the sprawling downstream plains.
The climate crisis respects no borders and recognizes no difference between altitude and sea level. Because this problem affects us all, the solution must protect us all. Fortunately, the means to overcome this challenge are already in our hands, locked within the ancient seeds of the mountains…”

“FEMA’s Hazus GIS platform has been updated with a new ArcGIS Pro–based version, bringing faster, more powerful tools for estimating losses from floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural hazards.
Key updates in Hazus 7.2 include:
• Streamlined workflows for flood and hurricane modeling
• New Earthquake ShakeMap integration using USGS data
• Expanded and improved results exports and reporting (including geodatabase outputs)
• Stronger security with known vulnerabilities addressed
• Performance improvements and optimized installation process
• [Significantly enhanced and comprehensive summary reports for flood and earthquake are now available for download.]
• Full integration with ArcGIS Pro (3.4–3.6) for a modern GIS experience
This release represents a significant step forward in how hazard planners, emergency managers, and GIS professionals analyze and prepare for disaster impacts…”

“As LiDAR becomes rapidly refreshed, globally available, and directly ingested by machines, the question is no longer what we can measure.
It’s whether humans retain the ability to understand, intervene in, and redirect how those measurements are used over time.
This article focuses on spatial sovereignty, not as a policy position, but as a design discipline, and on why alignment with established standards is becoming a prerequisite for effective scale…”

These are some (topobathy) floodplain images I made a few years ago for a specific usecase – and ‘stumbled’ across them again today, lookin’ for something else…
Every time I look at such things, the (engineering) geologist, geomorphologist, (pseudo) hydrologist, spatial data scientist in me is made happy in being reminded what access we have to (often open) spatial data and the sheer volume of it, and the use cases for which it can be leveraged.
We are lucky professionals…

Excellent points, which is why I shared - but one they kind of missed was misinterpretation... it is a natural system, so the algorithms and process to take EA data and interpret necessarily can never be 100% perfect, and nor should they be expected to be. Ground truthing and other checks & balances are a crucial part of any such interpretation.
