Presented to Congress in July 2014, the plan is billed as the first-ever assessment of the federal civil Earth observation enterprise, and involves approximately 300 volunteer subject matter experts across 13 areas of expertise. The plan is intended to provide strategic guidance for a balanced portfolio of civil Earth observations to fulfill agency mandates, achieve national objectives, and help inform federal investments. The plan outlines five key priorities: continuity of sustained observations for public services; continuity of sustained observations for Earth system research; continued investment in experimental observations; planned improvements to sustain observation networks and surveys for all observation categories; and continuity of, and improvements to, a rigorous assessment and prioritization process.

Richard Medina received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in geography from California State University, Los Angeles, in 2002 and 2004, respectively. During his studies, Medina worked in the commercial and government sectors, including two years at the Oak Ridge National Labo- ratory. He then went on to pursue a Ph.D. in geography at the University of Utah, during which time he won a USGIF Scholarship in 2008. Having attended every GEOINT Symposium since 2008, Medina finds USGIF’s flagship event and scholarship program to be great tools for helping GEOINT students better their academic future. “Students need to make these connections and see what company and government needs are,” Medina said. “It’s great to have students involved because the academic viewpoint is important for the future of geospatial intelligence and its application—it would be great to get more students involved.” After obtaining his Ph.D. in 2009, Medina became an assistant professor in the geography and geo-information department at George Mason University—one of USGIF’s 10 accredited universities—and continued the research he started at the University of Utah on international terrorism and human geography. With the many years he’s dedicated to this topic, Medina was also selected in 2013 as the recipient of the USGIF Academic Research Award.

As a result of its proximity to Fort Bragg, FSU enrolls a large number of active-duty service members and veterans. This military connection also makes it a logical step for the university to offer students the opportunity to develop promising careers in GEOINT. With the help of the NGA funding, FSU revamped its curriculum and in November achieved USGIF academic accreditation for its GEOINT certificate program, making it the tenth school to be USGIF accredited.

>> In ancient Greece, Zeus was king of the gods. Among ancient Greeks, however, the preeminent deity was likely his brother, Posei- don, God of the Sea, to whom fishermen and mariners prayed prior to each voyage. It’s no mystery why: With its mountainous landscape, scant farmland, and vast coastline, Greece had no choice but to cultivate a maritime economy, shipping goods abroad to trade for food. Smooth sailing was paramount. Today, 90 percent of the world’s trade travels by sea, according to the United Nations’ International Maritime Organization (IMO). Its most recent survey of international shipping, published in 2012, concluded the amount of cargo traveling by sea has grown more than three-fold in the last 40 years, increasing from 2.5 billion tons in 1970 to 8.4 billion tons in 2010. As of 2011, IMO estimated, the world’s merchant fleet consisted of 104,304 ships manned by approximately 1.5 million seafarers of nearly every nationality. Though Poseidon retired long ago, smooth sailing is as important as ever.

LETITIA LONG REFLECTS ON HER TIME AT THE NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY; ROBERT CARDILLO Conveying SHARES HIS VISION FOR THE FUTURE. CONSEQUENCE or the past four years, Letitia Long led the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) as it matured, delivering on her promise to put the power of on-demand GEOINT into Fthe hands of NGA customers. Under her leadership, the agency gained the national spotlight for its role in the 2011 capture of Osama Bin Laden. Meanwhile, in the same four-year span, Robert Cardillo, who in 1983 began his career as a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) imagery analyst, served as the first deputy director for intelligence integration with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). In this role, he was responsible for leading the integration of the Intelligence Community. Additionally, he delivered the President’s Daily Brief—what he liked to refer to as “turning in the IC’s homework.” Cardillo aims to carry NGA’s core mission one step further—beyond contextual content, to conveying consequence. Trajectory Managing Editor Kristin Quinn had the opportunity to speak one-on-one with both Long and Cardillo shortly before NGA’s Oct. 4 change-of-director ceremony. Long reflected upon the evolution of the discipline and the agency, and Cardillo set the stage for an era of increased partnership and measured risk-taking. Both gave a strong nod to the changing GEOINT landscape and competitive marketplace, acknowledging the criticality of teaming with industry to drive innovation. For the unabridged interview with each, visit trajectorymagazine.com.

USGIF.ORG kk TRAJECTORY | 23 FORMER NGA DIRECTOR LETITIA LONG

How have you seen GEOINT evolve during your career? When I began my career 36 years ago, there was nothing called GEOINT. We had imagery exploitation, mapping, and cartographic services, but there was nothing quite integrated as we know GEOINT today. There was no enterprise across the national and allied systems for geospatial intelligence, and there was no real industry associated with GEOINT. So, in less than a decade, we went from not having anything called GEOINT to a whole community focused around it.

OCT. 2, 2014 PHOTO COURTESY COURTESY PHOTO Mapping #Ebola

The recent Ebola outbreak is being monitored, tracked, and mapped by numerous agencies and organizations across the globe. To name just a few, NGA has created an unclassified mapping tool on Esri’s ArcGIS platform and hosted by Amazon Web Services; the CDC is tracking cell phone location data for users dialing emergency call centers in West Africa; and HealthMap.org has developed an automated system that monitors, organizes, integrates, filters, and visualizes disparate online data sources to provide a comprehensive view of the current global state of infectious illness. Collectively, these efforts demonstrate the power of current data-mining capabilities and the importance of geography and location for comprehending, containing, and combating this disease.

As global awareness and fears about Ebola grow, social media channels such as Twitter can likewise be used to reveal the timeline of public reaction and discussion. Simon Rogers, a data editor at Twitter, created a heat map tracking mentions of Ebola over a one-and-a-half-month period. The two snapshots above compare the number of Ebola mentions on Sept. 2 with Oct. 2, visualizing the explosion of tweets that occurred after a Liberian man was diagnosed with the disease at a Dallas, Texas, hospital Sept. 30. Ebola-related tweets per minute for most of September averaged between 100 to 200. On Oct. 2, Ebola tweets hit a spike of 6,271 per minute.
