The Geo for Good summit brought together change makers, not-for-profits and scientists to share and collaborate on initiatives to create a sustainable planet. In this episode of Location Matters we're joined by two attendees from this years' summit, Nathan Eaton, Executive Director at NGIS Australia and Sam Atkinson, Manager at EO Data Science. We'll be covering the stand out initiatives, what they both learnt and the exciting new announcement made by the Google Earth Outreach team.
