As mentioned above, much work on fire mapping has been done via NASA at the University of Maryland (http://modis-fire.umd.edu/index.html; http://maps.geog.umd.edu/firms/). They've been doing satellite based fire monitoring work for at least twenty y…
I am absolutely sure this is possible and am happy to help make it happen as much as I can. GISCorps already does mentoring and training in the US, especially for kids, and college students often volunteer to gain experience. So, your idea seems lik…
Hi Lars, the GISCorps is a very interesting group. I mostly work in Africa and at anyone time we have 3-5 GIS and data analyst volunteer interns in our office in Nairobi. It would great to link a group like GISCorps to the 1,000s of young GIS, stati…

The concept of the "RusselSat" was briefly discussed in Cleveland. I had looked into the issue of my own satellite a couple years ago, though it was of course dubbed LarsSat, and found the costs were very significant. I wrote the below memo on the topic and had one of my staff update it for this group to give you an idea of what is involved. Note that this assumes we are looking for a satellite with one meter resolution or better. We find this quality to be best for human rights purposes, and th… Continue
