Geospatial Jobs #43: Feb 19, 2024
Welcome to the 43rd issue of Geospatial Jobs, a career newsletter focusing on data science and geosciences (🌧climatetech, 🌽agtech, 🌊risk modeling, ⚡️energy, 🛰remote sensing, ♻️sustainability, and more).
🙏 Special thanks to the 40 people who signed up (on the previous issue) to volunteer and help me. It’s so amazing and heartwarming to see people volunteering from 15 different countries (across 5 continents!). I haven’t yet had time to contact anyone, but that’s on my to do list. Thanks for your patience!
