Geospatial Jobs #56: Oct 7, 2024
Welcome to the 56th issue of Geospatial Jobs, a career newsletter focusing on data science and geosciences (🌧climate-tech, 🌽ag-tech, 🌊risk modeling, ⚡️energy, 🛰remote sensing, ♻️sustainability, and more).
As previously mentioned, I’ve introduced paid subscriptions and I highly appreciate those who recognize the value of this effort and choose to support it. I’m still figuring out how to navigate this transition to have an extra incentive for paid subscribers while still being useful to the community. I’m thinking of maybe removing the paywall after a few weeks of sharing each issue so that everyone can learn about companies and job requirements.
I’m also hoping that geospatial businesses consider becoming a sponsor of this newsletter and get a decent outreach. For those interested, here are some useful stats to consider (as of Oct 4, 2024):
🕵️💵 Recent Fundraisings / Updates:
Nothing relevant since last week.
💡📚 Useful Resources:
Check out the first issue of GeoAI Unpacked with a deep dive into EO foundation models.
IBM is previewing Environmental Intelligence, new software that enables geospatial developers to integrate environmental datasets and generate insights using fine-tuned models. It's cloud-based and features a range of geospatial, weather, and climate APIs (see the full catalogue here).
The next cohort of Breakthrough Energy Fellows are open for early-stage climate-tech innovations to accelerate toward commercialization.
