Rescue workers compared before and after Satellite imagery in Google Earth to better locate where people were stranded. In August of that year, Hurricane Katrina showed us how useful mapping tools like Earth could be for crisis response efforts. Vint Cerf saw my work, which eventually led to a job on the Google Earth Outreach team, turning my passion for telling stories with maps into a career.Ģ005 was the beginning of Google Earth’s evolution, as well. Beyond the freedom to fly anywhere in the world, I was captivated by the ability to paint and visualize geographic data on this incredible global canvas.ĭrawn to datasets backed by real human stories, I started making my own maps with KML a few weeks after Earth’s release in 2005. For my master’s degree, I used Google Earth to build a virtual representation of a high-tech biological research reserve.
When Google Earth was first introduced 10 years ago, it immediately stole my heart.
