Abstract

Many public benefit organizations and researchers are using Google Earth and Maps to put their data in a three-dimensional spatial context, using tools that are available to the general public. Researchers are also using Google Earth for in-the-field operations. As a result, they have helped inform the public about their scientific data and impacted public policy. We'll take you on a tour of some examples, and you can learn more about what you can do with Google's mapping tools from Google Earth Outreach.
