Geography & Google Earth

[RedpiggyTheFool]

I am trying to get into the geography bee and i clicked on the link from national geographic and this video really helped. Thumbs up if you use geography every day!

[thantawa]

Thanks!

[VandaFonu]

Google Earth is really powerful.

[mytedma]

Thank you Google!

[okden13]

seems to me they're only focusing on geography as a means of location, hopefully this is the first of many such ads as geo is so much more than simply sense of place.

[Adilshit]

Please Update the whole Indonesia maps and land maps, because its so annoying that i cannot see my home.

[discjockeydado]

I swear I thought it was a man speaking at the beginning.

[skribblestyle]

Is it meant to be funny? Because it's pretty damn funny.

[froggiemolly]

@skribblestyle I don't think it's meant to be, but I was laughing through the whole thing. :)

I just was thinking... why these scientifics is talking about geography when any of them are geographers? Come on National Geographic, get a real geographer for talk about geography.

[geovision]

@jmangeo They don't need to be geographers...they are simply pointing out the benefits of using Google Earth as a geography tool. Anyway, Dr. Earle is a renown oceanographer with knowledge of geography of course. Oceanography is broad and correlates with geology and geography. This is a good video.

[jmangeo]

@geovision Sure, it's a good video, but geography is not only a collage of geology, oceanography and more. Geography is science with a special point of view: the spatial analysis, the geographical distribution of matters. This special point of view is rarely knew, specially in human geography, so I think National Geographic dont mind about this modern geography. But maybe it isnt its fault, maybe geographers are quite unsociable, and of course this is a basic documental.

[geovision]

@jmangeo NG has excellent geographers! They relies on advertisement, therefore they aim 4 the most attractive spects of geography to the masses. Yet, a lot of people start studying geography watching NG because they C what's interesting + useful in the real world. Don't take it personal...geography is now more popular than ever B4 with technology and globalization. NG is mostly about exploration + biogeography. IMHO, people interested in Sauer, Ritter, Relph + Yi-Fu Tuan shouldn't B watching NG.

[jmangeo]

@geovision Well, that's pretty amazing, that geographers make things "useful in the real world", no words about it. But in other hand, some geographers (like me) dream about a world where phisical and human geography go together towards a unique science, diferent of others. Maybe political ecology, with authors like Piers Blaikie can give you an idea about that I talked (because my english is no good and the matter is complex). PE: I like biogeography and geomatic too.

[macbeasty]

Like GMail Motion, this is another fake video by Google.

These actors arent even believable.

That "Ocena Explorer" from National Geographic is so fake. Come on.

[cristovao4]

@xxxxxxxxxxvxxxxxxxxx Sylvia Alice Earle (born August 30, 1935 in Gibbstown, New Jersey) is an American oceanographer. She was chief scientist for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from 1990–1992. She is a National Geographic explorer-in-residence, sometimes called "Her Deepness" or "The Sturgeon General".[1] Wikipedia YOU FAILED
