Crowdsourcing, citizen science, public participatory GIS (PPGIS), neogeography: the participation of individuals in adding to the collective geospatial knowledge has come a long way since 2007 when UC Barbara geography professor Michael F. Goodchild coined the term “Volunteered Geography.” Also known as Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), Goodchild’s seminal paper described the practice of individuals, commonly non-experts, voluntarily collecting and sharing geographic data

Researchers are using remotely sensed data and satellite imagery to map glacier loss in Western Canada. Scientists use satellite images, like those produced by the long-running Landsat Earth observation satellites, to compare the size and extent of glaciers over time. By examining images from different years, they can track changes in glacier size, shape, and movement.
