Satellite images are of increasing importance in a great many domains and have dramatically changed the way we watch over the Earth and the physical phenomena, natural and man-induced, affecting it. Satellite images have also given rise to a number of new professions (Geographic Information System analyst, geospatial specialist) as well as to new areas of specialisation within more conventional type of work, such as law and medicine.

The people interviewed are young professionals from all over Europe, Canada and Japan, belonging to both private and public organisations. We would like to thank them all, as well as their companies and institutions, for their enthusiastic participation in this project.
