David Thompson’s Map of the North West Territory was the culmination of a dangerous life devoted to exploration, surveying and cartography. Today, maps are updated every second. But the future is unevenly distributed. As the techno-literatai experience realtime cartographies, some people are still entirely unmapped. This talk is a look at the state of the cartographic art from the purview of a modern geospatial company.

The Natural Resources & Environmental Studies Institute (NRESi) at UNBC hosts a weekly lecture series at the Prince George campus.
