ESRI has always invested heavily into GIS education. That has included both the toolset as well as the study of geographic information as a science. The results have been impressive, not only in terms of financial growth for the company but the numerous research efforts, education events, books published and conference-workshops. Building GIS capacity and community is truly an ESRI goal. Dr. Michael Gould has recently been hired as Director of Education, Industry Solutions for ESRI. Vector1 Media editor Jeff Thurston interviews him on a number of GIS education related topics.

Photogrammetry continues to evolve and today the study of photogrammetry remains important.
