This course serves to introduce students to the increasingly important role of overhead reconnaissance and imagery analysis in world affairs, and a basis for a greater appreciation of the potential role of the new, freely available, geospatial tools for nonproliferation applications. We will explore how, together with commercial satellite imagery, these tools can be used to promote “all-source synergy.” Foremost among the geospatial tools are the “Digital Virtual Globes” (i.e., GoogleEarth, Nokia Maps 3D, SkylineGlobe, etc.) that can provide the basis for 3-D visualization of nuclear fuel cycle relevant facilities and infrastructures. As additional “open sources,” these new geospatial tools have heralded a new era of “global transparency.” They can be used to substantially augment existing information gathering techniques, procedures, and analyses involving the remote detection of undeclared facilities, as well as support ongoing monitoring and verification of various international treaty (e.g., NPT, FMCT) relevant activities and programs. Additional information can be derived from “Crowdsourcing” in the form of labels, figures, and ground photos, as provided by a “free” cadre of global browsers and/or by knowledgeable locals, hobbyists, and tourists of the surrounding locales useful in identifications, through BLOGS and WIKI virtual globe "layers" (e.g., Wikimapia and Panoramio).
