STEM Career: Geospatial Intelligence Analyst

Geospatial intelligence analysts, often members of the U.S. Air Force, combine technology information and analysis in their work. They monitor and analyze images sent via satellites or remotely piloted vehicles. They look for anything out of the ordinary, potential signs of danger, or changes in images over time that should be investigated. Their work may aid in military operations, urban planning, or environmental analysis.

Tools of the Trade

Specialty cameras, computers, global information systems

Education Required

A bachelor’s degree in geography, computer science or information technology
