Digital earth (Google Earth). Models. Socializing the Pixel. Participatory mapping.Abstract
This paper has two parts. The first describes a series of GeoTechnologies applied in different geographical and environmental work for different territorial areas in Spain and northwest Africa. The guiding thread is the author’s personal experience as an example additional to the fields of study and the growing importance of GeoTechnologies in geography. A second part is a theoretical reflection on these changes focusing on the importance, evolution and the constraints that digital earth imply (Google Earth...). The first part was exposed in the corresponding panel of Cieta VI, while the latter correspond to the thoughts and ideas prepared for further discussion.
