Allan Falconer has worked with the application of geospatial technology to natural resources management and mapping since the ERTS-1 (Landsat) simulation studies of 1970. He has been employed by governments, businesses and universities around the world to work in environments ranging from deserts (Kalahari, Mojave, Sahara and South Australian) to oceans (Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific). From 1978-1989 he was a member of the project team establishing the Regional Remote Sensing Facility for East and Southern Africa where he advised on natural resources applications of remote sensing in that region. He has designed and directed geospatial projects for US Federal Agencies (DoD, Department of Interior, USDA, USAID, NASA) and been a consultant to UN/FAO, UNECA, UNESCO, UNEP, UN-COPUOS and World Bank in many aspects of natural resources mapping and management. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society and the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
