North joined AIT (Asian Institute of Technology) in 1983 as Dean. He led the institute in remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) work and took the lead in joining the RS Training Center in Asia, a short-term professional founded by USAID in Thailand in 1982 to provide RS and GIS in Asia Training until degree course in natural resources and management disciplines (since 1987). These subjects are now taught by the Department of Space Technology Applications and Research at the Faculty of Environment, Resources and Development. In an interview with North Professor of Asia Pacific GIS Magazine in June 1996, Professor North talked about his views on the following aspects: (1) the current status of GIS industry in Asia; (2) the major obstacles to the realization of GIS in Asia; and (3) Optimistic estimation of GIS and RS technology applications; (4) Role of AIT in the development of GIS industry in Asia
