Join us for the the launch of GeoIgnite with Jonathan Murphy, the Chair of GeoIgnite, and Dr. Minda Suchan of MDA.Abstract of MDA Keynote: Canada is the world leader in wide area space-based radar Earth observation through the highly successful RADARSAT program, supporting numerous operational and scientific uses for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. MDA, in conjunction with the Canadian government, has created an internationally recognized brand and reputation for...
The Canadian Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (NRCan) continues its work to implement the National Elevation Data Strategy. Through this strategy, one of NRCan's goal is to provide Canadians with an accurate three-dimensional representation of the country, in support of government priorities such as flood mapping. Because of the enormous task of obtaining a high-precision and up-to-date national elevation layer, NRCan works with different entities.The data coverage of the st...
Over the past year, Minerva Intelligence, a Vancouver-based cognitive AI company, has been awarded two contracts with Natural Resources Canada to design schemas at a national level: the National Flood Hazard Data Layer (NFHDL) and the National Hydro Network V2 (NHNv2). You might be asking yourself why an AI company is designing and building these important database structures. Minerva's cognitive AI system makes use of semantically inoperable data in knowledge graphs and has designed syste...

Abstract forth coming: Oversight for CSA program sectors, including in Space Utilization, Space Exploration, and Space Science and Technology.
In this presentation, Dr. Walter Scott will compare the satellite imaging constellations of Maxar and other commercial companies to show how they stack up in three key metrics: product-market fit, adaptability and capital efficiency. He will also share some key insights on the next generation of Earth Intelligence arriving in 2021 with the launch of WorldView Legion, and what impact that will have for the Canadian geospatial market in the months and years ahead.

Join Jonathan Murphy, Nicholas Kellett and John Roos as they kick off the start of Winter Geo:GeoIgnite 2022.
"GHG Monitoring from Space: A mapping of capabilities across public, private and hybrid missions" was a collaborative effort undertaken by the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), WattTime, and the World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC).This report, presented at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Earth Information Day at the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 26), was the first syst...
In Budget 2021, the government tabled a recovery plan for jobs, growth, and resilience. Within the budget were specific investments to promoting a healthy environment for a healthy economy, with $145.5 million dedicated to supporting initiatives that will increase resiliency to the natural hazards of wildfires and floods, which are becoming more frequent, severe, and devastating due to climate change and urban development. Flood hazard maps are essential to un...
NV5 Geospatial has been at the forefront of hydrospatial data acquisition and processing for decades. This presentation will provide a brief corporate introduction and overview of some of the technologies relevant to remotely sensed hydrospatial data collection and development. This will also include associated analyses and ancillary data integration to solve questions surrounding hydrology and wetland mapping, flood risk modeling, and habitat...

At a time of rising climate change impacts, there is a vital and growing need to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters. But there is a critical communication gap between authorities and citizens.Drawing on the ongoing results of our massive multi-year climate change research and development project, and with assistance from hundreds of students, citizens, academics, NGOs, government officials, and industry p...
Dr. Marshall and Keith Masback will explore climate change and what happens at the intersection of climate and the Earth’s surface.
Maritime regions are vast, vessels of interest operate dark, and the agencies responsible for maritime enforcement need to deploy scant resources efficiently to make the greatest mission impact. Maxar has developed the Crow’s Nest Maritime Monitoring and Security (MMS) product to address this need. The product leverages space-based optical and radar imagery, AIS, advanced ma...
Statistics Canada along with their partner, VertiGIS Studio (formerly Geocortex), have collaborated to update the original Census Program Data Viewer (CPDV) https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/dp-pd/dv-vd/cpdv-vdpr/index-eng.cfm. VertiGIS Studio Web and Reporting were used to configure an advanced web-based data visualization tool, that supports the dissemination of statistical data gathered in the 2021 Canadian census. This tool will make statistical information more...

Join Jonathan Murphy as they kick off the start of Day 3 Winter Geo:GeoIgnite 2022 and announce our award recipients.
The increase in the availability of high-resolution lidar and other point cloud datasets has given rise to the use of this data for detecting change in the environment over time. Continual improvements in airborne technology and the miniaturization of the requisite sensors has cultivated a nimble new branch of the industry that provides cost-effective data collection services virtually on demand. This ability to employ temporal analysis of the geospatial landsca...
Climate change affects everybody. Solutions will be successful when everyone can get involved. An examination of the Diversity of viewpoints, needs, wants, and must haves is vital when approaching this topic. This panel will discuss and engage each other as well at the audience.
