Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Sharon K.Y. Lee did her Bachelor of Science Honours in Geology at the University of Ottawa, She then completed a joint graduate program with the Centre of Geographic Sciences and Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, where she obtained an advanced diploma in Remote Sensing and a Master of Science in Earth Sciences, respectively.
Sharon has gained valuable work experience over the years in database management and applying geomatics to various fields of geology in academia, government and the mining industry in Ontario, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Manitoba. In late 2019, she returned to her hometown to work as a geoscientist in the Infrastructure, Water Services Department at the City of Ottawa, where she is the program lead of the Geoscience Information Platform program.

The City of Ottawa (City) annually invests about $3M in studies of the local subsurface geotechnical, hydrogeological, and environmental conditions in support of municipal planning, development proposals, infrastructure designs, construction, and environmental protection studies. Much of this valuable information remains with individual consulting firms and in City project files, so this data is relatively inaccessible and not ready for use to internal and external stakeholders.

Marie’s GIS digital twin model, which offers real-time insights allowing for collaboration and more effective decision making, this presentation showcases the transformative potential of GIS enabled digital twins. We will demonstrate how this comprehensive digital r...
Monitoring large numbers of activities and assets from space has long been an aspirational “holy grail” for satellite remote sensing. However, lack of observational cadence, collection capacity, sufficient resolution, multisource capabilities and contextual understanding of monitored sites has meant that true monitoring has been limited to a handful of key facilities and mission use cases. Will we as an industry be able to overcome current challenges and turn site monitoring into a mainstream...
