Victoria Desjardins
Victoria is a new Instructor in the Geomatics Engineering Technology program at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. Prior to teaching, she worked as a Geospatial Analyst for an aerial LiDAR acquisition company, working with LiDAR data from calibration to delivery. Victoria is passionate about education and learning - holding a BSc with Combined Honours in Earth Science and Environment, Sustainability, and Society; a certificate in Environmental Geoscience, and a diploma in Geomatics Engineering Technology - and volunteering in the past with a local outreach group, providing Geoscience education to community members of all ages. As an artist who creates works inspired by the geospatial realm, social justice and mental health advocacy, Victoria seeks to find creative approaches to inspire, educate, and problem solve. She finds inspiration and perspective through raising a toddler, including the value of play in learning and the importance of having strong foundations, and is interested in exploring and developing a connection between early learning and the field of Geomatics.

Rapid, short-range data collection will only become more critical as the technological revolution continues. From planning and analytics to VDC and BIM, to Safety, Security, Project, and Facilities management, the applications for reality capture technology is only going to increase as industry calls for cost savings, awareness, accountability, and efficiency. In this climate, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) platforms are emerging as the solution that can meet the needs of ind...
Geoff Zeiss devoted over 30 years of his life to the Geospatial industry and global community, focusing on utility and construction sectors, and mapping underground utility infrastructure among many other projects. Sadly, Geoff passed away in September of 2022. The Geoff Zeiss Urban Infrastructure Mapping Fund was established to build on decades of innovation by Dr. Zeiss in developing effective and sustainable urban infrastructure through research and development supporting urban infor...
Research Presentation:Airborne Topo-Bathymetric Lidar Combined with Thermal Imaging for Fish Habitat Studies in RiversResearchers at Nova Scotia Community College’s Applied Geomatics Research Group have been using the airborne Leica Chiroptera 4X topo-bathymetric lidar sensor for nearly a decade and have surveyed coastal, riverine and lake environments. They have concentrated on mapping submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). Topo-bathy lidar data of rivers provides an opportu...
