June McAlarey - President & CEO - PCI Geomatics - Talk: Making earth observation intelligence available to the decision makers that drive our future

Abstract

A fundamental shift in the geospatial industry has occurred over recent years. Modern remote sensing technology has been developed at PCI Geomatics and in Canada through advanced research through partnerships with private industry, academia, and government researchers. Ubiquitous access to openly accessible earth observation data, cloud computing infrastructures and international collaboration have created opportunities to increase downstream access to information derived through remote sensing technology. PCI Geomatics has been at the forefront of these technological developments in Canada and throughout the world. Improving end user access to downstream information products provides many opportunities to increase and grow the industry.
