The new Canadian Hydrospatial Network (CHN) is set to replace the National Hydrographic Network (NHN) for Canada. Designed for improved use in hydrological models, the CHN is analysis ready with full-network traversing ability, and value-added attributes such as stream order. The CHN is also created from higher-resolution source data and better aligned to elevation than the NHN, where possible, and has been streamlined for production and maintenance.Work is on-going to refine methods a...

Algal blooms, typically consisting of cyanobacteria which can produce harmful toxins, are a recurring problem on lakes around the world.  Although Alberta has long-term sampling programs on selected lakes, monitoring is limited in time and space. Satellite remote sensing offers a way to monitor cyanobacteria blooms across the entire ice-free season and track spatial patterns of bloom development, dynamics, and spread across lakes. The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI), Alb...

Despite the rhetoric surrounding the use of building information modelling (BIM) to enhance collaboration by connecting people and data, the status quo is to work with proprietary solutions and closed file formats, limiting accessibility and interoperability. Additionally, the increasing complexity of projects in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry requires technology that integrates data at a range of scales, from asset to city, and beyond. To address ...

With drones like the DJI Matrice 300 now being positioned using RTK GNSS, combined with Structure from Motion (SfM), high precision mosaics are possible without deploying targets. The ability to mount lidars (DJI L1 and L2) and other optical sensors (RGB, multispectral, thermal) allows for precise surveying and the production of high resolution and high accuracy mosaics with minimal ground control. While battery power still remains an issue and the limiting factor for flight duration (10’s of...
