What are the trends in education, technology, policy, perception and markets that will mold the future of Geomatics – and how has the profession responded? The presenter has worked in and written about numerous aspects of surveying for several decades and views the future of the profession as one of both challenges and opportunity – new, exciting and sometimes surprising opportunities. This session will be interactive, challenge conventional wisdom, poke a little fun, and hopefully provides s...
Over the past three decades, global and national economies have undergone profound transition while the governments that have tried to steer worldwide growth have been buffeted by profound changes in how citizens interact and feel about the level of services they receive. That many of them are more empowered than ever by social media, which is often said to have hastened the growth of significant divides, speaks to the need of many governmental leader to stay in touch with prevailing th...
Addressing the escalating levels of methane in the Earth's atmosphere is among the most urgent issues humanity faces. Methane ranks as one of the most potent greenhouse gases (GHGs), trapping over 25 times more heat than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period; thus, significantly reducing methane emissions will make a substantial impact in the fight against climate change.One of the most impactful methods for mitigating methane emissions involves the prompt detection and repair of metha...
In the face of escalating environmental challenges, Canada grapples with the urgent need for advanced solutions in wildfire monitoring, emissions reduction, and natural resource management. This panel discussion explores how the burgeoning "New Space" frontier offers innovative approaches to address these critical issues.We aim to provide a platform for various industry players to share their own innovative technologies and insights, creating a vibrant dialogue on crucial geospatial...
In February 2022, Balko Technologies, a Quebec-based company, launched the world's first modular drone Lidar, which aims to democratize geospatial data capture by offering a versatile, easy-to-use and quick to deploy solution. This technological showcase aims to demonstrate the performance, modularity and distinctive advantages for users of our brand new Connectiv solution and its e-LAS software, developed by a team of experts with more than 10 years of experience in airborne data capture....
Flooding is Canada’s most costly natural disaster, and flood risk intensifies as a result of urbanization and climate change. These impacts will change over time and can jeopardize the overall sustainability of communities if they remain unaddressed. As socio-economic consequences worsen, it underlines the need for governments to provide current and accurate hazard information to vulnerable populations, including Indigenous communities who are disproportionately affected, to make decisions...
There is a pressing need for a global change detection system capable of persistently monitoring the entire earth with globally consistent coverage, temporally consistent sampling, scientific-grade geometric and radiometric quality, and cost-effective management of daily data. These four conditions enable near real-time monitoring and retrospective change detection applications while minimizing false positives and the required work to develop, maintain, and run harmonizing a...
Creating, managing and sharing geospatial information has never been easier, but how do we ensure the information we are using to make key business decisions is current, correct, accurate and the best fit for purpose? This session will explore the different types of geospatial information assets being used at The City and the different tools, methods and standards that are being used capture, manage and share authoritative City data across the organization and to the Citizens of Calgary.
Geomatics is growing technically and economically at a rapid pace. The need for skilled, knowledgeable workers is higher than ever. Some may argue that the technical advancements of the industry reduce the need for skilled workers and will remove the event of human errors. Others will argue that the very technology that is reducing human error can lead to increasing other errors and be a cause of delays on projects if the person operating the technology is not perceptive ...

openBIM aims to make the built environment more efficient, sustainable, and productive, leading to more liveable and resilient communities. Smarter infrastructure and buildings help to improve energy-efficiency, sustainable practice and future-proof standards to ensure a more equitable society.Open standards ensure that different products and systems can work together seamlessly, regardless of who developed them or what platform they run on. This generates comprehensive, trusted and...
Wetlands are important to water quality, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity, and have been identified as a management priority across Canada. Reclaiming wetlands that have been impacted can be a long-term, costly process depending on the type of wetland, location, and potential access constraints. One challenge with wetland reclamation is that the work may cause additional or new wetland impacts during access and execution of the work. Concurrent with wetland reclamation priorities, there ...
This panel will delve into some Geoff Zeiss's favorite topics:Example - Colorado DOT, PennDOT. Not an explicit requirement but required for permitting in their RoW’s – effectively a regulatory standard. Metrolink Regulation1: Business Case for SUE DataASCE – Not a regulatory requirement but a recommendation.Regulate on Backend – Permitting Process requirement for ASCE Benefits of Accurate Data2: Standards
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...
The Department of National Defence, as steward of a real property (RP) portfolio that includes tens of thousands of buildings and supporting infrastructure, is seeking to manage its Real Property (RP) assets more effectively by modernizing and improving its digital capability. In this effort, interoperability between BIM and GIS through open data standards is crucial to enable the Integrated Digital Built Environment. BIM allows representation of detailed information regarding building elemen...
