At a time of rising climate change impacts, there is a vital and growing need to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters. But there is a critical communication gap between authorities and citizens. Drawing on the results of our massive multi-year climate change R&D project, and with assistance from hundreds of students, citizens, academics, NGOs, and government officials, we have identified the top perceived climate change-relatedcommunication problem...

Applying SafeGraph’s Canadian POI data for community-level analysis in ArcGIS and TableauGeospatial data empowers research bodies, government agencies, and the private sector to visualize and analyze complex problems in new and innovative ways. But location data is only valuable if it is accurate - something many GIS and data analysts know all too well. Armed with accurate, precisely geocoded POI data that includes key attribution related to brands and business types, analys...

For nearly 50 years, geomatics representatives from Canadian provinces and territories have collaborated together and with the federal government on geomatics initiatives. This presentation will explore why such a council came to be and why its work matters to the Canadian geomatics sector and citizens alike. While the geomatics sector and the world we live in continue to change, the need for coordination across jurisdictions remains crucial to support decision-making and response to share...

In this presentation by Avenza Systems, we will be showcasing how high quality cartographic outputs after your data analysis can actually be achieved! We will demonstrate how to develop and design a map from raw statistical census data in Adobe Illustrator by leveraging the geospatial functionalities of MAPublisher - the industry-standard cartography solution for high quality graphical output. We’ll show how GIS data can be imported, managed, and transformed on-the-fly all d...

In 2003, when GISPartner entered the business Poland was still far behind more developed countries in terms of IT implementation. In 2021 the gap is incomparably smaller and some of Polish IT solutions are widely used across the globe. When public administration is considered, it was also GISPartner, which greatly contributed into transforming paper & stamps into high-class software solutions. We want to share our thoughts on how clever, tailor-made IT solutions are driving this transf...
