The Canadian Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (NRCan) continues its work to implement the National Elevation Data Strategy. Through this strategy, one of NRCan's goal is to provide Canadians with an accurate three-dimensional representation of the country, in support of government priorities such as flood mapping. Because of the enormous task of obtaining a high-precision and up-to-date national elevation layer, NRCan works with different entities.The data coverage of the st...

À l'automne 2020, NV5 Geospatial, propulsé par Quantum Spatial, a été mandaté par la Communauté Métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) pour réaliser l'un des plus grands levés lidar topobathymétriques aériens fluviaux jamais entrepris au Canada. Cette présentation examinera de plus près le contexte, les objectifs, les défis, la technologie, la méthodologie, ainsi que les résultats et conclusions préliminaires de cette importante étude aérienne des vingt-huit principaux cours d'eau entourant la v...

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...

The Canadian Geodetic Survey (CGS) of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is responsible for defining, maintaining, and providing access to the Canadian Spatial Reference System (CSRS). The CSRS provides a consistent reference for surveying, mapping, and other applications which require accurate positioning. This presentation will describe the CGS products, tools and services which are currently available and provide access to the Canadian Spatial Reference System (CSRS). It will also take a ...

With rapid advances in Earth observation, cloud computing, and analytics technologies, more information on our changing world is more readily available than ever before.
