In recognition of the increasing costs and risk due to flooding, the Government of Canada is investing in flood mapping as part of the Government’s commitment to build safer and more resilient communities. Flood maps are critical for the public to understand their flood risks, and the availability of up to date flood hazard maps are key to strengthening the resilience of Canadian communities to overland flooding. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been working in collaboration to advance...
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 inf...

Our planet is in flux: pandemics, climate change, inequality. This talk will explore the ideas of "planetary-scale" as it pertains to the geospatial community’s work. We will be looking at how we need planetary-scale thinking to address the planetary-scale problems we are now being challenged with. We don’t have a “Planet B", so how can geospatial technology be used to ethically approach some of the most pressing issues our species have collectively faced? &...
