The landscapes in the Northwest Territories (NWT, Canada) are amongst the most rapidly changing in the world due to climate-induced permafrost thaw. This presentation provides an overview of recent remote sensing and mapping investigations of permafrost thaw landslides across different spatial and temporal scales in the NWT. A common thread of ever-expanding geospatial capabilities (remote sensing, machine learning) is juxtaposed against rapidly intensifying permafrost thaw with many growi...

Maritime regions are vast, vessels of interest operate dark, and the agencies responsible for maritime enforcement need to deploy scant resources efficiently to make the greatest mission impact.  Maxar has developed the Crow’s Nest Maritime Monitoring and Security (MMS) product to address this need.   The product leverages space-based optical and radar imagery, AIS, advanced ma...

The increase in the availability of high-resolution lidar and other point cloud datasets has given rise to the use of this data for detecting change in the environment over time. Continual improvements in airborne technology and the miniaturization of the requisite sensors has cultivated a nimble new branch of the industry that provides cost-effective data collection services virtually on demand. This ability to employ temporal analysis of the geospatial landsca...
