SUMMARY:Guest Talk: Caribou Habitate Disturbance Mapping with PostgreSQL & QGIS
DESCRIPTION:• What we’ll doGeoff Andrews of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) will speak about his current project regarding Caribou Habitat Disturbance. \nProject Description:“As part of an Open-Source Initiative within the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry\, this project seeks to replace processes developed through ArcGIS model builder and python (ArcPy) script tools with more stable PL-SQL functionality within the PostgreSQL/PostGIS environment. The goal of this work is to produce a tool that can process large datasets and produce provincial output data for uptake into scientific modeling for Ontario’s northern research and habitat mapping. “ \nGeoff works with the Provincial Geomatics Service Centre at the MNRF. In the two years he has worked with a variety of software as a part of his role. He worked previously for Trent University’s Maps\, Data\, and Government Information centre for a year long contract before begining contract work with the MNRF. He is a graduate of Fleming College (2015) as a GIS Application Specialist. \n• What to bringSmiling faces as always\, along with any questions you might have regarding this project. If time permits we will also discuss any GIS related problems we are trying to solve and come together as a meeting of the minds to solve the. • Important to know

SUMMARY:March Social - with guest Dr George Bevan!
DESCRIPTION:George Bevan currently teaches in the Dept. of Geography and Planning at Queen’s. He has worked extensively in Jordan\, Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia in recent years to implement new workflows for mapping cultural-heritage assets. He will be discussing a project funded by the USAID’s Sustainable Cultural Heritage Through Engagement of Local Communities Project (SCHEP) that builds local capacity in Wadi Rum\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Jordan. The project trains locals to use mobile GIS data collection workflows — ESRI Collector and Survey 123 –to record the stability of rock-art panels using the Rock Art Stability Index (RASI)\, an innovative scoring system that accounts for both human and natural factors in rock-art decay\, and is expressly designed for use by non-specialists. George will share some of his experiences implementing multi-lingual (English and Arabic) GIS workflows in this remote area. \nThe Kingston GoGeomatics Group meets every month to talk about GIS\, remote sensing surveying\, technology\, education\, training\, jobs\, and much much more!

SUMMARY:OpenStreetMap: Traces of the Past exploring the Maps and History of Vimy Ridge
DESCRIPTION:GoGeomatics is proud to present one of our own to give a talk at the March GoGeomatics social. Bert de Brujin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/bertdebruijn/) is one of Canada’s most innovative and dedicated entrepreneurs. His passion for military history\, education\, and open source software have driven him to create WikiWar. \nWikiWar (http://wikiwar.net/) is a project to structure and geovisualize the entirety of human military history using OpenStreetMap. Today\, OpenStreetMap contributors follow some simple mapping rules when adding to the modern map\, including what is called the “ground rule”: map the world as it can be observed by someone physically there. But what if you aren’t interested in the world as it exists today? What if you want to see the world digitally as it was observed a long time ago? \nFollow along as members of the Muninn and WikiWar projects use the OpenStreetMap toolset to create a historically-accurate digital map of the Vimy Ridge area in time for the 101st anniversary of the famous WWI battle of the same name.

SUMMARY:February Meetup (in March) - Professors Take the Stage!
DESCRIPTION:We will be having Dr. Paul Treitz from Queen’s University Department of Geography and Planning speaking Arctic applications for remote sensing. Arctic ecosystems account for a large proportion of Canada’s land surface and are important systems within the context of global climate change and environmental change research. These northern environments are thought to be particularly sensitive to changes in climate\, yet it remains unclear as to how tundra ecosystems will respond. For instance\, it is estimated that temperatures have increased on average by 3-4 degrees in the Canadian Arctic over the past half century and will continue to exceed global mean warming. As a result\, changes in Arctic tundra ecosystem patterns and processes will be expressed through permafrost degradation\, shifts in vegetation phenology and species composition and abundance. In addition to the obvious impacts of increasing air and soil temperatures\, there are a number of factors that serve as controls on vegetation growth in the Canadian Arctic\, including soil moisture\, nutrient availability\, soil type and topography/micro-topography. \nOur research in the Canadian High Arctic examines the potential for high spatial resolution remote sensing data (optical and synthetic aperture radar) to quantify biogeophysical variables that control carbon fluxes at landscape (i.e. watershed) scales. To examine these patterns and processes\, in situ studies are conducted in order to calibrate and validate remote sensing models at high spatial resolution. Variables of significance for productivity modeling and estimating net ecosystem exchange include above-ground phytomass\, percent vegetation cover\, fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation and soil/surface moisture and permafrost degradation. These are critical environmental\, structural and physiological variables linked to many ecosystem processes (e.g.\, phytomass information plays a significant role in assessing carbon stocks\, is an important element in global change and productivity models\, and is a measure of vegetation community structure which influences biodiversity). In this presentation\, I will present the results of our remote sensing research at study sites on Melville Island and Boothia Peninsula\, Nunavut. \nThe Kingston GoGeomatics Group meets every month to talk about GIS\, remote sensing surveying\, technology\, education\, training\, jobs\, and much much more! We welcome everyone in all areas of geomatics and look forward to seeing you there! \nPlease RSVP to let us know you’re attending. \nGoGeomatics Canada Sites and Social Media:Web: www.gogeomatics.ca (http://www.gogeomatics.ca/)Twitter: @GoGeomatics (https://twitter.com/gogeomatics)Linkedin Group: http://goo.gl/xD550Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoGeomaticsCanada

SUMMARY:GoGeomatics Calgary February Social w/ Global Raymac Speaker
DESCRIPTION:Doug West started his surveying career after a serious helicopter crash that ended his Remote Heli-Paramedic career in 2003. He worked his way through oil & gas\, then large P3 projects as a structural and civil surveyor\, and eventually started a geomatics group at an engineering firm here in Calgary. Over the past six years\, Doug has developed specialized technologies in 360 mapping and shallow water bathymetry/hydrography. He has also worked with sensor and boat manufacturers to develop specialized shallow water systems. \nWith Doug’s experience in developing specialised technologies\, he will be discussing the application of technology such as scanning to develop digital twin models\, UAV augmentation and applications\, and autonomous surface vehicle sonar applications. Each will be discussed in brief with project application examples and lessons learned.
