Canadian Hydrographic Conference 2024
2024-05-27 - 2024-05-30 | St. John’s Convention Centre, 50 New Gower Street, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, A1C 1J3, Canada
The CHA has a long-standing partnership with The Hydrographic Society of America, and the two organizations take turns hosting this annual international conference series. This year it is Canada’s turn, and we are excited to build upon the great success of US Hydro 2023 by organizing CHC2024 to be held in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.
We have chosen “Unveiling our Blue Planet” as the theme of CHC2024. With important international initiatives underway, including the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and the Nippon Foundation/GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project, the requirement to better understand the ‘blue’ part of our planet is gaining much-needed attention. And while many advances continue to be made in the hydrographic discipline, much remains to be accomplished, as the richness and applications of hydrographic data expand and the artificial boundaries between hydrography and other important disciplines fades.
Under our major theme, we are highlighting five key factors that will steer and facilitate our work to advance hydrography:
– Understanding Climate Change
– The Blue Economy
– Partnering and Collaboration
– Technological Advances
– Education and Careers

Kelowna GoGeomatics Networking Social
2024-05-28 17:30 - 20:30 (America/Vancouver) | Kelowna Downtown Library ORL Branch, 1380 Ellis St, Kelowna, Canada
We will begin with a presentation in Meeting Room 3 of the library by Rachel Plewes on the project she did for her master’s thesis.
Here’s a summary:
Landscape Based Approach to Lake Management in Ontario’s Cottage Country (Muskoka)
The Muskoka lakes are an important part of Ontario’s cottage country. The lakes of the Muskoka River Watershed have experienced large water quality changes from natural and human-induced stressors. These stressors include acidification, climate change, invasive species, and shoreline development. In 2012, cumulative-effects approaches to lake management evolved using geospatial technologies. The presentation will discuss a landscape-based approach to lake monitoring in the Muskoka River Watershed. GIS is applied to better understand how stressors, aquatic connectivity, and scale influence water quality.
From here, we will go to BNA Brewing, 1250 Ellis St., for a 6:45 reservation.
GoGeomatics is a networking event to welcome students, professionals, and academics in the field of geomatics in a casual environment.
