GIS can help facilitate policy decisions (for example, housing densification) using the knowledge and power that it contains. Speakers will dive into real-world examples of how they are using GIS to help their governments build policy and make decisions.
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. At this conference, we’ll delve into the realm of GIS applications focused on climate resilience and adaptation. Witness how GIS technologies empower decision-makers to monitor and manage the impacts of climate change, fostering adaptive strategies for a sustainable future.
As GIS technologies advance, so do the ethical considerations. Participate in conversations about privacy, data ownership, and the responsible use of geospatial information. Be part of the dialogue on ensuring that GIS is a force for good, with ethical principles guiding every step.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to connect with GIS experts, thought leaders, and fellow enthusiasts.

Webinar: Efficient Geospatial Data Access with NASA's AppEEARS
2024-04-24 02:00 - 03:30 (America/Toronto) | Virtual
ASA’s Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS) is a powerful web application and application programming interface (API) that provides intuitive access to more than 100 geospatial datasets from multiple federal agencies, including datasets at several NASA Distributed Active Archives Centers (DAACs). This webinar showcases AppEEARS and its capabilities and highlights AppEEARS resources to help simplify data access workflows using the system.
Through AppEEARS, users can precisely extract data for point locations or areas of interest for specified variables and time ranges, resulting in streamlined access to needed data and a significant reduction in download volumes. AppEEARS also brings efficiency to scientific workflows through its ability to reformat and reproject outputs. The web application offers built-in exploratory data visualizations for users to gain insights into the data prior to downloading, while the AppEEARS API provides programmatic use of AppEEARS functionality for users who prefer working from a programming environment. AppEEARS outputs are staged in NASA’s Earthdata Cloud and are available for download and direct access from AWS US-West-2.

Technological developments in recent years are nothing short of remarkable. Geospatial disciplines are evolving along with many of the technological changes that present growth opportunities for individuals and businesses. Some of the developments, such as Artificial Intelligence and Digital Twins represent a quantum leap forward in the way we access, interact and use information.
To stay relevant in the field, geospatial and information professionals should “BePrepared”.
They should be aware of how these technological developments and trends can be applied to their work, continually learn new skills and adapt to the ever-changing work environment.
Geospatial plays a crucial role in many industries and is also impacted by technological breakthroughs that are affecting designing and creating business solutions. Some of the skills the geospatial industry requires are:

Creative systems thinking
Analytical skills
Big Data, Digital Twins and Artificial Intelligence
Understanding of ethical and privacy concerns
Service orientation and customer service
