SUMMARY:Canadian Space Agency’s Webinar: Use of Artificial Intelligence for Earth Observation
DESCRIPTION:The Canadian Earth observation community and people curious about space-based remote sensing are invited to join the upcoming Canadian Space Agency’s (CSA) Earth Observation (EO) in Orbit webinar on the theme of the use of  artificial intelligence for Earth Observation. \nPresentation 1: On-Board ML in Resource-Constrained Satellites: Challenges and Pathways Forward\n\nDate: September 25\, 2025\nTime: 13:00 to 13:30 EDT\nPlace: Online\nLanguage: In English (captions and visual content will be available in French)\nPresented by: Benjamin Chui\, VP\, Systèmes définis par logiciel\, GALAXIA\n\nTheme\nCritical Earth Observation missions rely on timely analysis to support decision-making and response coordination in disaster monitoring\, resource management\, climate change tracking\, and defence. Historically\, when it comes to EO-related Machine Learning\, raw data is downlinked and processed on the ground\, introducing delays and limiting the impact that responses can have. Deploying ML models directly onboard satellites and downlinking only the results represents a transformative shift in how we detect and deal with critical events. \nCubeSats represent an excellent candidate for performing critical EO-related ML at scale\, allowing for low-cost\, highly distributed\, and responsive sensing. However\, the constrained size\, power budget\, and computational capacity of CubeSats introduce their own suite of challenges that must be addressed. Overcoming these challenges will determine how far we can push the boundaries of in-orbit autonomy and how quickly we can turn raw EO data into actionable insights. \nClick here to join the meeting \nPresentation 2: Robust & Reliable Onboard AI for Space\n\nDate: September 25\, 2025\nTime: 13:30 to 14:o0 EDT\nPlace: Online\nLanguage: In English (captions and visual content will be available in French)\nPresented by: Andrew Macdonald\, Director\, AI & Autonomy\n\nTheme\nThe space environment is becoming more complex\, with more commercial and government entities operating new mission types from low earth orbit to the lunar surface. These missions face a challenge\, generating vast amounts of data that cannot necessarily be brought back to the ground in time to make key decisions. Onboard machine learning (ML) algorithms can address this challenge\, opening up faster decision cycles and new capabilities\, but only if they can be verified and validated for mission critical applications. \nFor the past decade\, Mission Control has developed AI algorithms and applications deployed to satellite EO and lunar robotic missions\, developed deployment tools and software verification and validation techniques for deploying AI on low-SWAP processors for space\, and developed methods to monitor and update the performance of ML algorithms onboard. In this talk will discuss the lessons learned and challenges of implementing ML models at the edge in space\, including use cases from Mission Control’s past and upcoming lunar flight missions and never before seen commissioning photos from its Mission Persistence satellite\, which launched in June 2025. \nNote: The presentations will be in the language of choice of the presenter\, and automated captions with simultaneous translation will be accessible. You can ask your questions in the official language of your choice at the end of each presentation. \nClick here to join the meeting

DESCRIPTION:The OGC Canada Forum is pleased to invite you to participate in an online engagement session on Thursday\, September 24\, from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm EDT. The session will focus on the role of geospatial partners and stakeholders in implementing the Collaborative Geospatial Strategy for Canada\, currently being developed by the Canadian Council on Geomatics (CCOG) in collaboration with the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO) and the OGC Canada Forum. \nBuilding on the geospatial strategy panel discussion held during the last OGC Canada Forum on May 12 at GeoIgnite\, this session will: \n\nProvide an overview of the draft strategy.\nEngage participants in breakout discussions on the strategy’s four strategic missions.\nIdentify concrete action items that members and organizations of the geospatial community — including the OGC Canada Forum — can take to support implementation.\n\nInsights gathered from this session will be considered by CCOG in finalizing the strategy. \nFor additional details and links to background materials\, please see the description below. To indicate your interest and receive the meeting link\, please complete the registration form. \nImplementing a Collaborative Geospatial Strategy for Canada \nThe Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO)\, in collaboration with the Canadian Council on Geomatics (CCOG)\, is developing a Collaborative Geospatial Strategy to modernize and evolve the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure. The strategy is being informed by results of a stock take of Canada’s SDI conducted between June-November 2024\, as well as a series of round tables held between February and April 2025 with participation from industry\, academia\, Indigenous organizations\, NGOs\, and governments. CCMEO and CCOG are targeting November 2025 for completion of the strategy. \nThis interactive session will provide OGC Canada Forum participants with a preview of the draft strategy and the opportunity to engage in breakout discussions on each of the four draft strategic missions1. Participants will be invited to share their ideas for concrete initiatives and actions that the OGC Canada Forum and its members could undertake to complement government efforts and advance the strategy. The session will conclude with a recap of key insights from the breakout groups and a discussion of next steps for the OGC Canada Forum to follow up on proposed actions and develop an action plan. \nFormat: total time 2 hours (120 minutes): \n\nWelcome and introductions (5 minutes)\nPresentation of the draft strategy (20 minutes)\nBreak out room instructions (5 minutes)\nBreak out room rotations (60 minutes)\nBreak out group reports (20 minutes)\nDiscussion of next steps (10 minutes)\n\nDraft Strategic Missions:  \n\nImprove geospatial data availability (free\, open\, interoperable) and access to enable and maximize science\, innovation\, and One Canadian economy\nDrive greater use of geospatial data and applications across economic sectors and society for insights into issues that matter to Canadians\nSafeguard\, streamline\, and continuously improve Canada’s geospatial environment (SDI) to continue providing essential and coordinated geospatial data and services\, generating efficiencies\nBuild confidence in a future geospatial ecosystem by enhancing awareness and building capacity and skills to meet evolving complex needs

SUMMARY:SaGES 2025 CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:SaGES 2025 Conference \nDate: June 15 – June 19 \nLocation: BCIT Downtown Campus \n555 Seymour St\, Vancouver\, BC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBritish Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) is pleased to be hosting the 29th biennial conference of the Surveying and Geomatics Educators Society (SaGES). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout SaGES (Surveying and Geomatics Educators Society)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe surveying educators’ conferences in the USA and Canada started in 1937 at Rainy Lake\, Minnesota\, with Iowa State University being the first conference host. The educators’ main concerns at that time were focused on surveying instruction in civil engineering programs and the lack of a national presence for the surveying profession. Since then numerous conferences have taken place. \nSaGES was born from the surveying educators’ conferences in 2009\, continuing the “spirit of Rainy Lake.” The feeling was that the educators should have a formal society to help with the organization of the conference. The society would also help in increasing the conference attendance\, seek for collaborations\, formally represent educators in other professional organizations\, and create better means for addressing the important challenges in surveying education.
