SUMMARY:L’observation de la Terre : en première ligne pour faire face aux défis environnementaux et sociétaux
DESCRIPTION:L’observation de la Terre (OT) a depuis longtemps fait ses preuves en appui à la prise de décisions éclairées dans de multiples champs\, dont l’agriculture\, l’hydrologie\, la foresterie et la sécurité civile. Par ailleurs\, au cours de la dernière décennie\, un essor technologique et conceptuel intense a amené une multiplication des capteurs\, un raffinement majeur des résolutions autant spatiales que temporelles\, certes signes précurseurs de développement\, mais aussi d’enjeux sociétaux. \nS’inscrivant dans la foulée du colloque Acfas 2021\, L’observation de la Terre à l’ère de la 4e révolution industrielle\, cette édition se concentre sur quatre tendances clés : 1) l’introduction de nouveaux capteurs et plateformes innovantes; 2) les défis posés par les données massives; 3) l’utilisation de l’intelligence artificielle; et 4) la démocratisation de l’accès et de l’analyse des données. \nEn premier lieu\, les nouveaux capteurs (LiDAR\, hyperspectral) et plateformes (drones\, CubeSat) repoussent les frontières radiométriques et spatiales\, permettent la concrétisation de séries temporelles fiables et encouragent l’entrée de nouveaux joueurs dans le milieu. La multiplication des données d’OT nécessite quant une gestion de mégadonnées pour lesquelles les requêtes et l’analyse exigent des compétences complexes et un savoir-faire unique. Par ailleurs\, l’IA s’étant rapidement imposée comme incontournable en OT\, ses capacités d’automatisation et d’analyse révolutionnent le domaine du traitement des images\, mais\, en contrepartie\, provoquent des questionnements éthiques et sociétaux importants. Enfin\, l’accès et l’analyse de données d’OT se sont démocratisés grâce à l’infonuagique : ce nouveau paradigme ouvre la porte à une nouvelle clientèle de praticiens et praticiennes multidisciplinaires. \nCes avancées scientifiques et techniques constituent des tremplins d’innovation et de collaboration d’une valeur inestimable pour notre communauté et sont\, comme il est déjà possible de l’observer\, une voie d’avenir prometteuse.

SUMMARY:NATIONAL SURVEYORS CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:A SENSE OF WHERE YOU ARE \n\n\n\n\nMay 10th – 13th 2022   Brookstreet Hotel\, 525 Legget Drive\, Ottawa\, Ontario K2K 2W2 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nJoin Professional Surveyors Canada (PSC) and The Association of Canada Land Surveyors (ACLS) at the 2022 National Surveyors Conference. \nFor more information and to register: https://www.acls-aatc.ca/events/national-surveyors-conference-2022/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAY 12\, 2022: Presenting Professional Surveyors Canada\, Continuing Professional Development Sessions \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8:35am – 10:00am \n“Asset Management for Sustainable Infrastructure – an emerging practice for geomatics professionals” \nPresenter: \nDr. Robert Radovanovic\, P.Eng.\, P.Surv\, CAMA\, ENV Sp. \nSummary:  \nWorldwide\, there has been a growing recognition that smarter investments in infrastructure are needed if we are going to ensure sustainable outcomes for communities. This is driving an increased interest in the area of Infrastructure Asset Management (IAM)\, which in turn is providing an exciting opportunity for surveyors and other geomatics professionals to diversify on the basis of their geospatial expertise.\nIAM is a multi-disciplinary field of practice that brings together data on the condition and location of assets like roads\, utilities and buildings with analytics that assess how assets will age and wear under current and anticipated use patterns and environmental conditions. This information is then used to prioritize investment decisions to minimize total lifecycle costs while ensuring that end users receive consistent and quality service delivery.\nIn this presentation\, an overview of the principles of IAM is provided\, along with discussion of how IAM systems are put together in practice from a data gathering\, analytics and policy perspective. Many of the technologies which are driving advances in IAM have roots in the geomatics profession\, such as 3D laser scanners\, remote sensing\, GIS databases and least-squares and other prediction techniques and this presentation focuses on the geomatics and surveying underpinnings of this practice area. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:30am – 12:00pm \n“Issues in Recent Court Cases: Indigenous title\, Shared natural boundary factors and Revisiting co-ordinates” \nPresenter: \nIzaak de Rijcke\, LL.M.\, OLS\, of the Ontario Bar and Yukon Bar (Ret.) \nSummary:  \nProfessional surveyors in Canada are good at adapting to change and new challenges. However\, remaining aware of trends in case law that will impact their professional and business activities is an important resource to have in meeting these challenges. The sheer volume of case law emanating from courts across Canada calls for proactive measures to “check in” periodically on trends and new developments in the law.\nIn the last five years there has been no shortage of new decisions – despite the impact of a pandemic which\, in many instances has meant trials\, hearings and appeals taking place by videoconference. In this workshop\, 3 issues are identified and briefly described\, with a high level explanation of what each one could mean for land surveyors across Canada. In addition to the workshop\, members will receive a short synopsis of the presentation and the cases reviewed for further discussion with colleagues and employees after the workshop is over. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAY 13\, 2022: Professional Surveyors Canada\, Annual General Meeting (AGM) \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:00am – 12:00pm \n“Annual General Meeting” \nPresenters: \nJordan Litke\, Chair \nGabriel Arancibia\, Vice Chair \nDarren Patkau\, Vice Chair & Treasurer \nMichelle DeCecco-Zuk\, Executive Director \nDave Gurnsey\, PLIC Chair \nAgenda:  \n\nWelcome & Opening Remarks\nBoard of Directors & Staff Changes  – Motion\nOngoing Initiatives & Achievements\nProfessional Liability Insurance Program\nFinancial Overview\n2021 Year End Financials  – Motion\nProposed 2022 Budget\nAppointment of accountant – Motion\nOpen Forum\nClosing Remarks

SUMMARY:The Business of Digital Twins
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\n\nDigital Twins are getting a significant amount of attention within the AECOO industry.  Is this just a passing trend or a new industry buzzword? This event will dive into the business case for Digital Twins\, and explore real-world case studies of how leading organizations are adopting and capitalizing on this technology.   How do Digital Twins add value for the players in the AECOO industry and how can Canadian firms get their unfair share of the Digital Twin market? The panel discussion will revolve around the added value for each member of the team\, the return on investment and the future of their Digital Twin strategy.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Spatial Data & Using R as a GIS - GeoTech Training
DESCRIPTION:In this one day course\, we will explore how to use R to import\, manage and process spatial data. We will also cover the process of making choropleth maps\, as well as some basic spatial analysis. Finally\, we will cover the use of loops to make multiple maps quickly and easily\, one of the major benefits of using a scripting language to make maps\, rather than traditional graphic point-and-click interface. \n

SUMMARY:The Canadian Cartographic Association annual conference
DESCRIPTION:The Canadian Cartographic Association annual conference will be held online May 25-27\, 2022.\nWe live in a world with complex and intertwined social\, health\, economic\, demographic and natural challenges and opportunities\, as COVID-19\, wildfires\, drought and floods (among other occurrences) have demonstrated in just the past two years. While we are awash with technologies and platforms that continually produce new data on some topics\, data gaps remain concerning pressing issues. In addition\, we must consider quality of data and fitness for purpose when data are available\, and working with historical data that could provide context for many problems and discussions is often difficult. From concept to data collection to designing effective summaries and visualizations\, how do mapmakers focus themselves and their audience on the stories geospatial data can help us tell? How does cartographic design apply in the diverse contexts in which location and spatial relations can help us understand our environment? How are design principles applied (i) in the forums and platforms on which our maps now appear and (ii) with the expectations users bring to maps and location?
