Our latest paper, “Multiscale Space-Time Analysis of Environmental Changes in the Oil Sands Area (Alberta, Canada),” has been published in the International Journal of Geoinformatics. This paper analyzes environmental changes in Alberta’s Oil Sands Area using geospatial techniques and landscape metrics, examining trends in natural and anthropogenic disturbances from 2000 to 2020. #environmentalchanges #spatialanalysis #geoinformatics #remotesensing If you’re interested, check it out here:

🛰️ CSRS-SCT 2024 Featured Workshop 🛰️ At this year's 45th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing in Halifax, NS, Maryam Jameela will be leading a workshop on deep learning for remote sensing. The workshop will introduce deep learning approaches through theory and examples. It will include two sessions; the first will focus on image datasets (2D), and the second will focus on LiDAR datasets (3D). The first session will overview deep learning, explaining important theories and terminologies in convolutional neural networks. Following this, we will review the latest 2D object detection network such as Oriented RCNN which will be the focus of this session’s demonstration for detecting pylon and span in utility corridor data. The second session will cover a lecture that discusses LiDAR point-cloud processing. We will be reviewing RandLA and SUNet to understand the demonstration of urban scene understanding and semantic segmentation of utility corridors. For more information: https://bit.ly/4aPkxzK

Joanna Eyquem PGeo. ENV SP. CWEM. CEnv. was interviewed for GoGeomatics, discussing The Crucial Role of Geospatial Data and AI in Building a National Flood Strategy for Canada. "We need greater and smarter investment in adaptation. Many focus on investments in terms of dollar amounts, but we also need to ensure that the money being spent is bringing the most benefit in the long-term. It would be very easy to spend billions of dollars on flood control structures, like bigger pumps and dikes, but ongoing maintenance costs, the societal value of what is being protected, and co-benefits also need to factor into decision-making. If we want long-term solutions to reduce flood risk, we need to fund projects that see beyond political election timeframes." The article also describes and features direct links to the Municipal Flood Risk Check-Up and home flood infographics. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gv5VqYz4
