The 6th Digital Earth Summit, together with a celebration of the tenth anniversary of ISDE, will be held on 7-8 July 2016 in Beijing, China. With the theme of “Digital Earth in the Era of Big Data”, this Summit will offer a great opportunity for scientists, engineers, technologists, managers and other stakeholders to exchange scientific and technical knowledge and to seek research ideas and cooperation opportunities in the field of Digital Earth.
Since the concept was put forth in 1998, Digital Earth has thrived with a panoramic scenario for growth. The International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE) was established in Beijing in May 2006 as an international scientific organization promoting academic exchange, scientific and technological innovation, education, and international collaboration towards the development of Digital Earth. In addition to the series of symposia on Digital Earth organized every odd year since 1999, the Digital Earth summit is our society’s other platform held biennially every even year, presenting discussions on specific fields and issues related to Digital Earth since 2006.
The 6th Digital Earth Summit, together with a celebration of the tenth anniversary of ISDE, will be held on 7-8 July 2016 at the Beijing International Convention Center, China. Organized by ISDE, the summit offers a strong opportunity to exchange knowledge, develop research cooperation, discuss important issues, and continue to improve the scientific field of Digital Earth.
Under the theme “Digital Earth in the Era of Big Data”, this 6th Digital Earth Summit aims to provide an international platform to focus on the application and technologies of Digital Earth for new developments and advances in the context of big data. The birth and growth of big data have brought opportunities and challenges to Digital Earth and moved forward its concept from “putting Earth into the computer” to a broader Big Earth Data. In this new era, Digital Earth should stitch together the huge, valuable geo-data resources increasingly available to us, and perform simulations in real-time of interactions among all Earth system processes in all spheres with respect to their physical, chemical, biological and social science elements. It should also integrate massive, multi-spatial, multi-temporal, multi-resolution, and multi-typed Earth observation and socioeconomic data as well as analysis algorithms and models, fully encompassing the properties of big data.

Georabble has announced the first speakers for GeoRabble Sydney, 7 July 2016 at the King Street Brewhouse– 22 The Promenade, Darling Harbour.
The theme is “The Last 50 Meters”, or how to improve the accuracy of location using 21st century tools.
On the topic of finding your way, where traditional addressing may not be good enough we have:
• Gerry Stanley (PSMA) Capturing building outlines across 7.7 million km2 to find the last 50 metres could be regarded as challenge enough.
Capturing 3D building attributes, surface cover, tree heights, swimming pools, roof material and more for 90% of Australia’s population is a much larger challenge…
• Oliver Slezak propositions Georabble that a “Front Door” is the reference point at any location. He proposes to invite all digital mappers to co-operate to map “Front Doors” as its reference point, starting with allowing volunteered input.
• Brian Nicholls (AAM) will present a “fully 3D enabled GIS based property booking system”.
• Michael Krason (Mailcall) Estimating delivery times is tricky. But when you have inaccurate addresses to play with, it becomes a different game. Hear more about routing and delivery time estimation when dealing with poor addresses.
Other presenters and/or panelists are invited to pitch their thoughts/ideas on the topic. If you would like to participate in the panel, please contact sydney@georabble.org with your proposed topic.

CAD modelling software 12d Model turns twenty five this year and to celebrate the 12d Silver Jubilee Conference 2016 is being in held Brisbane over three days this July. The conference will take place from Sunday 24- Tuesday 26 July 2016 in the Grey Street section of the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and registration is now open.
The 12d International Conference we will highlight the possibilities of the newly released 12d Model 12, as well as 12d Synergy. As with last year’s event, which was also in Brisbane, there will again be breakout sessions on design, surveying, water and drainage, and 12d Synergy.
A program has been announced with industry-leading discussions from the likes of AECOM, ADAC case studies, BIM projects and insights from Sydney’s NorthConnex road tunnel project.
In addition to the main presentations, conference delegates will enjoy the ‘Birds of a Feather’ sessions, where attendees can choose to attend specialised tutorials held in areas such as Design, Surveying, 12d Field, Drainage and 12d Synergy.
A permanent ‘12d Model Learning Centre’ will be set up to allow attendees to ask 12d staff questions relating to any 12d Model options. Delegates will be able to meet the developers of 12d Model. The Conference allows you to meet and share thoughts with our programming team. Delegates enjoy the opportunity to gain many insights and provide valuable feedback.
Registrations for the 12d International Conference 2016 close this Friday. Be sure not to miss out by securing your registration here.

The Association of Surveyors of Papua New Guinea (ASPNG) will be hosting a special 50th commemorative congress this year in Port Moresby, 27-29 July. The conference organisers are now calling for interested parties to submit abstracts, exhibit or register to attend.
The theme of “50 YEARS of SURVEY CONGRESS in PNG” reflects a half century of the event where members of ASPNG and interested professionals to get together, present technical papers and discuss issues regarding surveying, mapping, education and training, technology (equipment / software), surveyor’s registration, government regulations, policies, and to socialise.
Although the Association was formed on in 1960, the Papua New Guinea has a rich and fascinating history of surveying and mapping dating back to at least 1886 when the first Survey plan of Port Moresby was created by Walter R. Cuthbertson.
The rich history of surveying in the region since this time and long into the future will be discussed during over two days of the congress. The call for papers is currently open and conference organisers are asking for interested presenters to submit their abstracts by 20 June 2016.
Price: ASPNG non-member PGK1300 (approx. AU$553), QSSA members PGK850 (approx. AUD420)
