SDB Day 2019
The International Forum on Satellite-Derived Bathymetry 2019
Esteemed speakers and guests from hydrographic offices, marine industry, service providers and research institutes around the world will gather for Australia’s first SDB Day in May 2019.
Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is a method for providing high-resolution water depth data in shallow water environments. These waters are notoriously difficult and expensive to access. The method combines satellite imagery with advanced algorithms to provide affordable and accurate data, and all within a relatively quick turnaround time.
The forum addresses the urgent need for both users and producers of SDB to jointly discuss capabilities, standards, data integration and handling uncertainties in its application.
The Future of Place Summit aims to be a day filled with critical discussion, knowledge sharing and networking around the intersection of people, place technology and data.
The event will focus on four themes:
- Designing for digital lifestyles — A new human-centred planning approach
- From precinct plans to development reality — The evolving digital and data DNA of urban growth
- Data-inspired discussions — Tapping into the real voice of the community
- Streets reimagined — The digital backbone for better experiences
Delegates can take part in person or via Zoom.
Registrations are now open for the Australian Institute of Mine Surveyors (AIMS) Kalgoorlie Regional Seminar, which will be held at the Kalgoorlie Bowling Club on Friday, 29 October.
The day will start at 2:30pm with an optional lawn bowls and beers social occasion, followed at 4:00pm by AIMS sessions and a sponsor interaction session. Drinks and nibbles will be supplied. Sponsors include AAM, Arvista, Caroni, Deswik, GeoCue Australia, HL Geospatial and Maptek.
There are various levels of registration fees depending upon member category. Full details can be found at the link above.
The WA geospatial community will come together on 16 February 2022 to learn, network, share experiences and catch up with colleagues old and new.
The WA Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards dinner will also be held in conjunction with the conference, celebrating the outstanding work being undertaken across the region during 2022.

Hydrographers and all those with an interest in hydrography and related disciplines, are invited to attend a World Hydrography Day 2023 Seminar in Suva, Fiji, on 22 and 23 June.
The seminar will be held jointly by the Australasian Hydrographic Society and the Fiji Hydrographic Service. The venue will be the Moana Anglican Services and Teaching Centre at St John the Baptist Theological College.
The organisers are calling for potential sponsors and presenters to get in touch.
The theme for World Hydrography Day 2023 is ‘Hydrography: Contributing to the United Nations Ocean Decade’.
The seminar comes after a two-year pause due to the COVID pandemic and associated travel restrictions. It will provide an opportunity for professionals to network and share hydrospatial knowledge through presentations and discussion.
It is also intended that the presentations will highlight the empowerment of women within the hydrography field.
Registration is free but places are limited. Registrations must be secured by close of business, Tuesday, 20 June 2023.
