Are you a young surveyor and always wondered what the digital frontier of the profession looked like? Are you mid career but developed foundation skills but have not yet ventured into the digital data part of the discipline? Are you a seasoned professional who loves to see what amazing things you can do with the tools and technologies of the 21st century?
If you answered yes to any of those questions then this is a webinar you won’t want to miss!
Michael Finlay is a Geospatial Engineer who specialises in 3D laser scanning and point cloud technologies. He is an early career professional who has been working at Jacobs for 8 years and is passionate about all things 3D laser scanning, especially mobile laser scanning (MLS). Michael is a trail blazer in developing the digital data team and discipline at Jacobs as not only a real value add, efficiency but product and service enricher for the surveying team. He gets involved with the planning, scanning, processing, adjusting, classifying, extracting, automation, analysis, visualisation and supports the interfaces of surveying and digital engineering and GIS environments for stakeholders from a broad variety of disciplines.
Check out Michael’s profile to see some of the amazing projects he has been involved in and how he champions this modern digital space for surveying and geospatial engineers.

During GEO Week 2021, the Group on Earth Observations will present the multidisciplinary activities of the GEO Work Programme that address policy agendas involved in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP26, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) COP15, the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration.
The online event will include the GEO-17 plenary, plus anchor and side events. Time will be scheduled each day for virtual networking. On Monday, November 22, the 56th Executive Committee will be held as a closed meeting.
Of particular importance will be the anchor events: These are the main events designed by GEO week 2021 organisers to explain the multidisciplinary nature of GEO through the concept of nexus thinking. Working on multiple topics simultaneously is essential in today’s rapidly changing environmental and social conditions. For example, work in one area will have a knock-on effect or impact in another area, such as the water, energy and food nexus. These events are linked to the global policy agendas that underpin most of GEO’s work.

The 15th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory, COSIT 2022, will be held in Kobe, Japan, 5 to 9 September, 2022. Established in 1993, the Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT) is a biennial international conference series concerned with theoretical aspects of space and spatial information, aimed at advancing geographic information science and its emerging research frontiers.
The conference offers three (refereed) submission tracks with double-blind reviews: vision papers, full papers, and short papers. Embedded in the conference will also be an on-site mentoring program for doctoral students.
Contributions can cover a broad set of conference-relevant themes such as (but not limited to):
- activity-based models of spatial knowledge
- cognitive aspects of geographic information
- cognitive-behavioural geography, naive geography
- data-driven spatial information theory
- geo-ethics and geo-privacy
- events and processes in geographic space and time
- geographic information visualisation and geovisual analytics
- knowledge representation for space and time
- navigation and wayfinding of sentient beings and robots
- ontology of space and time
- place
- quality and interoperability of geographic information
- social and cultural organisation of space
- spatial and temporal language
- spatial aspects of social networks
- spatial decision support, impact of model design
- spatial (digital) humanities
- theory-driven spatial machine learning, artificial intelligence of space
- theories on volunteered geographic information
- theory and practice of spatial and temporal reasoning
- user interfaces, virtual spaces and collaborative spaces
The Ocean Optics Conference attracts a diverse audience of active practitioners in the field, including oceanographers, marine ecologists, limnologists, optical engineers, marine resource managers and policy professionals from around the world.
Conference presentations will include the science of optics across all aquatic environments, research, and applications, including (but not limited to) biogeochemistry, environmental management and applications, instruments, techniques and observational systems, remote sensing, phytoplankton ecology, radiative transfer and optical theory, global change, and benthic processes.
Attendees will attend plenary presentations during the day and interact with colleagues during scientific poster session receptions held in the exhibit/poster hall in the early evening. In addition to invited and contributed oral and poster presentations, the conference will provide the opportunity for community-wide discussions.

Featuring a spotlight on crowd-sourced bathymetry, the Map the Gaps Symposium 2023 will bring people together to learn, share and contribute to ocean discovery.
Held on behalf of GEBCO, this event draws global experts in ocean technology, science and policy to discuss deep and coastal ocean exploration, offshore surveying technology, policy, diversity, equity and inclusion, the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 project and GEBCO alumni activities.
Participation is open to all, including industry professionals, explorers, authors, students, researchers, government representatives and emerging technologists. Participants can attend in person or online.
