Best Practice GI for Climate Impact – webinar

Best Practice GI for Climate Impact – webinar

The Local Government Spatial Reference Group (LGSRG) will be holding a webinar on Monday, 4 September, to introduce a series of hands-on workshops it will be holding across Victoria during September 2023.

The webinar will cover the topic of Best Practice Geospatial Intelligence for Climate Impact, and will address important topics on climate impact, community safety and how geospatial intelligence can contribute to better outcomes for local governments.

The LGSRG was formed in 2003 to address the need for a sector wide group representing the strategic interests of the Victorian Local Government sector with respect to spatial information. The LGSRG has been active throughout the COVID pandemic to keep the local government geospatial community connected and engaged via the annual Spatial Capability Workshop series which have grown year on year, and is now diversifying with a quarterly Spatial Hour webinar to share stories of success within the local government geospatial sector.

  • Machine guidance applications in agriculture, construction and mining
  • Maritime applications
  • Uncrewed aerial systems
  • Space applications of PNT in Earth orbit and for lunar and Martian exploration
  • Positioning infrastructure
  • GNSS vulnerability, resilience and risk
  • Interference detection and mitigation
  • Policies and standards
  • SBAS and other augmentations
  • Datums and geodesy
  • National and international GNSS developments
  • Emerging application areas for GNSS
  • Key industries and their reliance on GNSS
  • The multi-GNSS era
