The 10th International Colloquium on Scientific and Fundamental Aspects of GNSS will bring together members of the European scientific community and international partners involved in the use of Galileo and other GNSS in their research.
The colloquium will address several major areas of research:
- Scientific applications in meteorology, geodesy, geodynamics, geophysics, space physics, oceanography, land surface and ecosystem studies;
- Scientific developments in physics with a potential impact on future GNSS, particularly in testing fundamental laws of physics;
- Aspects of metrology such as reference frames, on board and ground clocks, precise orbit determination and time and frequency transfer; and
- Scientific aspects of satellite navigation, positioning and its applications, such as signal propagation, precise positioning;
The conference will be organised as a series of plenary talks, parallel half day sessions and poster presentations.
Gaussian splatting is rapidly gaining attention as a new way to create highly realistic 3D representations from imagery. But beyond impressive visualization, what can Gaussian splats actually be used for in photogrammetry? Join our guest Dr. Jules Morel, Data Analyst at Mirukuru in Japan, as we examine how Gaussian splats are created, what is required to achieve high-quality results, and where the technology fits within real-world photogrammetry workflows. We will also compare Gaussian splats with traditional textured meshes and discuss when each approach makes sense.
Specifically, attendees will learn about:
- Understanding the fundamentals of Gaussian splatting
- Capturing and processing imagery for high-quality results
- Using Gaussian splats for visualization and measurement
- Comparing splats with traditional textured meshes

GIS in Local Government Day is joining forces with the Local Government Information Technology South Australia (LGITSA) Annual Conference in early November.
GIS in Local Government Day brings together geospatial professionals, GIS practitioners, spatial data specialists and local government staff who have an interest in mapping, spatial analysis and location-based technologies.
This year, as part of the LGITSA Annual Conference (5-6 November), the event will take place on the afternoon of Friday, 6 November.
Delivered in partnership with the broader conference, the afternoon program will explore innovation, best practice, emerging technologies and real-world applications of GIS within local government.
The event will provide an opportunity to connect with fellow spatial professionals, share experiences and learn from other practitioners.
Priced at just $99 per person, registration includes Friday afternoon networking drinks and afternoon tea.
Delegates can also register for the wider conference if they wish, and gain access to an expanded program of technology, cyber security, information management and digital transformation content.
