Chartis Technology will present a live webinar on practical spatial editing in Metrix Assets, its SaaS enterprise asset management platform.

According to the company, spatial data quietly shapes everything downstream. For instance, if a polygon is in the wrong place or a line feature is off, condition reports, renewal forecasts and capital works planning all inherit the problem.

This webinar is intended for people such as asset officers, GIS coordinators, and engineers who need clean, reliable geometry, and will cover the following Metrix Assets topics:

• Using the line split tool to handle partial replacements without losing segmentation or financial history;
• Applying automatic spatial themes to surface condition, width, and depth anomalies;
• Linking asset data to spatial properties and working with WKT geometry on import;
• Getting the most out of Metrix and QGIS together; and
• How to view spatial history for auditing purposes.

The session will be presented by Matt Robinson, who leads the Technical and Software Development Teams at Chartis Technology. Robinson’s experience in the field has been developed by working on projects in verticals such as local, state and federal government, mining, utilities and telcos. Prior to joining Chartis Technology, he worked in a range of senior positions at 1Spatial, Lagen Spatial and Bathurst Regional Council.

Join experts from artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, thematic applications, engineers and research scientists active in the field of foundation models (FMs) applied to climate, weather, Earth observation (EO), and Earth sciences from across the globe in this workshop hosted by NASA and ESA (European Space Agency).

The Second ESA-NASA International Workshop on AI Foundation Model for Earth Observation will focus on further strengthening cross-agency and cross-disciplinary collaboration between the EO and AI/FM communities to advance the transition of foundation models from research prototypes to operational, trustworthy, and impactful Earth science tools.

The key goal of the workshop is to foster meaningful exchange across science, applications, and operations, while creating space for emerging topics such as agentic AI, novel applications, benchmarking frameworks, and responsible AI use.

The 2026 Advancing Earth Observation Forum aims to bring together professionals from across Australia and beyond, to share, learn, connect and collaborate.

The four-day event promises to attract a diverse range of participants from the Earth observation community, including those in industry, government, research, defence, not-for-profits and educational institutions.

The 2026 Forum will build on the momentum generated at the 2024 event in Adelaide and the inaugural AEO Forum held in Brisbane in 2022.
