PRE- AND POST EVENTS

Exploring ICESat-2 Data: Applications in Elevation Mapping, Water Height, and Beyond

Date: Saturday 5 April
Time: TBC (3 hour workshop)
Location: Rydges South Bank (next to BCEC)
Fee: $75

This workshop will demonstrate the effective use of ICESat-2 data for diverse geospatial applications, including elevation mapping, water height analysis, bathymetry, and more. Participants will gain hands-on experience with reading, downloading, customizing, and visualizing ICESat-2 data for their specific use cases.

Objectives:

  • Introduce participants to ICESat-2 data and its practical applications in geospatial science.
  • Provide step-by-step guidance on accessing, customizing, and analyzing ICESat-2 datasets.
  • Demonstrate real-world use cases, such as elevation mapping, monitoring water height, and bathymetry studies.
  • Encourage collaboration and innovation in leveraging ICESat-2 for multidisciplinary geospatial challenges.

Expected Outcomes:
Participants will leave with practical skills in ICESat-2 data utilization, ready to apply these methods to their projects in surveying, hydrography, and environmental management.

Climate Masterclass

Date: Sunday 6 April
Time: TBC (3 hour workshop)
Location: Rydges South Bank (next to BCEC)
Fee: $75

This Masterclass will showcase the depth and breadth of climate’s link with the work surveyors do, with a practical, engagement-focused approach. Join us for a series of short presentations which showcase various aspects of climate and surveying, followed by interactive discussion where we map out what areas are and aren’t being worked on in the space.

Reference Frames in Practise (RFIP)

Date: Saturday 5 April & Sunday 6 April
Time: TBC
Location: Rydges South Bank (next to BCEC)
Fee: $175
Includes: tea and coffee, lunch on Saturday. Morning Tea on Sunday.

The main focus is on reference frames in general with a specific focus on UN initiatives, global and regional frames as well selected national case studies.

The technical seminar is aimed at surveyors, spatial professionals, students and operational geodesists who are interested in learning more about practical aspects of reference frames from some of the world’s leading geodesists and geodetic surveyors.

9th FIG Young Surveyors Conference in Collaboration with GCA Young and Emerging Professionals

Date: Saturday 5 April & Sunday 6 April
Time: TBC
Location: The Cube
Fee: $100
Includes: tea and coffee, lunch on Saturday. Morning Tea on Sunday.

Under the theme “Next-Gen Geospatial Professionals: Driving a Digitally Enabled Future”, this year’s conference is your gateway to the cutting edge of the geospatial industry.

Join us as we explore the power of emerging technologies, innovative practices, and global collaboration to shape a future that’s digitally dynamic and sustainable. This is where young minds meet seasoned experts, big ideas spark action, and YOU become part of the movement driving transformation in surveying and beyond. Prepare to network, learn, and be inspired by a dynamic program filled with interactive workshops, panel sessions, and hands-on experiences. Whether you’re passionate about advancing tech, solving real-world problems, or connecting with fellow trailblazers, this is your stage to shine!

Let’s push boundaries and chart a course for tomorrow’s geospatial solutions, together!
