Annapolis Valley Trails Coalition: An Enterprise GIS Solution

June 26, 2019/in Presentations/by Ted MacKinnon

Annapolis Valley Trails Coalition (AVTC) manages and maintains the Harvest Moon Trail that runs from Grand-Pré to Annapolis Royal through little towns, agricultural fields and along the Annapolis River. Over the course of the fall semester, students at COGS (Centre of Geographic Sciences) explored scalable Enterprise GIS solutions to manage trail assets. They modelled and built a spatial database and integrated it within desktop and web GIS solutions.

Dormant inland lifeways of Graham Island, xaadlaa gwayee

June 21, 2019/in Presentations/by Ted MacKinnon

In this talk I will demonstrate where one such trail is located. I shall describe the landscape archaeological approach I used to do indicate where the trail is, which employed a GIS to contain, map and analyse the results, and Google Earth to provide three dimensional views.

Updating the Online National Vector Cache Maps

June 15, 2019/in Presentations/by Ted MacKinnon

Esri Canada has developed an automated process for updating online national vector cache maps using the latest in contributor data. This presentation discusses the process and software used to do so.

10 Years of The Selkirk College – Columbia Basin Watershed Network Mapping Program

June 13, 2019/in Presentations/by Ted MacKinnon

Since 2008 Selkirk College’s Geospatial Research Centre (SGRC ) has provided the Columbia Basin Watershed Network (CBWN ) with mapping support.

Multi-faceted Approach to Studying Glacier Mass Change in the Columbia and Rocky Mountains

June 12, 2019/in Presentations/by Ted MacKinnon

Glaciers in the Canadian Columbia River Basin are in a state of retreat in response to climate change. Regionally, sparse data limits our ability to understand and quantify present and future changes to the alpine cryosphere.

Canada’s Human Footprint; Finding the Wild, Intact, and Human Dominated

June 8, 2019/in Presentations/by Ted MacKinnon

Canada is one of the signatories on the Convention on Biodiversity and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets. With these ambitious conservation targets, there is a need to better understand the distribution of threats to natural systems across the Canadian landscape. Global footprint maps have shown Canada as relatively ‘wild’ however, the threats mapped represent only a subset of threats relevant to Canada as the country still lacks a national scale cumulative threat study. Mapping threats to biodiversity on a national scale will help determine what systems are most intact and which areas are heavily threatened.

2019 Award of Distinction for Exceptional Professional Contributions to the Practice of Cartography

June 5, 2019/in Recent News/by Ted MacKinnon

The Executive Committee of the Canadian Cartographic Association was pleased to grant Chris Brackley with the Award of Distinction for Exceptional Professional Contributions to the Practice of Cartography at the 2019 Canadian Cartographic Association Conference in Prince George, British Columbia.

The Process and Challenges of Producing High Resolution Orthoimages in the Thousands Using Agisoft Photoscan

June 3, 2019/in Presentations/by Ted MacKinnon

With a total project area of 4363 km2 (more than 1.5 times the area of all of Luxembourg), producing 2136 orthoimages of the area surrounding BC’s Kootenay Lake (clipped to 1:2500 scale tiles at a 10 cm resolution) presented a host of challenges to be identified and surmounted.

Alberta Triple Prescription Program Atlas

June 3, 2019/in Presentations/by Ted MacKinnon

The purpose of the Triplicate Prescription Program Atlas is to provide an overview of provincial TPP medication utilization. It presents the data as tables, graphs, and maps.

Takla Nation’s way of Creating Base Maps for Collecting Information Out on the Land

June 1, 2019/in Presentations/by Ted MacKinnon

With the growth of activities and staff in the Lands Department of the Takla Nation, GIS data management has been expanding at a rapid rate. Field data collection is an important part of the spatial data management. In combination of the existing Open Source tools we have been using to manage our information, we are using an application called “Geopaparazzi” for field work. I will be illustrating the steps to use this customizable application from create of basemaps, vector overlays to data collection and integration.
