The Land Title and Survey Authority spoke about Crown Land surveys and treaties in BC, and the Canadian Hydrographic Service gave presentations on offshore surveys.

Equipment suppliers demonstrated the newest models of GPS and total stations. I am inviting you to participate in this program as a speaker. If you are able to make a presentation to the Geomatics students, please let me know so that we can schedule the speakers for the next two semesters, Sept 2012 to April 2013, for the BCIT Geomatics Program.

CIG Speaker Series at BCIT Speaker: Mike Thompson, P.Eng, FEC Mike Thompson graduated from the University of Calgary in 1988. He worked for several mapping companies before he and Nick Dudley formed Dudley Thompson Mapping Corp. in 2006. Using the latest technologies in hardware and software they are equipped to handle a large range of mapping projects such as; • Engineering level mapping for Highways and Mine Development. Topic: A Bit of Old and New Mike will present a method to provide evidence of the existence, or non-existence of roads or other cultural data using aerial photography dating back into the 1920’s. With this evidence a surveyor can petition the courts to render a decision on the position of the road and if the road and right of way are in violation of any previous or standing agreements. He will then delve into the most exciting technology to hit the survey
and mapping community since digital Photogrammetry in the late 1980’s.
Mobile Mapping Systems (MMS) using vehicle mounted lasers and integrated
with GPS and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) technology. These systems
