À la ville de Québec existe un système (SIGMA II) qui regroupe tous les plans et les cartes anciens qui couvrent le territoire de la ville. Le positionnement précis de ces derniers permet de voir l’évolution des divers quartiers de la ville et de certains terrains en particulier. Actuellement, SIGMA n’est pas accessible aux personnes […]

This project will be studying the relationship of Green Anacondas with their surroundings by describing the ways Anacondas use their habitats and how these behaviours change throughout the year. We will be using a technology called “radio telemetry” to follow Anacondas in order to observe them and collect information. Drone and Satellite imagery will be […]

This proposal details an approach for evaluating a planned project led by SII called Participatory Cities: a new inclusive, system-based approach to stimulating and supporting dense networks of practical ‘participation culture’ in cities around the world. With proof of concept developed and tested in London, UK, by the Participatory City Foundation, the model will now […]

This project is focused on exploring volunteered geographic information (VGI), a special classification of widely available and pervasive data, which is commonly afflicted by issues degrading its overall quality. These issues make the applicability of VGI for a variety of projects in government, private, and scientific sectors questionable. We hope to design and implement several […]

In 2006, the Government of Ontario introduced “Places to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe” to control urban sprawl, protect farmland and green spaces, create complete communities and revitalize downtowns and urban centres. Key specifications include minimum intensification targets, such as requiring 40% of new residential development to occur in existing built-up areas. […]

Marine species are threatened by a growing number of human activities occurring in our seas and oceans. Understanding the consequences of pollution, for instance, requires combining information relative to the distribution of pollutants in marine environments with information relative to the spatial distribution of marine species. Our project aims at creating a framework for the […]

The year 2017 marks the 375th anniversary of the foundation of the city of Montreal. The Laboratory of Remote Sensing, Department of Geography, Montreal University, and Esri Canada want to take part in the celebrations by offering to the Montreal community an interactive tool illustrating the historical evolution of the city of Montreal.
