What an incredible day in London with friends and colleagues at the Ground Engineering Magazine's #GESmart Geotechnics conference! It was evident from all the presentations that the combination of data, AI, and engineering judgment is both the present and the future of geotechnical engineering. It seems we were on the right track when we decided back in 2016 to establish SAALG Geomechanics, bringing geotechnics and AI technology together to better understand ground behavior. 😅 Congratulations to the organizers and all the speakers!

Previewed at GEO Business in London, the AGI’s EO Network will bring together members and industry in a bid to raise awareness and education, and foster new relationships between those involved in the capture, processing, and use of Earth Observation data. It is expected that the new Network will be one of many initiatives from the AGI to strengthen the geospatial community and its relationships. The AGI Earth Observation Network will be officially launched at an event on the 2nd October 2024 in London. Hosted by Geovation, an Ordnance Survey Initiative, which has together, with HM Land Registry, already kickstarted the business of over 150 geospatial and property startups raising a total of £130m in funding to date, and creating 2,500 jobs for the UK economy. Invitations will be extended in September so interested parties should register their interest by emailing info@agi.org.uk. Richard Flemmings, Director of the Association for Geographic Information and CEO of Map Impact, commented “There is a substantial continued growth predicted in the Earth Observation market with the number of EO satellites in orbit expected to triple as the manufacturing market grows by 40 percent and the value of the market increases by 55 percent.

Could a new era of AI-powered support be on the horizon? 🤖💬 We’re on the brink of unveiling something transformative for geotechnical practitioners. Stay tuned for the big reveal! 🤩 #Rocscience #ArtificialIntelligence #EngineeringInnovation #GeotechnicalEngineering

Existing large-scale #buildingheight estimation studies focusing on coarse spatial resolution cannot reveal height variations across buildings in urban areas. The team proposed a deep learning-based super-resolution method to generate building height maps. The researchers created an open building height dataset with 45,000 samples covering 301 cities in the Northern Hemisphere, including China, the conterminous United States, and Europe. The dataset generated provides great potential in high-resolution database updating, #urbanplanning, and #naturaldisaster assessment, as well as a new perspective of how cutting-edge #satelliteimaging technology can be utilised in urban observation, measurement, monitoring, and management.

🌍 New Research Published in NDT.net! 🚀 In this study, we explored the impact of snowmelt-induced landslides on the "Villa Ilii" Viaduct along the A24 highway in Central Italy. With climate change intensifying natural hazards, our research highlights the integration of Differential Interferometry SAR (DInSAR) techniques and AI-driven Gradient Boosting Machines (GBMs) to assess deformation risks and enhance landslide hazard prediction. 🔍 Key Highlights: Detected deformation rates of up to +2.5 cm/year, emphasizing critical structural risks. Identified strong correlations between snowmelt dynamics and ground deformation, especially during late spring and summer. Achieved an 87% accuracy in landslide pattern recognition using GBM models, showcasing the power of combining remote sensing and machine learning. This work provides a robust framework for monitoring geohazards and designing resilient infrastructure, contributing to proactive disaster management strategies. I want to thank my collaborators (Dr. Simone Palumbo, Amirbahador Kouchakkapourchali, and Luigi Guerriero), my mentor for their guidance and support, Prof. Diego Di Martire, and NDT.net for providing a platform to share our findings. 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/erh9GG_F Looking forward to connecting with others in the fields of remote sensing, geohazard monitoring, and AI applications in geosciences.

The event, centered around geodesy, geoinformation, and land management, presented innovative geodata-based solutions to an international audience over three days, addressing current challenges such as climate change, urbanization, and sustainable land use. This year’s INTERGEO EXPO and CONFERENCE reaffirmed its role as the leading trade fair in the geospatial industry, thanks to strong international participation and the presentation of innovative solutions. Additionally, it served as the central meeting point for in-depth exchange within the industry, where experts and professionals discussed future-oriented developments and forged valuable contacts. WITH 579 EXHIBITORS and OVER 17.000 VISITORS FROM 121 COUNTRIES, the EXPO demonstrated its international reach and the industry's resilience despite global economic challenges. The CONFERENCE brought AROUND 800 ATTENDEES FROM 47 COUNTRIES to Stuttgart with its broad program. "The numbers show that we are presenting important tools for addressing central societal challenges. Digital twins, based on artificial intelligence (AI), are becoming increasingly important for tackling climate change. They are indispensable planning tools for cities, buildings, transportation, security, and environmental applications," said Prof. Dr. Rudolf Staiger, President of DVW e.V., German Association for Geodesy, Geoinformation, and Land Management. Administrations and organizations worldwide rely on geoinformation as a foundation for forecasts and decisions. Decision-makers use real-time data, GeoAnalytics, Big Data, and AI to help address climate and social crises, Staiger added.

𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐉𝐮𝐧, Professor/ Chief Scientist at the National Geomatics Center of China, Beijing, China. A systematic follow-up and review through indicators-based tracking and reporting of the progress towards 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs) through integration of statistical and geo-information is a challenging task and hot topic for both governmental agencies and scientific communities. This presentation will present a United Nation recognised good practice on #geospatial information-enabled SDGs monitoring, which demonstrates how the overall SDGs progress at a local context can be well measured through developing a set of indicator-based, data driven and evidence-supported approached with a #geographic perspective, and establishing a cooperative partnership among all stakeholders to mobilise resources. The follow-up and review results provided not only an overall picture about how far the study area is from the 2030 SDGs, but also helped the local government to formulate a five-year action plan to address the identified gaps and challenges with tangible actions and allocated resources. Although geo-spatial information played a critical and irreplaceable role, the current 2-2.5 D data used had demonstrated some limitations. More reliable data and automatic techniques remain to be developed. This presentation further presents China’s national program on the development of 3d Realistic Geospatial Landscape Model (3dRGLm), which is a new generation geospatial data product with 3D structures, realistic scenes, and geospatial entities.
