GIS Conference 2008

Since the first Pacific GIS&RS Conference in 1999, this annual event has attracted a lot of participants from as far as America to the sunny islands most of us call home.

Each year the range of GIS&RS technologies presented cover a range of applications including management of resouces of small Island Pacific nations.

Shallow water bathymetry derived from satellite imagery, forest function maps to identify areas for potential logging, and areas identified for development in flood zones are some of the applications where the development of GIS&RS in the region have been applied in various sectors.

As with previous conferences, there are no fees levied for those wishing to attend. Donations however are graciously accepted.
