The UK’s geospatial membership organisation; leading, connecting and developing a community of members who use and benefit from geographic information. The AGI exists to represent the interests of the UK's GI industry; a wide-ranging group of public and private sector organisations, suppliers of GI software, hardware, data and services, consultants, academics and interested individuals. The AGI, by way of its unique membership forum, brings together the previously disparate GI community to share ideas on best practice, experience and innovation, and offers access to unparalleled networking opportunities with significant business benefits. As such it acts for the promotion and benefit of the community as a whole. Since its formal inception in 1989, it has built up a significant membership base and established itself as the respected voice in GI.

Joint geospatial webinar 05th Nov 12.00 RICS FIG ICE Uni of Newcastle Dear colleagues A heads up on this open access joint geospatial webinar focused on sector endorsed (RICS, TSA, CICES) RICS standards especially the 2023 GNSS 3rd ed professional best practice standard. Do distribute to interested colleagues. https://lnkd.in/eHn7nztX Speaker: Dr Chris Pearson Join us for a comprehensive webinar on the latest RICS global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) guidance for land surveying Use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in land surveying and mapping, 3rd edition (rics.org). Since the late 1980s, GNSS has revolutionised surveying, becoming more compact and technologically advanced, with multiple satellite constellations enhancing its capabilities. Today, GNSS is widely used for various tasks, including establishing control, setting out, and deformation monitoring. The new edition of the RICS GNSS guidance notes offers updated, practical operational guidelines designed for a global audience of surveyors and clients. It covers cutting-edge topics like multi-GNSS constellations, precise point positioning (PPP), and Snake map projections. The guidance also includes crucial information on traditional survey techniques, coordinate reference systems, survey errors, map projections, and quality control. Precision reference tables provide potential accuracies for different processing techniques, baseline lengths, and occupation times. In this webinar, we’ll break down the key points from the guidance and show how to apply them effectively when planning GNSS surveys. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay updated with the latest in GNSS surveying practices. Regards James

A valuable data resource
New topsoil geochemistry data released by BGS provides the most extensive snapshot of environmental pollution effects around the UK. Over four decades, several hundred scientists collected around 58 000 topsoil samples from rural and urban areas across the country to create the most in-depth and exhaustive map of its kind available globally. The data revealed that several elements, including antimony, arsenic, cadmium, calcium, copper, lead, tin and zinc, are present in soils of many of the UK’s urban areas as a result of environmental pollution. The ability to pinpoint the distribution of 41 different chemical elements and identify areas where human activities have affected soil geochemistry gives us invaluable insights and forms a key baseline for researchers from a wide range of disciplines. The data is available for all to view and download for free on the UK Soil Observatory (UKSO) web portal. For more information, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eX_RNE7S
