The National Intelligence Estimate on Climate Change released by the National Security Council in October of 2021 lists eight separate climate change effects, each of which portends impacts on food security: heat, heavy precipitation and flooding, drought, sea level rise, arctic ice melt, tropical cyclones, coral reefs, and biodiversity. As populations experience stressors over the production and consumption of food, the potential for mass hum...

No longer dismissed as “an environmental anomaly,” but now broadly recognized as a threat multiplier and a catalyst for instability and conflict, climate change can lead to crisis, requiring urgent and well-informed collaborative action. Regardless of the rhetoric, climate change presents challenges but also opportunities for the Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) community which can play a critical role in future efforts to address...

Join USGIF for its annual GEOINTegration Summit (now virtual), a multi-day event focused on professional self-discovery and personal branding, with new geospatial opportunities for collaborations. While innovation has always been at the heart of geospatial intelligence, technological evolution and disruptive events bring numerous challenges, but also unprecedented opportunities to transform the productivity, capacity, and capability of the geo...

This panel will focus on GEOINT dissemination and collaboration as it relates to operational challenges. Panel members will discuss the challenges of delivering and receiving actionable intelligence from platforms to tactical operators. Dissemination focuses on the sending of imagery and we are in an age where sensors are everywhere (at the tactical level and strategic level) and the need for access is much more synchronous. This group will ex...

Today’s geospatial professionals are increasingly called upon to deliver content in the form of interactive web apps. This can be challenging with traditional architectures, both because of the inflexibility of conventional template-based approaches, and due to major performance issues when delivering large geotemporal data across the web. OmniSci is a GPU database with built-in high performance geographic rendering (capable of handling...

Please join members of the GEOINT community to discuss the GeoFuture of the St. Louis region. Members of the GeoFutures Initiative team, along with esteemed community colleagues, will discuss how the strategic plan was derived, the findings, and the next steps. We look forward to engaging with you on this topic that spans the entirety of the global GEOINT community.

Produced in partnership with Analyst One, this one-day event provides a forum for sharing lessons learned between and among thought leaders from various industry sectors in need of best-of-breed capabilities to enhance analytic outcomes. If you offer capabilities to improve data collection, processing, visualization, correlation and analysis or training/integration of these critical functions, join us as we facilitate direct cross sector colla...

The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) and the Advanced Technical Intelligence Association (ATIA) are organizing the 2014 ABI Forum: ABI in Practice and the Challenges Ahead. This SI/TK FVEY classified event is open to industry, government, academia, and FVEYpartners. The discussion will focus on the concerns, challenges and opportunities associated with the day-in and day-out use of Activity-Based Intelligence across the...

This workshop will differ from past IC ITE events by exploring the mission implications and benefits that IC ITE will bring to the Community. We will dive into the original scope of IC ITE, hear from those implementing and fielding the capabilities, and learn more about the strategy that is making IC ITE a reality.
