Canadian Hydrographic Conference
June 6–9, 2022
The Canadian Hydrographic Conference is a biennial conference hosted by the Canadian Hydrographic Association (CHA). It is a pivotal occasion to meet players and stakeholders in hydrography from North America and worldwide.
This year's event takes place June 6–9 in Gatineau Québec.
CHC2022, with its scientific program, informative vendor displays, and topical keynote speakers, will provide you with numerous learning opportunities.
During this four-day event, you will have the chance to discuss different issues related to hydrography. From dynamic objects to crowdsourcing, to ASVs to hydrospace, you will note the dynamic evolution leading to “A World Transformed.”
April 22 is Earth Day. The theme of this year's event is “Invest in Our Planet.”
Earth Day 2022 is focused on accelerating solutions to combat our greatest threat, climate change, and to activate everyone – governments, citizens, and businesses – to do their part. Everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable.
The Earth Day 2022 theme is focused on engaging the more than one billion people, governments, institutions, and businesses who participate in Earth Day to recognize our collective responsibility and to help accelerate the transition to an equitable, prosperous green economy for all.
The goal of EDO’s campaign is to push aside the barriers erected by the ancient, dirty fossil fuel economy and their co-conspirators – old technologies of centuries past – and redirect attention to creating a 21st century economy that brings back the health of our planet, protects our species, and provides opportunities for all.
EARTHDAY.ORG’s campaign is focused on reframing the conversation, accelerating action, and bringing us together to understand that this is within our reach if we work together.
