Elizabeth Cannon, University of Calgary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday November 5, 1998<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are currently millions of users of the satellite-based Global Positioning System (GPS) and the global market for GPS devices is expected to exceed $30 billion by 2005. To help capture more of these opportunities for Canada, the federal government has just launched a
\nnew Network of Centres of Excellence in Geomatics. Dr. Elizabeth Cannon will tell us how GPS works and how it is revolutionizing a wide range of human activities from farming and forestry to aircraft and ship navigation. Elizabeth Cannon is recognized worldwide for her GPS research and technology transfer activities. This year she was picked as one of the Financial Post’s \u00ab\u00a0Top 40 Under 40.\u00a0\u00bb In 1995, she earned the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers’ Young Engineer Achievement Award Elizabeth also holds the NSERC\/Petro-Canada Chair for Women in Science and Engineering (Prairie Region).<\/p>\n

Le syst\u00e8me de positionnement global par satellite (GPS) dessert \u00e0 l’heure actuelle des millions d’utilisateurs. On s’attend \u00e0 ce que le march\u00e9 mondial de tels \u00e9quipements d\u00e9passe les 30 milliards $ d’ici l’an 2005. De plus, le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral vient d’\u00e9tablir un nouveau r\u00e9seau de centres d’excellence en g\u00e9omatique, le r\u00e9seau G\u00c9O\u00cfDE, qui permettra au Canada de se tailler des niches sur ce march\u00e9. La professeure Elizabeth Cannon nous montrera en quoi consiste le syst\u00e8me GPS et comment il est en train de r\u00e9volutionner bien des branches de nos activit\u00e9s : de l’agriculture \u00e0 la foresterie en passant par la navigation a\u00e9rienne et spatiale. Mondialement connue pour ses recherches sur le GPS et ses activit\u00e9s en mati\u00e8re de transfert technologique, elle fait partie des 40 personnalit\u00e9s de moins de 40 ans choisies par le Financial Post. En 1995, le Conseil canadien des ing\u00e9nieurs lui d\u00e9cernait sa Distinction pour r\u00e9alisations exceptionnelles par une jeune ing\u00e9nieure. Mme Cannon est \u00e9galement titulaire de la Chaire des femmes en sciences et en g\u00e9nie du CRSNG-Petro Canada pour la r\u00e9gion des
\nPrairies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"dr-elizabeth-cannon-bringing-space-down-to-earth-les-satellites-reviennent-sur-terre","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"1998-11-05 07:15:00","start_date_details":{"year":"1998","month":"11","day":"05","hour":"07","minutes":"15","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"1998-11-05 08:15:00","end_date_details":{"year":"1998","month":"11","day":"05","hour":"08","minutes":"15","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"1998-11-05 12:15:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"1998","month":"11","day":"05","hour":"12","minutes":"15","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"1998-11-05 13:15:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"1998","month":"11","day":"05","hour":"13","minutes":"15","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Toronto","timezone_abbr":"EST","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[{"id":2226,"author":"2","status":"publish","date":"2020-09-24 11:04:19","date_utc":"2020-09-24 15:04:19","modified":"2020-09-30 15:07:02","modified_utc":"2020-09-30 19:07:02","url":"https:\/\/pagse.org\/organisateur\/the-partnership-group-for-science-and-engineering\/","organizer":"The Partnership Group for Science and Engineering\/Le Partenariat en faveur des sciences et de la technologie","slug":"the-partnership-group-for-science-and-engineering","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"The Partnership Group for Science and Engineering\/Le Partenariat en faveur des sciences et de la technologie","description":"","url":"","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":""},"global_id":"pagse.org\/fr\/?id=2226","global_id_lineage":["pagse.org\/fr\/?id=2226"]}],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Dr. Elizabeth Cannon: Bringing Space Down to Earth | Les satellites reviennent sur Terre","description":"<p>Elizabeth Cannon, University of Calgary Thursday November 5, 1998 There are currently millions of users of the satellite-based Global Positioning System (GPS) and the global market for GPS devices is […]<\/p>\\n","url":"https:\/\/pagse.org\/fr\/event\/dr-elizabeth-cannon-bringing-space-down-to-earth-les-satellites-reviennent-sur-terre\/","eventAttendanceMode":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OfflineEventAttendanceMode","eventStatus":"https:\/\/schema.org\/EventScheduled","startDate":"1998-11-05T07:15:00-05:00","endDate":"1998-11-05T08:15:00-05:00","organizer":{"@type":"Person","name":"The Partnership Group for Science and Engineering\/Le Partenariat en faveur des sciences et de la technologie","description":"","url":"","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":""},"performer":"Organization"}}
