🌟Highlights from GGE members participating in the XXV ISPRS Congress and the 47th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing.
Our graduate students presented their research, attended student paper sessions, volunteered at conference booths, and connected with researchers from around the world. The conference also provided a valuable opportunity to reconnect with former graduate students who are now professors and researchers at universities around the world.
It was wonderful to meet our alumni including Professor Bing Lu from Simon Fraser University, Professor Scott Mitchell from Carleton University, and Professor Cameron Proctor from the University of Windsor, along with their students and many other members of our wider community.
The department is especially pleased to celebrate two awards received during the conference. PhD student Haoxuan (Peter) Ge received 2nd Place in the CRSS-SCT 2026 Best Student Oral Presentation Competition for his presentation, co-authored with Professor Yuhong He.
We also congratulate Dr. Mitchell Bonney, who graduated from our PhD program in 2022 under the supervision of Professor Yuhong He, on receiving the Second Best Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing Paper Award. The award recognizes research from his PhD examining nearly 50 years of tree canopy change in southern Ontario.
We were pleased to have supported graduate student participation in this event through the GGE Graduate Expansion Fund (GEF), helping students present their research, build professional connections, and engage with international research communities.
A huge shout-out to Professor Yuhong He, who served as one of the local organizers and contributed to hosting such a successful conference. It was a wonderful week of research exchange, service, learning, and renewed connections across the remote sensing community. 🎉
