Webinar: Smart technology uses in sustainable development
IISD will host a webinar for the Canadian Sustainability Indicators Network (CSIN) on January 22 at 11:30am CST/ 12:30pm EST where we will explore the topic of smart technology uses in sustainable development
How is smart technology helping us manage our most precious resource?
IISD will host a webinar for the Canadian Sustainability Indicators Network (CSIN) on January 22 at 11:30am CST/ 12:30pm EST where we will explore the topic of smart technology uses in sustainable development. The next stage of the digital revolution is diffusing across society, bringing together new sources of data with advanced ways of visualization and analysis. This webinar examines how these technologies are changing water management systems and how communities can manage the deluge of data.
Geoffrey Gunn from IISD Experimental Lakes Area will provide an overview of new technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence and how water managers around the world are harnessing the flow of data to make better decisions.
Emma Wattie from the Atlantic Water Network who will tell us about the new Atlantic Datastream, and how digital infrastructure and citizen scientists work together to build a regional water quality hub.

L’IISD accueillera le premier webinaire aura lieu le 22 Janvier à 11 h 30 (heure du Centre) et portera sur le thème de l'utilisation des technologies intelligentes dans le développement durable.
La prochaine étape de la révolution numérique se diffuse dans la société en réunissant de nouvelles sources de données et des méthodes avancées de visualisation et d’analyse. Ce premier webinaire du RCID examinera comment ces technologies modifient les systèmes de gestion de l'eau douce et comment les communautés peuvent gérer le déluge de données.
D’abord, Geoffrey Gunn, du Région des lacs expérimentaux, nous donnera un aperçu des nouvelles technologies telles que la blockchain et l’intelligence artificielle, et explique comment les gestionnaires de l’eau du monde entier exploitent le flux de données pour prendre de meilleures décisions.
Nous entendrons ensuite Emma Wattie, du Réseau atlantique d’eau, qui nous parlera du nouveau Flux de données atlantique et de la manière dont l’infrastructure numérique et les « citoyens scientifiques » collaborent pour créer un centre régional de la qualité de l’eau.
Cette présentation se déroulera en anglais. Tout de même, si vous souhaitez du matériel en français et une traduction de la partie de la présentation consacrée aux questions, veuillez nous en informer; nous sommes heureux d'accueillir.
