    Agenda

    Times are subject to change.

    10:00 Registration and Hospitality
     10:30   welcome
    10:40 - 11:20 William Mosely

    "Satellite imagery and wildfire response: The Palisades Fire"

    Planet Labs PBC operates flocks of microsatellites providing a hi-resolution snapshot of the earth every day, and even higher-resolution satellites that capture images on demand.

    Customer Success Manager William Mosely will detail how Microsoft AI for Good and Planet partnered to measure the impact of the devastating nearby Palisades fire this past January.

     11:25 - 12:05

    Cal Tabuena-Frolli

    "Yield 02"

    Artist Cal Tabuena-Frolli is following a stint with the Santa Paula Oil Museum with a series of maps and related pieces detailing the history of oil in California, from pre-historic times through 1929. That's when most of us think California oil history begins.


     12:10 - 12:50 Ed LeFranco

     "The Best of Beijing"

    Journalist and sinophile Ed LeFranco will share the various ways the capital of China has been cartographically portrayed throughout the 20th century.

    12:50 - 1:30
    break
    1:30 - 2:10 Jon Jablonski "Resurrecting Landscapes with Machine Vision"

    Librarian Jon Jablonski is leveraging collections of aerial photography at UC Santa Barbara and UCLA to build 3-d models of 1930s Yosemite Valley, the Gaviota Coast, and more! By using Agisoft Metashape, the overlapping stereo photographs reveal long-forgotten vistas and have the potential to help find forgotten abandoned oil wells. 
    2:15 - 2:50 Deborah Scacco

    Santa Monica's first artist-in-residence at City Yards, Deborah Scacco will highlight how maps, cartography, and the landscape interact in her work as artist and curator. 

    bonus: Deborah's exhibition "Laboratory for the Future" at Propeller Gallery is open through January 2026!
