GRISS – Geospatial Research Institute Seminar Series

The Geospatial Research Institute Seminar Series (GRISS) is a monthly seminar series with guest presentations detailing the use of geospatial technologies in various industries and sectors.
We host these presentations each month on the University of Canterbury campus.
Anyone interested in attending may come in person or view the presentations online via Zoom

For seminars that our presenters have allowed us to record, we have recordings available. These can be found on the Geospatial Research Institute YouTube channel. The link can be found to the side.
