How Satellite based Earth Observation Supports Emergency Response Teams
Posted onNatural disasters are an increasingly familiar reality, yet their unpredictability remains a core challenge. This is why preparedness is our best means of mitigating impact when disaster does occur. Satellite technology plays a critical role in enabling this readiness, but why? To understand this, you need only consider the sheer scale and diversity of Australia’s landscapes, waters and ecosystems. The continent spans 7.7 million square kilometres and, relative to its total area, has a low population density. This…United Nations, Google Cloud and NGIS Team Up to Bring AI-Powered Planning to Communities in Crisis
Posted onThe United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM), in partnership with Google Cloud and NGIS are advancing data-driven humanitarian planning through the use of AI and Geospatial powered tools, helping humanitarian organisations to analyse the most vulnerable locations across multiple areas and proactively plan for disaster response, climate driven displacement, and long term community recovery. At the centre of the initiative is the…Celebrating Women in GIS: More than Maps
Posted onFrom tracking deforestation to building geospatial tools from the ground up, the women at NGIS are driving impactful real-world outcomes. This International Women’s Day, we spoke to three women across our Earth Observation, software engineering and spatial analysis solutions, to find out what first attracted them to GIS, what keeps them here, and what they’d tell their younger selves starting out.NGIS joins global space-based solutions provider CLS
Posted onMedia Release | 27th January 2026 NGIS is excited to announce that the company will now be part of CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellites), a global leader in monitoring and surveillance solutions for our Earth. The acquisition marks a significant milestone for the Australian geospatial sector, bringing together NGIS’ world-class geospatial expertise with CLS Group’s expansive reach and innovative capabilities in space-based solutions. Beyond technology and commercial…The view from the Cuipo Tree: Rethinking Biodiversity Beyond Protected Areas
Posted onBiodiversity Biodiversity is often discussed in abstract terms, percentages protected, species at risk, and hectares conserved. Ecological networks operated at vast and local spatial scales. It lives at the intersection of forests and farms, rivers and roads, protected areas and working landscapes. Geospatial intelligence allows us to see these intersections clearly: to understand where species…The Future of Geospatial: Key Trends for 2026
Posted onThe geospatial sector has evolved and rapidly grown over the past decade, and in 2026, its role within organisations is more critical than ever. What was once primarily used for mapping and visualisation has become a powerful intelligence tool, connecting data, places, and decision-making across industries. As organisations face increasing pressure to operate sustainably, manage…
