From Satellite to Seed: Where AI Agents Fit in a Flood Project

Satellites can show where floods hit farmland, but every step from picture to map adds a bit of guesswork. Kayode shows how his team checked that guesswork in a rice-farming town, where the AI helper got things wrong, and why picking which farmers got flood-tolerant rice seed was still a job for people.

Using OpenStreetMap to Model the UK Energy Grid

Can simulations of complex societal problems help us better understand them, have better discussions between us and make better decisions? The National Energy Explorer simulation aims to test that and it needed to have the UK electrical grid modelled in it. I'll show how you can use OpenStreetMap data and new open source tools from PyPSA to build the UK electricity grid. And then we'll play with it in a serious game and see if it might support us understand what national plans actually add up.

Photorealistic 3D for the geospatial industry

First there were point clouds, now it's 3D gaussian splatting that took the world by storm. Having access to a visually pleasing 3D representation changes the way surveyors and geospatial professionals work on a day-to-day basis.

What is “Geospatial”?

Geospatial refers to anything related to location and geography—maps, satellite imagery, GPS, spatial analysis, and the technology behind it all. If it has coordinates, it’s geospatial.

Think Google Maps, urban planning, climate modelling, drone surveys, OpenStreetMap, routing algorithms, or even tracking your morning run. It’s a broad field that touches almost every industry.

Who Should Attend?

This meetup is for everyone—you don’t need to be an expert. If any of these describe you, you belong here:

  • Anyone curious about maps, data, and how location shapes our world
  • Students exploring geospatial as a career path
  • GIS analysts, cartographers, and remote sensing specialists
  • Developers building with spatial data, mapping libraries, or location APIs
  • Urban planners, environmental scientists, and researchers
  • Open source contributors (OSM, QGIS, PostGIS, GeoServer, etc.)
