Surveying in extremely extreme conditions – Dead Sea evaporation ponds
No full textMulti beam echo sounder survey systems have many advantages in surveying inshore and offshore areas, lakes and other water bodies, particularly for navigation and engineering purposes. This article describes a project to determine feasibility of using these systems in a very extreme environment. Hypersaline, high temperature Dead Sea evaporation ponds with very shallow depths were surveyed, along with a portion of a feeder canal with an artificial bottom. Results showed that while some aspects of multi beam hydrographic surveying are impossible to achieve or insignificant, with caution and paying particular attention to certain aspects, it is possible to obtain excellent results. The use of multi beam systems in these shallow ponds is clearly advantageous compared to single beam or real-time kinematic GNSS land surveying

Intentional, bold leadership for a modern, gender-balanced hydrospatial workforce
Full text linkThis Note joins the conversation of the IHO Empowering Women in Hydrography and Women in the Hydrospatial domain (Hains et al., 2022) in a broader sense, elevating key points and commonalities with the goal of contributing value by taking the position that the pursuit of Gender Balance is a Leadership issue – not a “Women” issue – that must be addressed to succeed as a 21st Century organization. Successful gender-balanced efforts are underway in the global Hydrospatial community, and these models can be leveraged as a communal map for progress in this realm. Lastly, this note offers a simple synthesis of expert perspectives on necessary leadership steps and strategies for achieving business or professional goals with a gender-balanced team
FIG Commission 4 Work Plan 2023–2026: Targeting the next challenges in the hydrospatial domain
Full text linkThe evolution of hydrographic science and technology is continually shaped by emerging trends and challenges, influencing our comprehension and governance of marine environments. Commission 4 (Hydrography) of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) is charged with anticipating the impact of these developments on hydrospatial professionals and addressing emerging issues in its forthcoming four-year work plan. This necessitates staying informed about the latest advancements and navigating the interplay of factors within the hydrospatial domain. Commission 4 also aims to engage with the hydrospatial community to gain insights into the effects of current trends on global hydrospatial work at various levels. Establishing collaborations with key organisations, including the International Hydrographic Organization, professional bodies, standards bodies, global taskforces, and other FIG commissions and networks, is integral to ensuring the hydrospatial community can deliver the highest level of professional output for global hydrospatial information users. This article seeks to enhance community awareness and understanding of the roles played by FIG Commission 4 and its associated working groups. It provides an update on the changes and goals outlined in the FIG Commission 4 work plan for the term 2023–2026, introduces the term "hydrospatial" in lieu of "geospatial" for ocean and related domains, and introduces a new working group (WG 4.5) focused on addressing the impacts of climate change

Full text linkThe Role of Sport in Supporting Newcomer Youth Identity Negotiation
Full text linkIdentity is a central component of the human experience. Religion, occupation, life style and leisure have been identified as examples of anchors which individuals have built their identities around (Riley, 2008). This concept of anchoring could prove especially difficult for youth whose families are forced to migrate for various reasons because “migration leads to significant life changes” (Chuang et. al, 2011, p. 149). For youth who are still exploring and learning about the world and themselves, this drastic change may challenge their concept of identity. Further, youth who migrate to foreign countries also face the double-bind of being both a newcomer and youth (Selimos & Daniel, 2017). Newcomer youth especially struggle with identity because their identities at home and away from home often juxtapose with each other (Compton-Lilly et al., 2017; Kiramba & Oloo, 2020; 2023; Phelps & Nadim, 2010). These juxtaposing identities force newcomer youth into a position wherein they constantly negotiate their identity. Swann (1987) explained that identity negotiation begins with an individual’s concepts of self changing from previous perceptions to updated ones, or as he put it, “a major reorganization in the way [individuals] view themselves” (p. 1044). With the many changes that occur in the lives of migrant youth, they undoubtedly reorganize the way in which they view themselves as result of the many changes to their environment.
Currently, academia examines the role of sport in benefiting the lives of newcomers, and specifically newcomer youth. Much of this literature focuses on the sense of inclusivity and belonging that sport brings to the lives of these newcomers (Doherty & Taylor, 2007; Kramers et al., 2021; Omidvar & Richmond, 2003; Selimos & Daniel, 2017). There is a dearth of literature that explores the benefit of sport to the identity negotiation of newcomer youth. This paper seeks to explore the way in which sport, specifically soccer, supports newcomer youth through the process of identity negotiation by being an anchor in their lives.
This paper came out of a corollary finding of my master’s thesis which looked to build understanding about newcomer youth leadership development through sport. While newcomer youth participants noted many changes to their lives as a result of migration, all of them mentioned soccer as a constant. Soccer served as the anchor by which they could authentically be themselves within their countries of origin, while in refuge and here in Canada
