Résumé

The Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) expects the skillsets of its multidisciplinary hydrographers to evolve as the field of hydrography undergoes a digital transformation. To characterize these changes, the CHS organized a virtual workshop titled Hydrographer of the Future, in which it heard the perspectives of international colleagues in other Hydrographic offices (HO’s), industry, and academia. Despite some variations, common themes emerged: the changing technological context, people and culture, and the future role of hydrography. The results of this workshop support the CHS’ own internal planning; however, the CHS also hopes to continue learning from its international partners and share its experiences through the International Hydrographic Organization’s (IHO) e-learning center.
