150th anniversary assembly of the International Association of Geodesy
IAG will celebrate its 150th anniversary with a Scientific Assembly in Potsdam, Germany, from 1-6 September 2013.
Latest Landsat successfully launched
The latest satellite in the Landsat series was launched into orbit last week.
Premium: Recession throws Galileo budget into doubt
An over-budget satellite navigation system that is years from full completion, largely a duplicate of an American system already widely used in Europe, and unlikely ever to generate much revenue, would seem to be in the budget cutters’ cross hairs.
NASA prepares for launch of next Landsat
NASA's Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) is scheduled to launch February 11 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. A joint NASA and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) mission, LDCM will add to the longest continuous data record of Earth's surface as viewed from space. LDCM is the eighth satellite in the Landsat series, […]
Astrium to develop two new satellites for NASA
Astrium has been commissioned to build two new research satellites for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). For a minimum of five years from August 2017, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (Grace FO) mission will continue the extremely accurate measurement data collection of the first twin Grace satellites, which have been in orbit since […]
NSW Excellence in Surveying and Spatial Information awards winners
The 2012 NSW Excellence in Surveying and Spatial Information Awards ceremony was held on 22nd September 2012, at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth. This is the fifteenth year that a joint committee of the Institution of Surveyors NSW and the Association of Consulting Surveyors NSW have organised awards to recognise the excellent achievements of […]
GPS signals used to study climate
Researchers at RMIT University will investigate using noise in GPS signals to determine how much water is in the atmosphere, leading to more accurate climate models and predictions. Dr Suelynn Choy from RMIT ’s School of Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences will use the Malcolm Moore scholarship to see if data from Geoscience Australia […]
Investigating the Allais Effect, Lunch Time Webinar
The records of the observations of severe weather events are being used to attempt to correlate the output of Ed Oberg’s lasoberg model with the location and timing of these events. WHEN: 2012-09-26 to 2012-09-26WHERE: OnlineSTATE: NationalCOUNTRY: INT This is SSSI NSW's 3rd webinar of the year and is presented by Ed Oberg who in […]
GPS technology improves weather forecasting
Researchers at RMIT University's SPACE Research Centre and the Bureau of Meteorology are using GPS and low earth orbit satellites to provide an additional type of temperature profile observation for use in weather forecasting computer models. The computer models draw on about a hundred thousand million current weather observations, including data from 30 […]
