The CRC Spatial Information Australia is aiming to deliver research to support the creation of a fully functional spatial marketplace. The marketplace will facilitate discovery and access to a broad range of spatial information products and services from a variety of sources (from government owned to volunteered geographic information). The marketplace will also […]

Expanded WASSIC brings in the crowds
The Western Australian Surveying and Spatial Information Conference, which has just concluded in Perth, has seen the biggest ever attendance in its 14-year history and, for the first time ever, featured two streams. Organised by SSSIWA, the conference featured a much wider range of topics and networking opportunities than in previous years, and […]
McMullen Nolan Mobile Laser Scanning – Increasing Road Safety
Increasing Road Safety Through Zero Traffic Impact. A key benefit of using Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) for road and rail corridor surveys is the significantly increased safety of the system compared to conventional surveying techniques A key component in the planning and execution of conventional surveys along road and rail corridors is traffic management planning. […]
Water researchers to get improved modelling tools
The National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training (NCGRT) has secured access to international water research organisation DHI’s state-of-the-art modelling and research tools for groundwater and integrated catchment hydrology. Modelling the complex interaction between groundwater and surface water requires advanced technology and is vital to projects such as the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. In Australia […]

Air Traffic Control Moves to GNSS
About ten years ago it became clear that in many parts of the world airspace was approaching saturation point. Air transportation was plagued by delays, and safety had begun to be compromised. The existing outmoded groundbased radar systems, already stretched to the limit, were hardly able to cope. In the US, there are around 50,000 […]
Laser Scanning for Mine Safety
SIMON ARTHUR and DAVID ELDRIDGE In an effort to enhance mine safety, the management of Beaconsfield gold mine, at Beaconsfield in north eastern Tasmania, has purchased a new laser scanning system. It can rapidly scan the underground workings. What’s more, it is remote-controlled, so the operators are never exposed to danger. Historically, Beaconsfield’s mine surveying […]
Earthquake Prediction After Sichuan
PAUL GRAD A massive earthquake hit China’s Sichuan Province on 12 May. As aftershocks and landslides threatened further loss of life and property damage, a team from the University of New South Wales joined several other organisations to provide detailed satellite images of the affected area. The earth tremor was of magnitude 8.0 on the […]
