  • This report details the results of the 2017 Australian GNSS CORS Position Verification Analysis that has led to the creation of certificates of verification of the reference standard of measurement for position in accordance with Regulation 13 of the National Measurement Regulations 1999, National Measurement Act 1960. Our analysis of the Asia Pacific Reference Frame (APREF) CORS stations located on the Australian Plate has been aligned to a set of extended 109 Australian Fiducial Network stations with recognized value standard for position in Australia with Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA2020) coordinates (refer to National Measurement Act 1960 - Recognized-value standard of measurement of position determination 2017 F2017L01352 https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2017L01352 ). GDA2020 coordinates and uncertainties are reported.

  • The AMSIS Distance To tool calculates the distance to a selected marine feature. The output is the distance to the nearest feature from the given location.

  • The Print Service provides PDF map prints via an online interface. This service prints detailed PDF maps, including scale bar and marginalia.

  • The Identify_Tool service includes the key set of infrastructure layers included in the LeastCostPath and ClipAndZip geoprocessing tools. The indentify query uses a dynamic tolerance and returns features including geometry as JSON.

  • The national measurement system in Australia ensures a basis for legally traceable, consistent and internationally recognised measurements. With the growing societal dependency on GPS, the need for the legal traceability of GPS positions with respect to the Australian Datum - the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94) -- has become increasingly apparent. In the interest of ensuring consistency of positions derived from private and government Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS),Geoscience Australia maintains an appointment as a legal metrology authority in accordance with the National Measurement Act 1960 and provides legally traceable positions. This presentation will overview Geoscience Australia's approach to the legal traceability of GPS positions, the process of legal certification including: (1) the basic requirements for requesting certification; (2) quality standards and the quality management system of the position verification processes. The structured maintenance and continual improvement program for the verifying laboratory will also be introduced.

  • The Criteria Assessment tool takes the input path or area created by the user and the input variables chosen to generate a heat map surface, KML surface, KMZ surface and PDF Report. This service is specifically for use within the Carbon Capture and Storage application.

  • Data collected from Geodetic GPS observation campaigns over the last 15 years. This data set is from non-continuous GPS sites. It is a combination of surveys undertaken by Geoscience Australia, State collaborators and international collaborators.

  • A series of short video clips describing how data positions us for the future, consisting of the following titles: How data positions us for the future: Bush fire response A short video showing how the national positioning infrastructure managed by Geoscience Australia underpins the work of hazard management professionals. How data positions us for the future: Precision agriculture A short video showing how the national positioning infrastructure managed by Geoscience Australia underpins the work of the agricultural industry. How data positions us for the future: Urban navigation A short video showing how the national positioning infrastructure managed by Geoscience Australia underpins the everyday life of Australians.

  • The annual Asia Pacific Regional Geodetic Project (APRGP) GPS campaign is an activity of the Geodetic Reference Frame Working Group (WG) of the Regional Committee of United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management for Asia and the Pacific (UN-GGIM-AP). This document describes the data analysis of the APRGP GPS campaign undertaken between the 16th and 22nd of September 2018. Campaign GPS data collected at 101 sites in ten countries across the Asia Pacific region were processed using version 5.2 of the Bernese GNSS Software in a regional network together with selected IGS (International GNSS Service) sites. The GPS solution was constrained to the ITRF2014 reference frame by adopting IGS14 coordinates on selected IGS reference sites and using the final IGS earth orientation parameters and satellite ephemerides products. The average of the root mean square repeatability of the station coordinates for the campaign was 1.8 mm, 1.6 mm and 5.4 mm in north, east and up components of station position respectively.
