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.

This collection includes Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations from long-term continuous or semi continuous reference stations at multiple locations across Australia and its external territories, including the Australian Antarctic Territory. <b>Value:</b> The datasets within this collection are provided on an openly accessible basis to support a myriad of scientific and societal positioning applications in Australia. These include the development and maintenance of the Australian Geospatial Reference System (AGRS); the densification of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF); crustal deformation studies; atmospheric studies; and the delivery of precise positioning services to Australian businesses. <b>Scope: </b> Data from reference stations across Australia and its external territories, including the Australian Antarctica Territory. <b>Access: </b> To access the datasets and query station information visit the <a href="https://gnss.ga.gov.au./">Global Navigation Satellite System Data Centre</a>

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 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 the Australian Regional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network, AuScope network and other GNSS observatories located around the world over the last 15 years.

Since its launch in 2001, Geoscience Australia's online positioning service (AUSPOS) has continued to be a widely used tool for the online processing of geodetic GPS data for surveying, mapping, geodetic, geophysical, hydrographical, military and other applications. On 20 March 2011, Geoscience Australia released an updated version of the service, AUSPOS2. This update implements recent advances in analysis software and strategies, the reference frame ITRF2008, AusGeoid09 and the latest transformation parameters between ITRF2008 and GDA94. AUSPOS2 now delivers ITRF2008 coordinates with an uncertainty less than 10 millimetres to users within 3-5 minutes while continuing to provide Australian users access to GDA94 coordinates and derived AHD heights to the highest achievable accuracy. This talk will overview the AUSPOS2 system and how users can best exploit this free service.

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.

<div>The Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) requested Geoscience Australia to compute International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) coordinates for 18 survey sites on islands in the northern Fiji archipelago from continuous geodetic GPS measurements observed from 8th July to 5th August 2008 inclusive. The GPS data was processed using version 5.0 of the Bernese GPS Software in a regional network together with selected IGS sites. The GPS solution was constrained to the ITRF2005 reference frame through adopting IGS05 coordinates on selected IGS reference sites and using the final IGS earth orientation parameters and satellite ephemerides products.</div><div>These coordinates provide the coordinate reference frame to be used to define Fiji’s claim to extended continental shelf under the provisions of Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.</div><div><br></div>

The Clip and Zip tool takes an input polygon extent as WKT input and clips required featureclasses listed. The data is referenced from its own database with all layers projected to 4326 spatial reference. The output is a zipped file geodatabase with a copyright text file included.
