This application allows the user to see a `real-time' representation of the Earth from a satellite that is currently orbiting our planet. The satellite database that provides the positioning information is updated regularly, but may not reflect the current position of satellites that manoeuvre frequently after reaching orbit.

The Australian Fiducial Network (AFN) consists of eight permanent, continuously operating, Geodetic GPS receivers on the Australian mainland and Tasmania. The network was initially observed during the International GPS Service for Geodynamics (IGS) Epoch '92 campaign, July-August, 1992. The AFN, in conjunction with additional sites beyond the Australian mainland, forms the Australian Regional GPS Network (ARGN).

Redfearn's Formula, Grid to Geographic Given Easting, Northing and Zone for a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection, calculate Latitude, Longitude, Grid convergence and Point Scale Factor.

Australian Regional GPS Network Updates Periodically, changes are made to the ARGN site's equipment or processes, to continually improve the system, to implement new technology, or to overcome problems. Where appropriate, these changes are reflected in the site logs. Also, while every endeavour is made to avoid them, occasionally there are delays or gaps in the data supply, due to circumstances beyond our control (such as floods, fires, mice plagues, lightning strikes and other minor incidents). When any significant events of this type occur, an Email is sent to everyone on the ARGN mailing list, giving the current status. If you wish to be notified of these events, please fill in the form below.

As the Cocky Flies will calculate the distance between two places in Australia. This query searches the Gazetteer of Australia 2008 Release, which is a compilation of over 310 000 geographic names in Australia provided by members of the Committee for Geographic Names in Australasia.

AUSPOS provides users with the facility to submit dual frequency geodetic quality GPS RINEX data observed in a 'static' mode, to our GPS processing system and receive rapid turn-around Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA) and International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) coordinates.

Interactive application of Geoscience Australia's Australia through time poster, which gives a brief overview of Australia's geological history, featuring the geological timescale and paleogeograpgy of the continents.

The Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS), also known as Daichi, is a Japanese satellite launched on 24 January 2006. The satellite provides high quality, low cost Earth observation data for topographical mapping, disaster and environmental monitoring and climate change studies. ALOS also provides an alternative source of data and a level of back-up to the Landsat series of satellites.

Following a Government decision in 1984, Geoscience Australia actively engages in nuclear monitoring activities on behalf of the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's Australian Safeguards and Non-proliferation Office. Geoscience Australia helps Australia fulfil its obligations under the CTBT by monitoring for nuclear explosions worldwide and by contributing to the development of the CTBT verification regime. Geoscience Australia is currently responsible for the operation and maintenance of 10 of Australia's seismo-acoustic IMS facilities (six seismic stations, three infrasound stations and one hydroacoustic station). Additionally, Geoscience Australia is in the process of building the final infrasound station to complete Australia's seismo-acoustic IMS network. Construction of this station is expected to be completed within the next two years. Geoscience Australia actively participates in international fora dedicated to technological advances supporting nuclear non-proliferation and verification, and to the use of IMS data for civil and scientific applications. The latter include tsunami-warning and the monitoring of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
