Abstract

Australia has been involved in DRR activities in PNG for over three decades through the Rabaul Vulcanological Observatory (RVO) Twinning Program, which until September 2015 was funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). As part of the program for 2014 2015 a review of options for increasing the use of remote sensing was commissioned. So far the uptake in PNG of remote sensing for DRR purposes has been limited to several selected activities, including the RVO Twinning Program Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) monitoring, and ad hoc use of other data sources. This study focuses on what is required to lower the barriers to entry and further facilitate the uptake of remote sensing for DRR activities in PNG.
