  • The annual Asia Pacific Regional Geodetic Project (APRGP) GPS campaign is an important activity of the Geodetic Reference Frame for Sustainable Development Working Group (WG) of the Regional Committee of United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management for Asia and the Pacific (UN-GGIM-AP). This document overviews the data analysis of the APRGP GPS campaign undertaken in 2013. The GPS data were processed using version 5.0 of the Bernese GPS Software in a regional network together with selected IGS (International GNSS Service) sites. The GPS solution was constrained to the ITRF2008 reference frame through adopting IGb08 coordinates on selected IGS reference sites and using the final IGS earth orientation parameters and satellite ephemerides products.

  • The integrity and strength of multi-technique terrestrial reference frames, such as realisations of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), depend on the precisely measured and expressed local-tie connections between space geodetic observing systems at co-located observatories. Australia has several observatories which together host the full variety of space geodetic observation techniques, including Global Navigation Satellites Systems (GNSS), Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) and Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite (DORIS) beacons. This report documents the technical aspects of the survey undertaken to determine the local-tie connections at the Katherine VLBI Observatory. The Observatory is located at the Charles Darwin University campus near Katherine in the Northern Territory. The Observatory has a 12 m radio telescope that is used for VLBI, co-located with two permanent GNSS sites, one of which contributes to the International GNSS Service (IGS) network. The survey was conducted in July 2010 by surveyors from Geoscience Australia. Precision classical geodetic observations were combined with geodetic GNSS observations to determine for the first time the relationship between the VLBI system invariant point (IVP) and the conventional reference points of the GNSS antennas and the surrounding survey control. The results of this survey have been provided to the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) for inclusion in the next realisation of the ITRF.

  • This Record describes techniques which can be used to predict surface deformation caused by natural or anthropogenic subsurface fluid changes. Using predictive (forward) models, simulations have been developed to estimate the range of surface deformation caused by the Coal Seam Gas (CSG) extraction operations in the Surat Basin. The objectives of this research were to: - Develop a predictive model that enables Geoscience Australia to estimate the magnitude and areal extent of surface deformation caused by natural or anthropogenic fluid activities. - Report the capability, accuracy and limitations of the predictive model. - Apply the predictive model to Coal Seam Gas operations in the Surat Basin, Queensland. - Describe the monitoring techniques capable of measuring subsurface fluid changes - Discuss how geodetic data can be used to constrain the poroelastic properties of reservoirs.

  • A metadata report for the atmospheric monitoring station installed in Arcturus, south of Emerald in central Queensland. The station was installed for baseline atmospheric monitoring to contribute to emission modelling spanning 2010-2014. The station included compositional gas analysers, supporting meteorological sensors and an eddy covariance flux tower. The metadata covered in the report include: the major variables measured by each instrument, the data duration and frequency, data accuracy, calibration and corrections, the location the data is stored, and the primary contact for the data.
