<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>

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.

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 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.

This record contains the raw Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data and scanned field notes collected on fieldwork at Old Bar and Boomerang Beaches, NSW for the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC Project, Resilience to Clustered Disaster Events on the Coast - Storm Surge. The data was collected from 3 - 5 March 2015 using a MALA ProEx GPR system with 250 MHz shielded and 100 MHz unshielded antennaes. The aim of the field work was to identify and define a minimum thickness for the beach and dune systems, and where possible depth to any identifiable competent substrate (e.g. bedrock) or pre-Holocene surface which may influence the erosion potential of incident wave energy. Surface elevation data was co-acquired and used to topographically correct the GPR profiles.

This record contains the raw Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data and scanned field notes collected on fieldwork at Adelaide Metropolitan Beaches, South Australia for the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC Project, Resilience to Clustered Disaster Events on the Coast - Storm Surge. The data was collected from 16-19 February 2015 using a MALA ProEx GPR system with 250 MHz shielded, 100 MHz unshielded and 50 MHz unshielded antennaes. The aim of the field work was to identify and define a minimum thickness for the beach and dune systems, and where possible depth to any identifiable competent substrate (e.g. bedrock) or pre-Holocene surface which may influence the erosion potential of incident wave energy.
