OzHub, the Macquarie Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddite state."
Curtin University of Technology is heading up a new $8 million space technology partnership that will address the issue of climate change with the use of its Global Navigation Satellite System Research Laboratory.
The lead scientist in this new endeavour is Dr. Peter Teunissen, who heads up Curtin University’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Research Laboratory.
Along with the Curtin University of Technology, whose main campus is in Perth, Western Australia, the $8-million project also includes RMIT University, the University of New South Wales, the Bureau of Meteorology, Electro Optic Systems Space System, GPSat Systems Australia Pty Ltd., National Space Organisation Taiwan, and NOAA’s World Data Centre (WDC) for Metrology.
According to the Curtin University media release (C056/10), dated March 16, 2010, entitled “Satellite technology to monitor climate change,” the funding for the program is coming from the Australian Government through the Australian Space Research Program (ASRP).
Dr. Teunissen, who is a professor within the Department of Spatial Sciences (West Australian School of Mines), is leading this three-year project to develop the next generation global navigation satellite system (GNSS) through the development and use of new methods and algorithms.
Such advanced GNSS technology will include the ability to model atmospheric and climate conditions and to track operational satellites and inoperable human-made objects (commonly called “space junk”).
Teunisssen states in the Curtin article “The new space technology program in which we will be involved is a vital step towards improving our understanding of climate change in Australia and will play a critical role in the way we cope with changes to our environment.”
