The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Summary
Imaging, analysing and forecasting Australian hazards with satellites. This project aims to improve Australia’s ability to anticipate geophysical hazards. It will generate a new national capability in the use of satellite radar imagery to monitor and manage geohazards, benefiting all communities. By producing high-resolution maps of ground displacements, the project will assess the controls upon where and why these events occur, and whether they exhibit precursory behaviour. This is the first st ....Imaging, analysing and forecasting Australian hazards with satellites. This project aims to improve Australia’s ability to anticipate geophysical hazards. It will generate a new national capability in the use of satellite radar imagery to monitor and manage geohazards, benefiting all communities. By producing high-resolution maps of ground displacements, the project will assess the controls upon where and why these events occur, and whether they exhibit precursory behaviour. This is the first step towards accurate hazard forecasting and in building Australia's capability for near-real-time geophysical hazard monitoring on a national scale. The outputs will impact upon future recommendations for national earthquake and landslide monitoring and deliver new tools to underpin regulation of resource extraction and inform construction codes.Read moreRead less
Establishing the reference frame using astronomical and space-geodetic observations. Australia is increasingly dependent on spatial positioning and spatial data, yet mostly relies upon international agencies and research organisations to provide regular updates of coordinates and reference frame definition used on Earth. Improving the accuracy of the reference frame definition and our understanding of errors in the space-based measurements will provide new insights for studies of the Earth.

Australia is increasingly dependent on spatial positioning and spatial data, yet mostly relies upon international agencies and research organisations to provide regular updates of coordinates and reference frame definition used on Earth. Improving the accuracy of the reference frame definition and our understanding of errors in the space-based measurements will provide new insights for studies of the Earth. The research will yield results in studies of national significance, such as sea level rise, the effects of melting polar regions, and crustal deformation, as well as developing Australia's expertise in exploiting observations of the Earth from space.Read moreRead less
