In this webinar, you'll hear a little bit of physical geodesy, where N comes from, AUSGeoid models leading to the modernised dual frame height datums AHD and AVWS.

Presenter:  Dr Craig Roberts

Head of Surveying Program, Senior Lecturer, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UNSW, Sydney, Australia.

Craig bridges the gap between teaching and research, industry and academia for modern high technology precision geospatial technologies and their practical application. Expanding from a humble degree in Surveying, pioneering experiences in international geodetic field work using GPS for tectonic studies and a PhD in GPS volcano monitoring have ignited his passion for teaching and sharing expertise.

He is the National Education Representative on the ICSM Geodesy Working Group, the Public Officer and Secretary of the IGNSS Association Inc (responsible for the bi-annual IGNSS conferences) and Chair of the subsurface utility committee on the NSW Surveying and Mapping Industry Council. 

Current research interests; promotion of datum modernisation, multi-GNSS, UAVs and laser scanning for high precision mapping.
