On our second episode of our APS Reform in Action series, we hear from Lisa Bush and Maree Wilson from Geoscience Australia about the power of geospatial data for better decision-making in the public sector.If you want to make better decisions, you need to have quality, trusted data. Unfortunately, critical data can often sit in siloes or be scattered across spreadsheets. Geoscience Australia's Digital Atlas of Australia steps up to this challenge, providing a unified and accessible data set that can help you build better policies – or decide where you want to build your new home.Lisa Bush, head of Geoscience Australia's National Location Information Branch, and Maree Wilson, Chief of Place and Communities Division, join host David Pembroke, CEO of contentgroup, to talk about making geospatial data more accessible through the Atlas. They also shine a light on how it can improve functions such as social services or emergency management, and enhance data capabilities in the public sector.This series is delivered in partnership with the Australian Public Service Commission.The Digital Atlas of Australia, a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia, the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Department of Social Services was a finalist for the 2024 IPAA ACT Spirit of Service Awards.Key tips:1. Geospatial data can help you make decisions in minutes - make the best use of it2. Don't be afraid to try, you won't need to be a geospatial data expert to use the Atlas3. If you're creating or using national data, in your role, reach out to the Digital Atlas team.Show notes:The Digital Atlas of Australia | Geoscience Australia Hosted on Acast.

This episode of Eyes on Earth is the second in a series about how Landsat is helping researchers study coastal changes. The first one was about mapping changes to beaches in California and using Landsat to create models to predict how the coastline may change in the future because of sea level rise and coastal erosion. For this episode, we talk with Robbi Bishop-Taylor, coastal Earth observation scientist at Geoscience Australia, about how he takes advantage of one of Landsat's best features—time. Using Landsat data back to the 1980s and Open Data Cube to make the dataset openly available, researchers can see where shorelines are eroding and where they are growing around the entire coastline of Australia. Using sub-pixel mapping, they can make Landsat's 30-meter pixels even more detailed while taking advantage of Landsat's long archive.

Carto Nullius In this episode I introduce the concept of Carto Nullius, which is strictly not linguistically correct but a play on the latin terms terra nullius, a term that for so long was used to marginalise and dispossess Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It is my contention that cartography as a discipline has for a long time been empty of even very general traditional Aboriginal knowledge. The global renaissance of mapping technology, remote observations and need for data is an emerging sector that would be enhanced and strengthened by exposure to, partnership with and interpretation of traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge inputs. This podcast anticipates a seminar Kado Muir will be giving at the Geoscience Australia building in Canberra on Wednesday 10th May, 2023 at 11am, seminar title: Culturally Grounded Mapping for Country: TEK, Science & Technology Abstract Technological advances in remote sensing, mapping and data acquisition and analysis using new tools like machine learning, artificial intelligence and other digital mapping models are developed from western world views. Kado Muir offers insight into how traditional ecological knowledge contributes a culturally grounded perspective in country mapping.

Lucy is attempting to become the first woman to walk the length of the world. She began at the bottom of Argentina in February 2017 and will cross 15 countries to reach the highest point of Northern America. She will travel only by foot, or when the terrain is impassable by kayak or swimming.   In 2019, Lucy became the first woman to have hiked the length of South America (from Argentina to Colombia).    Due to the pandemic, Lucy needed to pause her expedition and returned home to Australia in 2020 where she has been waiting for the travel bans and restrictions to lift.    In December 2022 Lucy will be flying back out to Columbia to meet up with her beloved dog Wombat - she will then continue on her way.    During this episode we catch up with Lucy to see what life has been like since we last spoke to her. Lucy shares more about the heartbreak of leaving Wombat behind when she needed to return to Australia. She fills us in on what she's been up to while her journey has been on hold.  She shares more about the planning and preparation required to get back to Columbia to start walking again.   We first spoke with Lucy on Jun 25, 2019 - Her Goal to be the first women to walk the length of the Earth! https://www.toughgirlchallenges.com/single-post/lucy-barnard    *** Lucy's career started with a science degree and specialisation in communications. She has been the chair of National Science Week NT, and worked extensively in aboriginal health research until moving to Geoscience Australia in 1016. She is passionate about culture and storytelling and aspires to become an ethnographic writer.   Lucy has been awarded competitive grants for her work from the Australian Geographic society and The North Face, and has been nominated for an OAM from the Australian Government in recognition of her contribution to the outdoor industry.   ***    New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Subscribe so you don't miss out.    To support the mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media.

More than 12,600 people felt the tremor from Victor Harbor to Kapunda, Marino to Mypolonga. While significant earthquakes are rare in South Australia, they do happen, including the 1954 earthquake in Adelaide which was 50 times larger.  One of Geoscience Australia's Senior Seismologists, Phil Cummins, joins Jennie Lenman to discuss.

Farmer-Led, Science-Based Greenhouse Gas Mitigation: Strategies for Australia and Abroad” can be viewed online at The Crawford Fund's website. Take further inspiration from the international Global Research Alliance (GRA) on Greenhouse Gases in Agriculture, that ACIAR, for Australia, currently Chairs, and that Dr Walker and colleagues convened meetings for in conjunction with the workshop that we discuss in this episode.   A privilege and such a pleasure to speak with and learn from Dr Chartres and Dr Walker and to hear their ideas and reflections upon, the discussions – before and after the workshop.  Eminent Australian scientists - each with deep knowledge and understanding about Australian agriculture and ecosystems. Before joining The Crawford Fund as CEO in 2014, Dr Chartres was Director General of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), a CGIAR Research Centre, headquartered in Sri Lanka, 2007-2012. Previously, he was Chief Science Adviser to the National Water Commission, held senior roles in the Bureau of Rural Sciences and Geoscience Australia and worked with CSIRO Division of Soils from 1984- 1997 and from 2002-2004 in CSIRO's Land and Water Division.

Adelaide is building a reputation worldwide as the clean, fresh city in a beautiful state, boasting magnificent gourmet food and ease of getting where you want to go. But tonight, we cover two topics that contrast against these claims so that, as Adelaideans, we can reflect on where we want to take South Australia next. The first is the arrival of Krispy Kreme donuts with all the fanfare and plenty of media hype. While we are the last people to turn down a little hedonistic pleasure, Professor Gary Wittert from Adelaide University's discipline of medicine, shines a light on the underbelly of donuts and donut consumption. And then George Inglis (a self-confessed planning pretender and policy wonk) joins us to talk about public transport and share his personal views on what our city could do to run our blind obsession with cars off the road. In George's view, frequency is the magic word, along we a rethink about having every type of public transport do the same thing instead of working together for a better system. Nigel One gives us a great insight into a critical thinking approach when dealing with people who stump you in conversations with opposing views you feel are wrong, we solve the sunset times quandary from last week thanks to Geoscience Australia, and wine rains down from One Tree Hill thanks to the magnificent, Tenafeate Creek Wines. Plus Adelaide landmarks of childhood, two radio veterans enter the South Australia Register and music from Sun Theory to warm your winter.
