What we can do – we have expertise in− Geoid and height determination (e.g., AUSGeoid , AHD)− InSAR (satellite radar interferometry) processing and analysis− Land deformation analysis from geodetic observations (InSAR, GNSS,
levelling) − Geodetic reference frame transformations− Airborne and terrestrial gravity− Coastal oceanography− Time series analysis− Least square adjustment and analysis− Wavelet and Fourier spectral analysis− Flexural isostasy− Ultra-high resolution gravity modelling

• The world uses about 200 million tonnes of fertiliser per year. • A market worth $152 billion USD.• We ask:
• Is it being used well?• Is there a better strategy?
The Future is… data rich and growing rapidly
