School of Science Technology and Engineering (SSTE)
School of Science, Technology and Engineering brings together all non-health related STEM disciplines to create a vibrant, multidisciplinary environment that fosters innovative and impactful research and educational outcomes.
The Opportunity
Joining forces with the Queensland Earth Observation Hub/SmartSat CRC Queensland Node, City of Gold Coast Council, Geoimage, and the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC), you'll contribute to the groundbreaking project titled ‘Calibration and validation of SAR and stereo/tri-stereo satellite data for assessing vegetation condition’.
The project will compare on-ground BioCondition (standardised Qld Herbarium vegetation metrics) with aerial LiDAR, RGB and infra-red optical imagery, Tri-Stereo Optical satellite, and synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery, to assess the condition of vegetation within selected areas of the City of Gold Coast conservation estate. Utilise your expertise in earth observation data analysis and radar scattering models to drive innovation, build industry capabilities, and empower land managers to apply space technology to land-management practices.
