The Satellite Navigation & Positioning (SNAP) group within the School of Surveying & Spatial Information Systems, The University of New South Wales, since the early 1990s has established itself as the premier academic GPS research and development group in Australia. For many years the SNAP group has been the largest, and most productive, within the School of Surveying & SIS, in the last few years totalling over 20 staff and graduate students.

In 2004 some dramatic changes have occurred in the staffing of the School of Surveying & SIS. The following academic staff have been appointed: Dr. Andrew Dempster (Assoc. Prof.), Dr. Jinling Wang (Senior Lecturer), Dr. Linlin Ge (Senior Lecturer), Dr. Samsung Lim (Senior Lecturer), Dr. Craig Roberts (Lecturer). These join several Research Associates: Dr. Joel Barnes and Dr. Yong Li (CRC-funded); as well as the original head of the SNAP group, Prof. Chris Rizos (Head of School from 12 July 2004).

Hence the SNAP group has evolved from being a large number of graduate students supervised by one or two academic staff, to the situation where almost all of the academic/research staff of the School of Surveying & SIS have research interests in the general field of "Satellite and Wireless Positioning". This web site is maintained as a portal for information on all activities of the Satellite Navigation and Positioning Laboratory, which is now organised along the lines of four major themes:

SNAP staff have important roles to play in the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information.
