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 within the School of Surveying & SIS, exceeding 20 staff and graduate students.

In mid-2004, upon the appointment of Prof. Chris Rizos as its Head, some dramatic changes occurred in the staffing of the School of Surveying & SIS. The School consists of the following academic staff: Dr. Andrew Dempster (Assoc. Prof.), Dr. Jinling Wang (Senior Lecturer), Dr. Linlin Ge (Assoc. Prof.), Dr. Samsung Lim (Senior Lecturer), Dr. Craig Roberts (Senior Lecturer). Several Research Associates and Research Assistants have also been appointed over the last few years: Dr. Yong Li, Dr. Binghao Li, Dr. Yanrui Geng, Dr. Michael Chang, Dr. Asghar Tabatabaei, Mr. Peter Mumford, Mr. Thomas Yan, Mr. Nonie Politi, Mr. Yong Heo and Ms. Jasmin Kim.

The SNAP group has evolved from being a large number of graduate students supervised by one or two academic staff, to the current situation where almost all of the academic/research staff of the School of Surveying & SIS have research interests in the general fields of "Navigation" and "Earth Observation", or simply known by the acronym "NEO". The SNAP web site is maintained as a portal for information on all activities of the Satellite Navigation and Positioning Laboratory, which is now organised according to several major themes:

A weekly Staff-Student Development Seminar series is a forum for researchers to present their work, in the form of progress reports, research proposals (by new PG students) or practice conference papers.

  • 12.5.2008 M8.0 Sichuan Earthquake mapped by satellite radar interferometry - Our InSAR team has joined the race, together with other InSAR teams from e.g. Oxford University, Stanford University, Harvard University and the US Geological Survey, in order to generate the first ground displacement map for the quake using satellite radar interferometry. Our team has worked around the clock as soon as the Japanese ALOS satellite successfully acquired imagery in the early morning of 20th May and released our results at noon on 21st May to the Chinese authorities. We are one of the first to get such results, thanks to the close collaboration with Japan's Earth Remote Sensing Data Analysis Center (ERSDAC) and Kochi Women’s University. Details of our results are available from the webpage http://www.gmat.unsw.edu.au/LinlinGe/Earthquake/. See also news release...
  • On 3 June 2008, officials from the Chinese Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China in Sydney, Counsellor BAI Gang and Consul GUO Liang, visited the UNSW Image Analysis Lab to thank the CRCSI/UNSW/Lands InSAR Team for their wonderful efforts in supporting the earthquake rescue operation in China by working closely with their Japanese collaborators. Prof Graham Davies, the Dean for the UNSW Faculty of Engineering, hosted their visit. The Chinese official Xinhua News Agency, China Central Television (CCTV), Australian New Express Daily, and UNSW have sent journalists to report the event. The Australian Broadcast Corporation organised a radio interview with the Team in the morning as well. Their work had been reported earlier by The Sydney Morning Herald based in Sydney and The Science Times based in Beijing. These results have been shared with a number of agencies in China, including the China Earthquake Authority, the National Disaster Reduction Center of China, and the Expert Group for Earthquake Rescue and Disaster Mitigation under the State Council, as well as numerous research institutions.
