08 May '26

Dear colleagues The NISAR seminar below may be of interest to many of our community. Matt King University of Tasmania From: Earth Observation Australia <communications(a)eoa.org.au<mailto:communications@eoa.org.au>> Sent: Friday, 8 May 2026 11:24 AM To: Garthwaite, Matt (S&A, Black Mountain) <Matt.Garthwaite(a)csiro.au<mailto:Matt.Garthwaite@csiro.au>> Subject: EOA Community Update View this email in your browser<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/d5WTCoVzE9HDKjKA5izhJUphpgR?domain=m…> [https://mcusercontent.com/c8a068f8d23bffd6fb1b3d4ad/images/4c1ce5b6-610b-d4…] Community Update May 2026 NISAR webinar [https://mcusercontent.com/c8a068f8d23bffd6fb1b3d4ad/images/1ca2181f-49b3-3b…]<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/bf9HCr8DKNfrDPDy7Ujt0U4rrHv?domain=e…> NISAR: Revolutionising Global Earth Observation Through Synthetic Aperture Radar The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) mission, a pioneering collaboration between the United States and India, marks a significant leap in our ability to monitor Earth's complex processes. As the first hardware-integrated dual-frequency (L-band and S-band) radar mission, NISAR will provide a global, high-resolution temporal record of the planet’s changing crust, ice sheets, and ecosystems. The mission’s primary science objectives include measuring surface deformations with sub-centimetre precision to better understand natural hazards—such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides—as well as tracking the dynamics of sea ice and glaciers. Join us for a talk covering a high-level overview of these primary science objectives of the mission! Date: Fri 15 May Time: 12pm AEST Tickets (Free)<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/L5mRCvl0O7SEypyJqH5uoUQinHu?domain=e…> Our guest speaker, Dr Paul A Rosen, will also discuss NISAR’s role in biomass estimation and carbon cycle monitoring. With its open-data policy and systematic global mapping strategy, NISAR is poised to provide a foundational dataset for the global Earth Observation community, enabling more informed decision-making in the face of environmental change. Tickets<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/TMhMCwVLP8HvRJR5khxCVUJ-fc0?domain=e…> More about Dr Rosen: Dr Paul A Rosen<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/sp8ECxnMQNtLQnQpDhgFVUycP_2?domain=e…> is a Project Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and a leading international expert in Radar Science and Engineering. With over 35 years of experience in Earth and planetary remote sensing, Dr. Rosen currently serves as the NASA Project Scientist for the NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) mission - a landmark partnership between the United States and India to provide global, high-resolution measurements of Earth's changing ecosystems, dynamic surfaces, and ice masses. AVIRIS-3 in Aus [https://mcusercontent.com/c8a068f8d23bffd6fb1b3d4ad/images/5b1582c6-8b31-55…]<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/9YXBCzvO0NfGmQmXEf7ILU98-l6?domain=e…> NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is officially bringing their next-generation hyperspectral sensor, AVIRIS-3, to Australia for a 6-week joint airborne campaign starting in October 2026. University of New England is leading this with CSIRO and TERN. This is an opportunity for EOA members to get NASA grade hyperspectral data over a specified study area. NASA will provide the instrument, the operations team, and deliver all processed radiance/reflectance data openly. In return, the Australian EO community will coordinate mission, capture Australia’s TERN sites, and in-situ ground truthing. Why AVIRIS-3? It is a cryogenic imaging spectrometer (380–2500 nm / 7.4nm spectral sampling) capable of spatial resolutions from 0.5m to 13m. It’s a game-changer for mapping inland and coastal water quality, ecosystem/vegetation health, bushfire fuels, and critical surface geology. The organisers are currently compiling the target flight lines and need to map out Australian expertise and priority sites. Want to be included? To get your research site included in the flight planning, we need the following ASAP: * Read the linked JPL slide deck for the full campaign details and capabilities * [Optional] Watch the webinar EOA held on this topic earlier this year * Complete the linked Expression of Interest form * Create a .KML file clearly defining your proposed target site boundary JPL slide deck<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/XwJiCANZy7iZ1L1xBhwSAUGnx7C?domain=e…> NASA JPL AVIRIS to Aus Webinar<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/w5H6CBNZz7iDlplx0ipT5U2Dd2m?domain=e…> EoI for AVIRIS-3<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/XuMGCD1jB7foONO7wH6UrUjB9fy?domain=e…> What does it cost? Is it free? There is a nominal cost of flight per day, and if data is a priority for your team’s research, there is an option to pay for priority. If you/your team cannot afford to assist financially, you can complete an EOI for free and the organising team will do their best. Please send your completed EOI document and your KML file to Bradley Evans<mailto:bradley.evans@une.edu.au?subject=AVIRIS-3%20in%20Aus>, EOA Vice President, as soon as possible so the organisers can consolidate the flight plans and ensure requested sites are represented.

Postdoc in Antarctic satellite geodesy (altimetry/gravimetry)
by Matt King 13 Nov '25

13 Nov '25

Dear colleagues [apologies if you receive this several times] Postdoctoral Fellow in Antarctic Satellite Geodesy I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher with significant expertise in satellite geodesy for land ice sheet change (altimetry and/or gravimetry), for a 4-year postdoctoral research position at the University of Tasmania, Australia. This postdoctoral research position will use satellite geodetic datasets to contribute new knowledge of change in the mass and elevation of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The position is part of a new prestigious ARC Laureate Fellowship team of about 15 researchers who are being assembled by Prof Matt King to work together on tracking and predicting the future of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The successful candidate will bring their expertise in satellite altimetry and/or gravimetry to this problem to help improve understanding of the change and variability of the ice sheet, including through combination of these two measurement types. These will be used to help others develop a new model of Antarctic glacial isostatic adjustment. The appointed postdoc will contribute to building a collegial and collaborative team research environment. Team researchers are well supported by travel and professional development funds. This is an opportunity to be part of a new and exciting team whilst working at the world's leading Antarctic and Southern Ocean university. Location: The city of Hobart in Australia's island state of Tasmania provides an outstanding quality of life, on the edge of the Southern Ocean and within easy reach of Tasmania's many National Parks and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area https://parks.tas.gov.au/explore-our-parks/tasmanian-wilderness-world-herit…<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/isI9CGvmG7fJnMjPKHKf9CB7bzO?domain=p…>.
