DCCEEW - Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) - Senior Spatial Analyst (EXTRACTOR)

/

NRARs Spatial and Data Analytics Team is seeking to appoint a skilled and innovative Senior Spatial Analyst (EXTRACTOR) to join our team for the proactive detection of potentially non-compliant water take through the state-wide integration of GIS, remote sensing, water licensing, water accounting and other datasets.

EXTRACTOR is an advanced, farm-scale water balance tool developed for NRAR. It enables the identification of properties where satellite estimates of annual water requirements (derived from crop evapotranspiration models, BoM climate data and estimates of on-farm storage volume flux) differ significantly from total metered water take. In this role, you will assess EXTRACTOR’s effectiveness through case study applications across the Northern and Southern Murray-Darling Basin.

Essential Requirements

  • Relevant Honours, Masters or PhD degree level tertiary qualification in Spatial Sciences, GIS, Remote Sensing, Science, Natural Resources or related disciplines or equivalent experience.

  • Research-by-thesis experience, including publication of first author scientific papers

Applications close 24 November 2024.

Grant-Funded Researcher (A) - Remote Sensing and Vegetation Ecology

/

The Grant-Funded Researcher role is to work on two separate but related projects of using Earth observation to measure vegetation responses to global change. The first project, SA EcoMap, is supported by SmartSat CRC. SA EcoMap will investigate the usage of hyperspectral remote sensing with UAV LiDAR to examine differential vegetation recovery from bushfire. The second project, sponsored by the ARC, will examine the impact of rising temperatures on reducing tropical forest canopy leaf area.

The successful applicant will be based at the North Terrace campus of the University of Adelaide.

Applications close on 21 November 2024.
