This unit is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills required to become a certified drone pilot. The unit consists of three components: CASA RePL theory, drone flight training, and using drones for geospatial mapping. You will learn about basic aviation, multi-rotor systems and functionality, mission preparation and planning, aerodynamics, navigation, meteorology, human factors, and...

Geodesy is the study of the Earth's dynamic shape, size, and gravitational field. Modern space geodetic observations underpin not only our ability to determine precise location on Earth and in orbit, but a broad number of scientific fields that address questions of direct societal relevance; the study of regional and global changes in mean sea level, quantifying changes to polar ice caps,...

Obtaining project funding is critical for a successful career in research and grant writing is an art form. In this unit, higher degree research students will gain an insight into the research funding environment in Australia. Different types of grants (including projects and fellowships) will be discussed and the process of preparing an application will be practiced in several steps. Skills will...

From the poles to the tropics, marine predators influence marine ecosystem structure through top down and bottom-up processes. Marine predators including tuna, turtles, sharks, seabirds, and marine mammals, range widely across global oceans. Often feeding at the top of marine food webs, they integrate ecosystem signals and are indicators or sentinels of prey distributions, ecosystem structure and...
