November 2011 - User Needs Analysis for Bathymetric Data
The CRC for Spatial Information[1] (CRCSI), in
partnership with the Commonwealth Department of Climate Change and Energy
Efficiency (DCCEE), and with the support of the Intergovernmental
Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) and by the Australian Hydrographic
Office (AHO), is conducting a user needs analysis for bathymetric data within
Australia. The aims of the project are to:
• Identify the range of
applications in which bathymetric data is being employed
• Understand the specific data
requirements of these applications
• Summarise the features that
make such data versatile, multi-use and fit-for-purpose
• Produce a report documenting
the findings of the study
• Make recommendations for
improving future data collection strategies
The project will be conducted between October 2011 and
February 2012, with the final report published mid-2012.
Information provided in completing the attached
questionnaire will remain confidential and anonymous. The report will
present only a collective analysis of the gathered data. Organisations
participating in the survey will be listed in the report unless they elect
otherwise when completing the questionnaire.
Thank you in anticipation for contributing to this
project. We look forward to receiving your response. If you have
any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Dr. Nathan Quadros: nquadros@crcsi.com.au

and development centre set up under the Australian CRC Program. The CRCSI
conducts user-driven research in emerging areas of spatial information that
address issues of national importance. For more information please see http://www.crcsi.com.au/Research/Commissioned-Research/UDEM-for-CC.
FORUM News Release:
AHS FORUM SUSPENDED
In view of the impending handover to the new Webmaster/Moderator, the AHS website FORUM has been temporarily suspended.
All AHS Members who were previous members of the FORUM will need to RE-REGISTER when the FORUM is reinstated and will be able to do so with their current username and password.
Apologies for the temporary inconvenience..
The FORUM was established as a result of an EAR Meeting, held on 15 July
2008, when lengthy discussions took place on ways and means to enable the EAR
membership to overcome their geographic dispersal in order to facilitate
“attendance” at EAR meetings. Initial discussion centred on the possibility of
tele/videoconferencing and then moved on to the provision of an online
“conference” facility [FORUM] as had been suggested earlier by John Maschke.
This was put into effect; not just for EAR members but for
all our members as well as anyone else interested in what we do.
