  Location: Tokyo, Japan
  Date: 25 - 28 January, 1999
  Author: Ramesh Govind, John Dawson, Geoff Luton & David Sproule
  Summary: Global and Regional GPS, SLR and DORIS computations are routinely being undertaken at AUSLIG (now Geoscience Australia). Current activity is to develop a computation and analysis system that combines all space geodetic techniques (including VLBI) to produce single consistent solutions as part of routine operations; contributing to the ITRF. The current analysis of GPS, SLR and DORIS data and their subsequent combination (with VLBI as well) is discussed; and results from processed/combined data sets are presented.
  
• TITLE: Combination of High Precision Space Geodetic Techniques: The Asia and Pacific Regional Geodetic Project 1997 [PDF_2.5Mb]
  Forum: Advances in Space Research. Vol.23, no.4 pp 797-807, 1990. Presented COSPAR Scientific Assembly
  Location: Nagoya, Japan
  Date: July 1998
  Author: R. Govind, J. Dawson, D. Sproule & G. Luton
  Summary: The Asia Pacific Regional Geodetic Project 1997, (APRGP97) was undertaken under the auspices of the Working Group on Asia and the Pacific Regional Geodetic Networks, Permanent Committee on GIS Infrastructure for Asia and the Pacific, UN Regional Cartographic Conference for Asia and the Pacific. The planned major outcomes of the project, which includes the establishment (densification) of a high accuracy terrestrial reference frame with all space geodetic techniques fully integrated, and thus the infrastructure to consolidate all the national datums, are presented.
  
• TITLE: Ties at Geodectic Observatories in South - Eastern Australia [PDF_240k]
  Date: August 1997
  Author: Art Stolz, Brian Murphy & Jim Steed
  Summary: Finger and Folkner (1991), Ray et al. (1991), Himwich et al. (1993) and Schutz et al. (1993), amongst others, have reported large discrepancies between the SLR coordinates of the Orroral geodetic observatory (CDP 7843) and the VLBI positions of the Tidbinbilla DSN sites (CDP 1543 and 1545) when compared via ties determined by a combination of ground survey data and GPS. A systematic study to assess the validity of published ties in the ACT was initiated in response. Subsequently, the scope of the study was broadened to include Hobart.
  
• TITLE: Co-location of High Precision Space Geodetic Techniques:- Products for Mapping, GIS, Satellite Positioning and Global Change Monitoring [PDF_62k]
  Forum: Proceedings, Australian Mapping Science Conference
  Location: Canberra, Australia
  Date: 1996
  Author: Ramesh Govind
  Summary: The products of high precision space geodetic techniques such as VLBI, SLR, GPS, DORIS, PRARE, satellite altimetry and satellite gradiometry are of significant importance to mapping, GIS, satellite positioning and global change monitoring in the context of "mapping for management" – management of the changing environment due to the natural processes within the Earth and from anthropogenic causes.
