Shocking! Despite the huge size of Australia, there's no Australian satellites collecting #earthobservation #data for environmental reporting and research. Australia depends 100% on international providers. Andy Allen introduces CSIRO's #AusCalVal at TERN #ScienceSymposium
Following into the footsteps of the Threatened Species Index! WildOrbs has ambitions plans to develop a network of everyone who collects wildlife camera trap data and consolidate that within TERN. Goal is to provide data services to any research need. By Tom Bruce at #ScienceSymposium π
