Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin December 2014 Issue 63

Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin
December 2014 Issue 63
Out with the old and in with the new.  Farewell to 2014, greetings to 2015.

What will happen in the spatial industry in the New Year?  What new developments will occur and who will come up with another innovative use of GIS?  We have certainly seen many ways GIS has benefited industry and individuals alike.  Innovations such as using a quadcopter UAV to quickly deliver a floatation device to a distressed swimmer, which won an award for University of Wollongong students or addressing climate change and then there is the phone App which will help you find your parked car.

Some imagination, some logic, some lateral thinking and anything is possible.
Whatever, wherever the invention and the inventor, we will continue to bring you up-to-date news and views and a little humour.

We wish you all a very happy, safe and satisfying 2015.

Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin November 2014 Issue 62

Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin
November 2014 Issue 62
The climate has changed yet again.  We have moved from Winter to Spring and soon it will be Summer.

Parts of Australia have already had unseasonably hot weather, with South Australia having to declare almost the whole of the State has having catastrophic fire conditions.  And who has heard of Brisbane having 40°C at this time of the year, no need to go inside for a sauna!

Among the key findings of the Synthesis Report are—“Human influence on the climate system is clear and growing, with impacts observed on all continents. If left unchecked, climate change will increase the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems. However, options are available to adapt to climate change and implementing stringent mitigations activities can ensure that the impacts of climate change remain within a manageable range, creating a brighter and more sustainable future.”

Whether you are a sceptic or a believer, there is no doubt the climate does undergo changes and the spatial Industry has a significant role to play in defining areas of concern and measuring risk.
In fact the NRM Planning for Climate Change project, undertaken in partnership with Natural Decisions for 7 Victorian Councils has received the 2014 Victorian Spatial Excellence Award for Sustainability and Environment.
