Abstract

Surveying & SIS, UNSW, Australia, and leader of the Satellite Navigation and Positioning (SNAP) Group (http://www.gmat.unsw.edu.au/snap/). He has been engaged in GPS research since the mid-1980s, which was at first focused on geodetic applications. More recently Chris has broadened the SNAP group’s research across a wide range of positioning applications that can be addressed by GNSS and various ground-based wireless location technologies. He is currently secretary of Section 1 “Positioning” of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG).
