WA Government’s Land Information Authority (1000 staff) with four main roles Manage transfer of land ownership Valuation of land for local taxation Mapping and Survey of Land for 1) and 2) Satellite remote sensing for land management 30 staff with 8 PhDs Run two satellite receiving stations Routinely processes 25Gbytes data per day from over seven satellites AusAid work with MoF, MoE, LAPAN and Vietnam What is LANDGATE?

Must be driven by end-user needs Build using own skills – training important Multiple satellites and other spatial data Access to the Super Highway for the core node Automated end-to-end to system Appropriate delivery technology to end-users Collaboration is important at all stages Lessons Learnt from FireWatch

Fire frequency 1997-2005, AVHRR FireWatch developed to manage burning of Tropical Savannas in Northern Australia

Tropical Rainforests of the World – from 16% to 6% in the 20th Century Protecting Indonesia’s Rainforest is a big challenge

Reception of Satellite Data Across Australia – 7 satellites, 6 stations That which gets Measured gets Managed Use of real-time satellite data is vital About 20 overpasses per day

Satellite Image Reception Products Access to Satellite Data received across Australia requires Collaboration Collaborators: BOM; CSIRO; Geoscience Australia; Curtin University; Murdoch University, Also NT, Qld, WA Government Agencies and NASA

Landgate’s Satellite Remote Sensing Services Specialists in the near real-time processing and delivery of satellite information for: Wild fires detection and burnt area mapping - FireWatch Change in forest cover to detect illegal clearing - Land monitor Flood mapping and forecast - Floodmap Drought and food security monitoring - Vegetation Watch Intensive grazing management - Pastures from Space Precision agriculture - AgImage Ocean currents for fishermen - Fishing Hot Spots

A back-burn was performed to stop the fire spreading north and was successful. Eventually the movement of the fire to the East was stopped by a fire break in the North-South direction.

Seven satellites NOAA15/16/17/18, Terra, Aqua, MTSAT-1R processed in NRT each day 18GB/day of MODIS + 6GB AVHRR (24 GB/day) transferred each day through Aarnet. Aarnet bandwidth 100MBits/s limited by firewall, potential much higher FireWatch 5GB/month, all services 9GB/month delivered to clients daily To provide MODIS from Darwin to LAPAN or MoF for processing - 6GB/day How much data being handled?

Assessment of FireWatch by Dr Jeremy Russell-Smith, Northern Territory: • Impact of FireWatch on Fire management in Tropical Savannas? • Quite simply FireWatch has totally transformed operational fire management across the northern Australia • What has been the significance of the on-line delivery to end users who make the critical management decisions ? • Availability of reliable, timely mapping data from satellite has transformed our operations.

Questions to Dr Jeremy Russell-Smith, Northern Territory: • Future of FireWatch for Carbon Accounting? • Enormous, given that burning of savannas is an accountable activity under the Kyoto Protocol. • Equally significant to the fire-prone savanna landscapes in Indonesia, especially where vulnerable small forest patches are embedded in the savanna matrix • 4. Future developments of FireWatch? • Building on Western Arnhem Land Fire Abatement (WALFA) project, especially in eastern Indonesia and Papua. • $1million pa for 17 years will be payed to WALFA by Conoco-Philips for its oil refining in Darwin.

Landgate FireWatch – a good model for FWI Build using own skills – Training vital at all levels Must be driven by end-user needs Multiple satellites and other spatial data Automated end-to-end to system Access to the Super Highway for the core nodes (LAPAN, MoF and MoE for fire data) Appropriate delivery to end-users (eg. Indosat 3.5G) Collaboration is important at all stages Summary of Lessons Learnt

WAFMA area 28,000 km2

Emissions abatement opportunities from savanna burning • Kyoto Protocol—Prescribed burning of savannas a listed accountable activity in the Agriculture sector • reported in Australia’s NGGI – annually ~2-4% of Australia’s GHG emissions • includes all fire emissions from tropical savannas and temperate grasslands –assumes all fires anthropogenic • currently only CH4, N2O accounted for, but other GHG gases to be included in future (CO, VOCs, NOx) • economic opportunity – does not involve C property rights (e.g. C sequestration in plantations), but accounts for abatement of GHG emissions from savanna fires relative to baselines

Many believe that ICT revolution is over, others that the last 20 year was a warm up The real revolution is about to begin as the complementarities begin to work together ICT will transform every aspect of business, life and society Future of ICT From: CSIRO Solve 11, May 2007
