In the paddocks of Queensland’s Darling Downs, a network of corner reflectors has quietly shaped the accuracy of satellite data used around the world. NCRIS-enabled through AuScope, the Queensland Corner Reflector Array has, over the past decade, become essential to agencies like ESA and NASA for calibrating and validating satellites that monitor Earth’s surface with precision.

AuScope is helping researchers uncover these secrets by building hardened instruments for the continent’s extreme conditions, drilling to unlock secrets in sediments beneath the ice, and developing advanced software to model sea-level rise. These NCRIS-enabled tools are vital for preparing communities for a warming world.
