@charlesdarwinuni.bsky.social staff are here at NT Farmer Association's Northern Food Futures conference. Come and chat to us about food production in northern Australia!

The conference's theme is ‘Developing future researchers for northern Australian primary production’ and postgraduate researchers will have the chance to showcase their work and connect with industry.

CDU's Research Institute for Northern Agriculture will host the conference in association with Northern Australia Food Futures and the NT Farmers Association.

Some of the nation’s most innovative students will present their work at the first Northern Australia Universities Alliance postgraduate research conference on April 8 to 9.

“As automation increases, it becomes more problematic who is the driver, in fact and in law, for the purposes of international and national road traffic laws"- Dr Mark Brady on #self-drivingvehicles

“But officer, I wasn’t driving!”: Research reveals the problem with self-driving cars and traffic laws | Charles Darwin University Self-driving vehicles are becoming more commonplace on our roads but the traffic legislation keeping them in check is not up to speed, according to new research led by Charles Darwin University.

Self-driving #vehicles are becoming more commonplace on our roads but the #traffic legislation keeping them in check is not up to speed.

This bias has the potential to reinforce the existing discrepancy in health outcomes and life expectancy between people living in major cities and rural and remote areas. We have an obligation to recognise and address this.

“With USVs you can observe the ocean cost-effectively. For example, five or ten USVs can take to the ocean for the price of one crewed vessel, which means you can collect data in different places at the same time. Until now this has not been feasible – this is a #groundbreaking new capability.”

“This #technology is currently booming, and we urgently need to establish a global network to agree on standards and best practices so that USV data can be used to enhance our understanding of the #oceans and #climate,” Dr Patterson said.

Dr Patterson is a Research Fellow at CDU and oceanographer with Elysium EPL. She's proposing a permanent #global #USV #network within the Global Ocean Observing System.
