Physics at UNE had its beginnings in 1939 as part of the New England University College. The photograph shows some research equipment from about 1951. Jack Somerville (centre) was the first Professor of Physics. Neville Fletcher (right) later became a Professor of Physics at UNE. Details of the history of Physics at UNE can be found here.
Newsflash
UNE’s Precision Agriculture Research Group has succeeded in gaining a major research project to evaluate and demonstrate some of the latest in precision agriculture concepts and technologies including onground crop and soil sensors, GPS cattle-tracking collars, unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs or ‘drones’), 3-D visualization and airborne/satellite imaging. The project, called Clever Cattle & Cropping Systems is funded by the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information ($963,000 over three years) and involves staff of UNE Physics and Electronics as well as Geography and Planning, with industry partners Sundown Pastoral, Twynam Agriculture, Geogenx, V-Tol Aerospace, Superair, GPS-Ag, University of Melbourne, CTF Solutions and the CSIRO.
