Professor Joseph Awange joined the Department of Spatial Sciences (Curtin University, Australia) in 2006 under a Curtin Research Fellowship and concurrently undertook the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) Fellowship at the Geodetic Institute (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany) having been awarded the Australian 2008-2011 Ludwig Leichhardt Memorial Fellowship for experienced researchers. In 2015, he won all the three major Fellowship Awards: Alexander von Humboldt (Germany), Japan Society of Promotion of Science (Japan) and Brazil Frontier of Science (Brazil) to carry out research in those countries. At Curtin University, he is currently engaged in teaching and research having attracted more than $1.5M worth of research grants. He obtained his BSc and MSc degrees in Surveying from the University of Nairobi (Kenya), and was also awarded a merit scholarship by the German Academic Exchange Program (DAAD), which facilitated his obtaining a second MSc degree and PhD in Geodesy at Stuttgart University (Germany). In 2002-2004, he was awarded the prestigious Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellowship to pursue postdoctoral research at Kyoto University (Japan). Prof Awange attained International Editorial role in Springer Earth Science Books and has authored 11 scholarly books with the prestigious Springer publishers and more than 130 peer-reviewed high impact journal publications (in e,g., Remote Sensing of Environment, Journal of Climate, Climatic Change, Advances in Water Resources, International Journal of Climatology, and Journal of Hydrology among others).<br><p></p><p>John Walker was awarded a B.App.Sc (Surveying and Mapping) in 1988, and a Post-Grad Dip. (Surveying and Mapping) in 1989 by Curtin University.<br></p><p></p> <p>John had been a casual lecturer and tutor at Curtin since 1998, working in the areas of Aviation (Navigation, Flight Planning,Navigation Aids, and Flight Management); Surveying (Survey Computations, Survey</p>ing methods, GNSS) and Cartography (Computer Aided Mapping).<p></p> <p>He is the continuing author of a first semester course manual in Survey Computations.</p> <p>He has worked closely with Dr Joseph Awange on the practical portion of a Surveying unit for Civil and Mining Engineers and has collaborated as co-author and editor of this book.</p> <p>John has extensive experience as an Engineering Surveyor. He is also a commercial pilot in light aircraft and was formerly an Air Traffic Controller with leadership in Operational Control and Aviation Search and Rescue.</p>
