Fix this textand barbecues sound more
Fix this textlike the Easter Show than the an-
Fix this textnual Courses and Careers Day at
Fix this textUNSW.
Fix this textBut along with all the activities on
Fix this textcampus will be a host of informa-
Fix this texttion, lectures and answers to
Fix this textquestions from those considering
Fix this textundergraduate study here in 1999.
Fix this textCourses and Careers Day starts at
Fix this text9.30 am on Saturday, 5 September,
Fix this textand is expected to attract between
Fix this text10,000 and 12,000 school students
Fix this textand their parents to the Kensing-
Fix this textton campus.
Fix this textIt’s a chance to discuss subject
Fix this textchoices, fees, accommodation, stu-
Fix this textdent exchange, scholarships and
Fix this textHECS with academics and other
Fix this textrepresentatives from all areas of
Fix this textthe University. Academic advice
Fix this textcan be found downstairs in the
Fix this textRoundhouse and non-academic
Fix this textinformation will be upstairs.
Fix this textThe Science Show, simulated fly-
Fix this texting exercises and a Biomedical
Fix this textEngineering display will also take
Fix this textplace in the Roundhouse.
Fix this textOne hundred and six lectures will
Fix this textbe held in the Central Lecture
Fix this textBlock, Morven Brown and Quad
Fix this textLecture Theatres from 10.15 am to
Fix this text3.15 pm, covering all undergradu-
Fix this textate courses and areas of study.
Fix this textThe topics range from “Surviving
Fix this textand Thriving at Uni - Secrets to
Fix this textSuccess at Uni” to “God, Life, the
Fix this textUniverse and Everything!” The
Fix this texthalf-hour lectures are presented by
Fix this textUNSW academic and support staff.
Fix this textStudy skills and career options will
Fix this textbe among the many topics covered.
Fix this textOne of the big highlights of the
Fix this textday will be the UNSW Model So-
Fix this textlar Car Challenge. More than 60
Fix this textNSW schools which have built
Fix this texttheir own solar cars for the race
Fix this textwill gather on the Quad Lawn for
Fix this texta head-to-head battle of giant pro-
Fix this textportions. The knockout will start
Fix this textearly and continue until about

Fix this textCEMAP plans Olympic system
Fix this textJoint research project
Fix this textUNSW’s Centre for Environ-
Fix this textmental Modelling and Pre-
Fix this textdiction (CEMAP), hatched
Fix this textfrom the School of Mathematics, is
Fix this textplanning a joint research project
Fix this textwith the Bureau of Meteorology
Fix this textfor the 2000 Olympics.
Fix this textDiscussions are under way to use
Fix this textthe centre’s sophisticated forecast-
Fix this texting system for predicting weather
Fix this textconditions for outdoor events such
Fix this textas sailing.
Fix this textSimilar detailed work using the
Fix this textsystem has already been con-
Fix this textducted over an area of only a few
Fix this texthundred metres during yacht races
Fix this texton Sydney harbour.
Fix this textCEMAP interacts with groups
Fix this textacross Australia as well as with
Fix this textover 20 international organisa-
Fix this texttions. It is based at the Australian
Fix this textTechnology Park (ATP) in Sydney.
Fix this textProfessor Lance Leslie, from
Fix this textUNSW’s Department of Applied
Fix this textMathematics and Director of
Fix this textCEMAP, developed the system be-
Fix this textcause of demand for a versatile,
Fix this texthighly detailed and specifically
Fix this texttargeted forecasting system.
Fix this text“In simple terms the CEMAP sys-
Fix this texttem works by representing the total
Fix this textenvironment by a set of interlock-
Fix this texting components; the atmosphere,
Fix this textocean, earth and soil, biosphere
Fix this text(mainly plants) and other subcom-
Fix this textponents like ice and atmospheric
Fix this textchemistry,” Professor Leslie said.
Fix this text“These all form one larger assem-
Fix this textblage with interfaces such as the
Fix this textearth and ocean. Each of these com-
Fix this textponents is governed by a set of
Fix this textequations which can be solved by a
Fix this textcomputer to march forward in time
Fix this textto make predictions. But, instead of
Fix this textpredicting one component on its
Fix this textown, the CEMAP model predicts all
Fix this textcomponents together and can target
Fix this texteither very small or extensive areas.”
Fix this textThe CEMAP model is particularly
Fix this textuseful as an early warning system
Fix this textfor extremely hazardous condi-
Fix this texttions like floods, droughts, major
Fix this textstorms and tsunamis.
Fix this textBy running the model on many
Fix this textsimilar cases a “scenario atlas” can
Fix this textbe built up of what might occur and
Fix this textwhich areas will be most vulnerable.
Fix this textHighly detailed and specific predic-
Fix this texttions of conditions in a certain area,
Fix this textcan not only save lives but can
Fix this textavoid huge financial losses. For ex-
Fix this textample, ships using CEMAP are
Fix this textinformed before they depart of fa-
Fix this textvourable winds that could cause
Fix this textpremature arrival at destinations.
Fix this textThis allows the ship to plan a
Fix this textslower journey, saving on fuel costs
Fix this textand expensive port waiting times.
Fix this text“Many industries and organisa-
Fix this texttions already employ the system
Fix this textand it can be used by almost eve-
Fix this textryone,” Professor Leslie said.
Fix this text“Companies enlist CEMAP to calcu-
Fix this textlate requirements for energy supplies
Fix this textand the University of California is
Fix this textjointly working with CEMAP on so-
Fix this textphisticated work on pollution.
Fix this text“The World Meteorological Or-
Fix this textganisation and the United States
Fix this textNavy are interested in work done
Fix this textat CEMAP on predicting tropical
Fix this textcyclones and tornadoes before
Fix this textthey have actually formed, as well
Fix this textas their most probable path. This
Fix this textwas something that couldn’t be
Fix this textdone until just recently.
Fix this text“Australian and American agricul-
Fix this texttural and rural industries target soil
Fix this textmoisture content, wind erosion and
Fix this textweather patterns for planning cru-
Fix this textcial planting and back-burning
Fix this textoperations. We work with several
Fix this textorganisations in China, as well as
Fix this textOregon State University, NASA
Fix this textand the University of Hamburg.
Fix this textThe list goes on,” he said.
Fix this textUnder the proposed joint research
Fix this textproject with the Bureau of Meteor-
Fix this textology for the 2000 Olympics,
Fix this textCEMAP will be testing the model
Fix this textover specified areas and the results
Fix this textwill be made available to the bu-
Fix this textreau forecasters.
Fix this textThe ATP has a holistic approach to
Fix this texttechnology and the emphasis is on
Fix this textlinking industry with research and
Fix this texteducation.
Fix this textUNSW’s involvement with the
Fix this textpark has been to promote re-
Fix this textsearch that has commercial
Fix this textpotential. CEMAP has been
Fix this texthighly successful and productive
Fix this textsince its establishment at the ATP
Fix this texta year ago.
Fix this textThe financial gains are recycled
Fix this textback to UNSW where the funds
Fix this textare used for additional postgradu-
Fix this textates, postdoctorates and
Fix this textemploying research staff.
Fix this text“CEMAP recognises the growing
Fix this textimportance of understanding that
Fix this textthe world’s resources are finite,
Fix this textfragile, and need to be nurtured so
Fix this textthat they can be sustained,” Profes-
Fix this textsor Leslie said.
Fix this text“In order to do that we need to un-
Fix this textderstand the world’s processes and
Fix this texthopefully the ideal situation is to
Fix this textbe able to predict what is likely to
Fix this textoccur in the future.”

Fix this textName the Squarehouse
Fix this textThe Squarehouse is being re-
Fix this textdeveloped to house the
Fix this textFunctions and Conference
Fix this textCentre and the UNSW Union is
Fix this textseeking suggestions for a new name.
Fix this textThe Squarehouse will comprise 10
Fix this textrooms, three of which will be new as
Fix this textthey replace the current Union Bar.
Fix this textThe rooms will be refurbished, mak-
Fix this texting them more appealing and
Fix this textfunctional than at present.
Fix this textThe new name should reflect the
Fix this textfollowing image: professional staff
Fix this textand service, quality “total” pack-
Fix this textage to prospective clients,
Fix this textcompetitive pricing, professional
Fix this textbusiness centre available for use
Fix this textby clients, and originality.
Fix this textThe competition closes Tuesday,
Fix this text15 September at spm.
Fix this textThe winner will receive a case of
