Review of The Plains Cree: Trade, Diplomacy and War, 1790- 1870.

John Milloy\u27s examination of the Plains Cree fits in with the growing concern for presenting histories that are not based on the European perspective but focus on events and issues relevant to a particular group\u27s past. Although he is not a native, Milloy\u27s portrayal of the Plains Cree\u27s political and economic relations with neighboring tribes is a good example of how a native perspective can give new insight into historical events. For example, he points out that while the Red River area is important to fur trade historians, at other places in the West significant events were occurring in the course of Indian history and, in particular, Cree history

Finding the right rabbit to pull out of the hat: data management in CSIRO

CSIRO is one of the world’s largest and most diverse research agencies with staff located literally from one end of Australia to the other as well as internationally. As both a creator and a consumer of research data, CSIRO faces considerable data management challenges. To this end, the development of the CSIRO Data Management Service (DMS) Repository is a pivotal step in the right direction for managing CSIRO-generated data, third-party data and establishing vital links with research community portals such as Research Data Australia and the Atlas of Living Australia. From metadata mapping to collector and conversion tools, this presentation will discuss the experiences of the CSIRO Information Management & Technology (IM&T) team in applying new services and technologies to address the challenges of discovering, exchanging and re-using research data

Automated Processing and Analysis of Galactic Neutral Hydrogen Absorption Observations

In this research project I analysed the composition and structure of the cold neutral hydrogen (H i) gas at the locations of the MAGMO (Mapping the Galactic Magnetic field through OH masers) survey observations. To enable this analysis I developed an automated pipeline and used that to produce H i absorption and emission spectra from the MAGMO observations. This pipeline was designed with the aim of being applicable to future large surveys such as GASKAP, the Galactic Australian SKA Pathfinder survey. The MAGMO observations targeted the sites of 6.7-GHz methanol masers, which are associated with star-forming regions. These very active regions have complex structures with bubbles formed by stellar winds from young, high mass stars. In these regions it is reasonable to expect there will be significant reserves of cold gas. The MAGMO H i dataset provided an excellent opportunity to examine the cold neutral medium (CNM) towards these regions and to compare it with the overall CNM population. In Chapter 2 I provide a summary of the current knowledge of the Milky Way’s cold H i gas and an introduction to other topics which will assist the reader in understanding the analysis. Chapter 3 provides a detailed description of the data, and the pipeline developed for its analysis. This is more detailed than is typical in order to explain the decisions in developing the automated processing. In Chapter 4 I provide the results from the observations. In Chapter 5 I compare the results to results from similar studies, discuss the overall findings and assess the effectiveness of the processing pipeline. Finally in Chapter 6 I summarise the main findings and discuss future potential for both this data set and the processing pipeline
