Dr. Indishe Senanayake obtained his BSc Engineering (Hons) and MPhil degrees from the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. After graduation, he worked as a lecturer at his alma mater and as a research engineer at the Arthur C Clarke Institute for Modern Technologies, Sri Lanka. He obtained his PhD degree in environmental engineering from the University of Newcastle, Australia, in 2020. He currently works as a research associate at the University of Newcastle, Australia. His research interests include spatial data applications (remote sensing and GIS) in multidisciplinary areas, soil–water–vegetation interactions, and landform evolution.
In-Young Yeo is an Associate Professor of Civil, Surveying, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Newcastle (UoN). Before joining UoN in 2015, she taught at Ohio State University, Cornell University, and the University of Maryland (USA). She is primarily interested in understanding the interface of land and water systems where the human and physical systems interact and evolve together. Her research focuses on elucidating the drivers, changes, consequences, and feedback loops between these two systems under climate change and human development pressure. With broad educational training and working experience, she has developed and taught several courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Previously, she led the program redesign and development of BEng/MPEng in Surveying and Geospatial Engineering at UoN for the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment (FEBE), significantly contributed to the development of the Professional Master Program in Geospatial Information Sciences (University of Maryland, USA), and served as University Delegate to the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI, USA) and to the University Consortium of Geographic Information Science (UCGIS, USA). She is currently on the educational committee with the Surveying & Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI) NSW.
