When compiling reading materials on geoid in Australia we surely encountered papers jointly written by Kearsley and Govind. For instance "Geoid evaluation in Australia - status and problems" paper presented at Geoid Symposium 1990 (source - springer). Another paper is Kearsley & Govind (1991) "Geoid evaluation in Australia" published in Australian Surveyor. Dr Ramesh Govind is now a Senior Lecturer at Division of Geomatics, Uni of Cape Town.
He is in the process of establishing a global analysis centre at UCT for undertaking high precision, multi-technique space geodesy data computation and analysis – contributing to international programs – through the international services for Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), the French DORIS system, GNSS, and VLBI (using radio astronomy measurements).

Geodesists Ramesh Govind
Short bio of Govind taken from UCT source;
Govind, who was born and grew up in Durban, left South Africa for exile in 1982 after completing a degree in surveying from the University of Natal. He moved to Australia, where he completed a master's degree in space and gravimetric geodesy at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, followed a few years later by a PhD in Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado. After his PhD, he returned to Australia and contributed to the space geodesy effort there.
