We are excited to announce the 23rd edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in October. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Saqib Mehdi and Laura Giaccio. Below, you can find the …[Read More]
What if we brought all four major space-geodetic techniques together on a single spacecraft for the first time? ESA’s Genesis mission, expected to launch in 2028, will do just that, combining Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), DORIS and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) on one carefully calibrated platform. Well before launch, …[Read More]
You are observing the construction of a bridge that will be initiated on the two banks of a river simultaneously, in such a way that the works will eventually meet in the middle of the river. You wonder, how do they make sure that the construction on the two sides will stay aligned with the …[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 22nd edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in September. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Brian Bramanto and Arash Tayfehrostami. Below, you can find the …[Read More]
The research gap Ocean tides play a significant role on ocean circulation, coastal processes and mass variations. Tides are generated from the gravitational interaction between Earth, Moon and Sun, which typically results in two high and two low tides observed each day. Satellite observations have vastly expanded our understanding of ocean tides. In 2022, the Surface …[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 21st edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in August. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Shrishail Raut and Michal Cuadrat-Grzybowski. Below, you can find the details …[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 20th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in July. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Pierre Sakic and Iwona Kudłacik. Below, you can find the …[Read More]
Imagine determining the position of a point on Earth with millimeter precision using radio signals from celestial objects billions of light-years away. This may sound like science fiction, but it is exactly what Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) allows scientists to do. What is VLBI? Long before satellites and digital maps, people looked to the …[Read More]
Geodesy is fundamental to understanding our dynamic planet. From monitoring sea-level rise and glacier melt to maintaining precise terrestrial reference frames for GNSS and Earth observation, geodesy provides the scientific backbone for many disciplines represented within the EGU and beyond. Despite its importance, geodesy often remains invisible outside the scientific community. Even within geosciences, many people …[Read More]
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are best known for positioning, navigation, and monitoring Earth surface motions with high precision (see two of our previous posts on GNSS here and here). But did you know that the same satellite signals can also provide information about snow, soil moisture, or sea level, without installing any additional instruments? …[Read More]
