EGU Campfire Geodesy – Share Your Research – 13th Edition

We are excited to announce the 13th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in November. 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, Maciej Michalczak and Alex Lăpădat. Below, you can find the details of the topics awaiting us. We will have time to network after the presentations.

Please join us on Zoom on 23rd October from 16:00 a.m. to 17:30 a.m. (CEST). Register for this webinar here.

Maciej Michalczak @ AGH University of Krakow: Short-term prediction of Earth Rotation Parameters

Maciej Michalczak holds a PhD in Geodesy and Cartography from the AGH University of Krakow. His research focuses on developing and adapting tools for predicting Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP), using both geostatistical methods and time series analysis, and incorporating additional information to enhance prediction accuracy. He is also working on a fully automated system for real-time EOP forecasting. Together with his team, he participated in the 2nd Earth Orientation Parameters Prediction Comparison Campaign.

Alex Lăpădat @ TU Delft, Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning department: Integration of InSAR, GNSS & Extensometers for in depth analysis of coastal subsidence. A case study of Jakarta

Alex Lăpădat is a Doctoral Candidate in the Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning group at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. His research focuses on disentangling the interaction between land and sea changes through the integration of modern geodetic techniques and infrastructure design. In this Campfire edition, Alex will discuss how defining an appropriate InSAR datum can influence Point Scatterer–based land subsidence studies, and how integrating multiple techniques can improve estimates of the absolute motion of InSAR reference points. The case study centers on Jakarta—one of the world’s fastest sinking megacities—where land subsidence combined with sea-level rise drives recurrent hazardous tidal flooding. Could new geodetic infrastructures help us not only measure but truly understand these changes? The talk will also address groundwater extraction as a root cause by exploring the potential of GNSS extensometry, and will argue that with the right infrastructure and methodological integration, geodesy can help explain not only what is happening in terms of land subsidence, but also why.

Time to connect!

After the presentations, we invite everyone in the audience to turn on their camera and microphones, if possible. Participation via the chat is of course also possible. We will start with a short introduction round to get an idea of who is in the room. So if you like to, you can already think about how to summarise your research in a few words so that mortals can also understand it! We’re also open to hear about your favourite dinosaur, your latest burnout, or the 4th element on your tasks list today. Just be there and be talking, we guarantee for the awkwardness.

We are always looking for speakers for upcoming Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research”. Are you interested in giving a talk? Then, please express your interest by filling out the form: https://forms.gle/tc2vwGehHHb8THrJ7

If you have any questions about the Geodesy EGU Campfire Event, please contact the Geodesy ECS Team via ecs-g@egu.eu.

We look forward to seeing you at the Campfire!
