Way too early on a Saturday morning in late June 2023 I woke up and started my travel to a small airport in Akureyri, North-East Iceland. This is the location of an Icelandic charter company called Norlandair that we used for our airborne geophysical surveys and logistic operations in the Arctic. For a few months I had been preparing a survey to test a new quantum-based technology for airbo ...[Read More]

Are you ready to hear from another woman in geodesy? We pass the mic to our Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awardee of 2018, someone who is currently carrying out her scientific works outside of academia. We are not going to take that much of your time and leave the stage to her. Would you like to share your thoughts about what being a woman in science means to you? I enjoy being a scientist be ...[Read More]

About

Welcome to the blog of the Geodesy Division of the European Geosciences Union. The blog serves to keep you posted on current research, news from the division and interesting geodesy-related topics in general. It will also give room to feature young (early-career) scientists and their science. An enthusiastic team of (Early Career) Scientists (ECS) runs the blog. Are you interested in writing a blog entry or learning more about the ECS activities of the geodesy division? Please get in touch with the Editor-in-Chief, Rebekka Steffen, or the ECS Geodesy (G) Representative Öykü Koç and ECS G Co-Representative Marius Schlaak.
