In my previous blog post, I wrote about the famous voyage of Professor Vening Meinesz aboard the submarine K-XVIII. At 30 meters underneath the surface, Vening Meinesz would observe the gravity field of Earth with a pendulum apparatus called the Golden Calf. In this post, I would like to discuss a different voyage the professor took part in. Normally the Dutch submarines took the Suez Canal to sai ...[Read More]

In the previous post of this series, we learned how we can use satellite radar altimetry to retrieve highly accurate estimates of global sea level changes. If only reading “sea level” triggers your climate anxiety – we got you covered! In this post we will introduce you to three more applications of radar altimetry, where the first two are not directly connected to climate change. Instead, w ...[Read More]

Meet the ECS team: Your Go-To Contacts for EGU General Assembly 2024

Öykü Koç April 11, 2024

Hey there dear geodesy ECSs, EGU is right around the corner. We wanted to check in and make sure that you are navigating around a bit better. Maybe you are not sure who to ask about the ECS dinner, networking opportunities at GA, or how to get involved with our team or within EGU, or you simply need help. Well, wonder no more! Allow us to introduce ourselves – we’re the Geodesy ECS (Early Ca ...[Read More]

Welcome to the first of its kind, the Geotandem 01! A collaborative series between EGU divisions. Interdisciplinarity is intrinsic to Geosciences, so we want to showcase how researchers approach the same topics from different but also complementing perspectives. In each edition, we will bring you a high-interest topic for the community seen from the eyes of diverse disciplines. Today, the Tectonic ...[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.
