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]
We are excited to announce the 19th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in April. 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, Yuting Cheng and Hamed Izadgoshasb. Below, you can find the …[Read More]
Thank you all for an amazing EGU General Assembly (GA) this year! If you missed EGU26 or some of the events we organised, here’s a recap so you can stop wondering how it went and get an idea of what to expect next year and connect with us through our channels to stay updated. As …[Read More]
Part 2 – the regional case In our previous post, we discussed global scale phenomena, showing how the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) constellation is the ultimate instrument for monitoring the Earth as a whole: tracking plate tectonics, defining the planet’s absolute size, and measuring variations of its gravity field. Essentially, the big questions of …[Read More]
It’s this time of the year again when we all meet up in Vienna and talk about our latest scientific results and, more importantly, network with old and new colleagues. The EGU General Assembly (GA) EGU26 will take place again in a hybrid format. The scientific programme consists, as usual, of oral and poster presentations, …[Read More]
Greenland, the world’s largest island, has one of the most challenging environments for geodetic measurements. Maintaining GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) stations here isn’t just about precision – it’s about ensuring data continuity in an area that’s constantly moving. This is the behind-the-scenes story of a 15,000 km journey around Greenland: five weeks of …[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 18th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in April. 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, David Rodríguez Collantes and Klara Middendorf. Below, you can find …[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 17th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in March. 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, Hugo Lecomte and Marius Schlaak. Below, you can find the …[Read More]
During winter, mountains gain mass because of snow covering the peaks. In spring, the snow melts and flows downstream until it reaches the ocean or evaporates into the atmosphere to reach back on the surface as rain or snow. The global water cycle is very complex and essential for life on our planet. Did you …[Read More]
Doing a PhD is a challenge in itself. Doing it in another country, away from family and friends, is even harder. Handling the requirements of academia while adjusting to a new culture, language, and way of life can be overwhelming at times. But, doing a PhD abroad is not defined by challenges alone. A new …[Read More]
