It is almost time for the scientific assembly of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), an association of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). The EGU Geodesy Division and the IAG have worked together for many years. For example, the IAG has been the main sponsor of the Geodesy Reception at past EGU General Assemblies. Besides this, the IAG coordinates global geodetic ...[Read More]
Summer vacations are finally here! Like every year, many of us are ready to travel and explore new and exciting destinations. And of course, the GPS on our phones will be an indispensable travel companion! Did you know that GPS (or GNSS) positioning is one of the traditional geodetic techniques? Come along to discover how this technique can find your location in the world and the various applicati ...[Read More]
When we think of Earth’s rotation, it is tempting to imagine a perfectly smooth spin. But in reality, Earth’s rotation is irregular and dynamic, and is influenced by forces inside and outside of our planet. To describe the changing orientation of the Earth in space over time Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) are measured with fundamental geodetic measuring techniques, e.g., Very Long Baseline In ...[Read More]
