Part 1 – the global case When you check directions on your smartphone or track your morning run, you’re tapping into a global infrastructure that has revolutionized not just navigation, but our understanding of Earth itself. What began as military technology has evolved into powerful scientific tools that confirm longstanding theories and reveal previously unobservable phenomena. In th ...[Read More]
Effective scientific communication of geodetic research often relies on clear visualizations, and colours are needed to make complex data much easier to understand. However, traditional colormaps don’t always provide the needed clarity and can be especially challenging for people with colour-vision deficiencies (CVD). In this post, we will first describe what CVD is and how it is present in academ ...[Read More]
Summer is coming to an end in the northern hemisphere, and it usually signals the end of the field season – at least in northern Europe. During the field season, we mostly take our absolute gravimeter (we call her Greta) to measure gravity at various locations across Sweden. Occasionally, we even take Greta to other countries – but that’s a story for another time. Who is G ...[Read More]
Today, we are going to talk a little bit about dual-use, particularly in the context of geodesy. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, dual-use refers to the application of knowledge, information, data, products, or technology in ways that may deviate from their original scientific intent, often leading to ethical challenges. These challenges arise from the lack of control over who uses the da ...[Read More]
