Space Geodesy Pioneer

GIM International Interviews Reiner Rummel
The field of geodesy is changing dramatically. The recent decades’ developments – not only GPS and INSAR but also the Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) mission carried out by the European Space Agency – have immensely altered both how professional surveyors, researchers and developers are regarded and how they work. Professor Reiner Rummel, co-initiator of GOCE mission which is measuring the gravity field from space, observes that geodesists tend to be modest and that it is mostly others who harvest the fruits of their labours in this field. Now partially retired, professor Rummel reflects on the past... (read more)

Geodesy and Software Training

Blue Marble Geographics is to organise the Applied Geodesy and Software Training on 27th October in Houston, TX. This public training is being offered in concert with their free second annual user conference the following day.  Blue Marble has a long track record of training surveyors and GIS users about the intricacies of geodetics, including coordinate systems, projections, datums, and other essential concepts, through applied hands-on software training. These daylong sessions are in-depth training courses of the fundamentals of geodesy based on Blue Marble's toolkit of powerful data conversion applications. This course is an introduction to geodesy and the Geographic... (read more)

What is Geodesy?

Geodesy: the definition, pronunciation, information and more. Definition The classical definition of geodesy [pronunciation: jee-od-uh-see] is that it is the science concerned with the shape, size, and the gravity field of the Earth. However, geodesy today is much more than that. Nowadays, it is a geoscience that deals with: monitoring the solid Earth (displacement, subsidence or deformation of the ground and structures due to tectonic, volcanic and other natural phenomena as well as human activity); monitoring variations in the liquid Earth (sea-level rise, ice sheets, mesoscale surface topography features, mass transport); monitoring variations in the Earth's rotation (polar motion, the length of the day); monitoring the atmosphere...

Gyrocopter for Geodesy and Surveillance

Due to massive price pressure on service providers of airborne data on the one hand and the decreasing budgets of customers like surveillance companies, public authorities, insurance companies, scientific institutes and others on the other hand, the Munich company DiNelly Aerosystems has developed a gyrocopter especially for application fields like geodesy, reconnaissance and surveillance. With a special view on topics like optimised lightweight construction, space volume, cost structure, versatility and easy handling this new conceived aircraft is outstanding. This gyrocopter will be certified in Germany as UL (ultralight) with an empty weight of less than 265kg / 560kg MTOW. The... (read more)

Modern Geodesy: Formula 1 Geospatial

GIM International Interviews Chris Rizos
Chris Rizos, new president of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), is advocating ‘modern geodesy' and a stronger, more visible role for the IAG. GIM International met Rizos in an early June Cape Town, where he was addressing a crowd of South African surveyors at AfricaGeo, just two weeks after starting his journey to one of the most northern countries of the continent, Marrakech, Morocco, to join the FIG Working Week.   How important is it for you to be in Africa? It's very important. Geodesy is much more a global enterprise than, for instance, photogrammetric or SDI activities. The... (read more)
