Room -2.62

Get to know the basics of geodesy and the types of data it provides. From GNSS signals to gravity measurements, geodetic observations play an important role in Earth sciences by supporting research in various disciplines (e.g., hydrology, glaciology, geodynamics, oceanography, seismology). This short course will give you an introduction to what geodesy can (and can’t) tell us. You don’t need to be a geodesist to join and by the end, you won’t be an expert either, but we do hope that you have gained more knowledge about the limitations as well as advantages of geodetic data. The crash course is designed and taught by scientists from the Geodesy division, and open to anyone curious about how geodesists work as well as for researchers already handling geodetic data. We hope to have a lively discussion during the short course. And if you’re a geodesist, this is your chance to hear directly what scientists from other disciplines need when working with your data.

The oral presentations are given in a hybrid format supported by a Zoom meeting featuring on-site and virtual presentations. The button to access the Zoom meeting appears just before the time block starts.
