Canada: Height Modernization 2009/2010
Submitted by Bente Lilja Bye on 28 July 2008 - 9:46am.Height Reference System Modernization
Natural Resources Canada has decided to improve their height reference system. This is the basis for both mapping and many other societal areas including climate change monitoring and science.
Looks like we have ice on Mars
Submitted by Bente Lilja Bye on 20 June 2008 - 9:03am.I've seen the pictures from Mars. Clearly indicating that something is disappearing from the crate left after a second scoop by Phoenix. I don't wish to be a party pooper, but could it also have been the wind that removed the lumps in the crate?
It is however fantastic if it really is ice. And it might well be just that.
Phoenix Mars Lander and geodesy
Submitted by Bente Lilja Bye on 26 May 2008 - 11:57am.Phoenix Mars Lander as well as knowledge about Mars itself depend on geodesy, in particular planetary geodesy. I will put together a piece on that shortly...
Introduction To Geodesy
Submitted by Bente Lilja Bye on 17 January 2008 - 7:26am. Earth ScienceGeodesy is the science of determining the geometry, gravity field, and rotation of the Earth and their evolution in time. Traditionally, geodesy has been serving other sciences and has had many societal applications, including mapping.
With the advent of satellite, geodesy itself developed into a science, making unique contributions to the study of the Earth system, its inherit dynamics, and its response to climate change, as well as a tool underpinning a wide variety of other remote sensing techniques. Facilitated by Global Navigation Satellite Systems such as GPS, a wide and growing set of applications associated with positioning and navigation is opening up.
