Last years INTERGEO in Berlin was an interesting experience for a newbie in the world of geodesy like I am. This year I will also attend the INTERGEO in Stuttgart. It will take place from the 15th to the 17th of September. This year’s main points: The spotlight will be on Geospatial 4.0, the digital economy, transformation through digitization, big data, the Internet of Things, digital infrastructures and smart cities. INTERGEO is all about “space”: gathering, storing, [...]

Just recently the Geographic Institute of Guatemala launched a new web geoportal for maps of Guatemala. According to an article published by GIM International, the new service, "provides open access to more than 20 thematic layers on topics such as geodesy, vegetation cover, land use, geology, hydrology and road network, among others." Additionally, they report that, "The services use Geoserver and Geoexplorer, and were developed with support from the GeoSUR Program and PAIGH, with funding [...]

T36: New Constraints on Active Fault Zones from Integration of Laser Scanning, Satellite Interferometry and other Earth Imaging Methods
Convergence between geodesy, geospatial, earth imaging and geophysical technologies are enabling new insights into active deformation zones. We invite scientists who are integrating these tools and data [...]
Earlier this month a National Research Council report entitled Precise Geodetic Infrastructure: National Requirements for a Shared Resource was published via the National Academies Press. The report, authored by the National Research Council’s Committee on the National Requirements for Precision Geodetic Infrastructure and the Committee on Seismology and Geodynamics, is freely available in PDF format.
The emphasis of the report is on:
Recognizing the growing reliance of a wide [...]

Sunday I was in the Deutsches Museum in Munich, which has halls and halls full of scientific instruments and explanations, some more interesting than others. I liked the historical instruments the most, such as the Magdeburg spheres. There was one hall dedicated to geodesy, measuring the size and shape of the earth, and the surveying of its surface, from the use of chains and compasses to total stations to gps.The Berkeley Seismo blog has a nice entry on the movement in South [...]
The Sierra Negra volcano, located on Isabela Island of the Galapagos, is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Scientists from the fields of volcanology, geodesy, and seismology teamed up to install instruments which will collect data from the
