The Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) is an international initiative led by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). By integrating geodetic observations from around the world, GGOS enables the monitoring of Earth’s shape, gravity field, and rotation. This system is fundamental for advancing scientific research, supporting navigation, and enhancing disaster management capabilities (more info in https://ggos.org/)
Within the GGOS framework, the GGOS IberAtlantic (GGOS IA) operates as a regional node, concentrating on geodetic activities and infrastructure in the Iberian Peninsula and the Atlantic region. GGOS IA not only fosters collaboration among geodetic institutions but also drives scientific advancements and technological development tailored to the region’s unique geophysical characteristics (more info in ggos-iberatlantic)
Complementing this effort is the RAEGE (Red Atlântica de Estações Geodinâmicas e Espaciais) project, which establishes a cutting-edge network of geodetic and space observatories across the Azores, Canary Islands, and Iberian Peninsula. RAEGE supports geodetic and astronomical research while bolstering Europe’s global geodetic infrastructure, directly contributing to the goals of both GGOS and GGOS IA (more info in https://raege.eu/)
The 1st GGOS IA Summer School offers a unique educational opportunity focused on GGOS-related topics. Over five days, participants will engage in theoretical and practical sessions covering techniques such as VLBI, GNSS, SLR, DORIS, Gravimetry, and Local Tie measurements. The event will showcase the RAEGE project and provide hands-on exposure to operations in fundamental geodetic stations worldwide, including data post-processing and analysis. Additionally, the program fosters networking not only with peers who share similar academic interests but also with experienced professionals, providing valuable insights into real-world applications and expertise in geodetic sciences.
