WEGENER 2023

Dear geoscientists, dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the 20th WEGENER Assembly 2023 (WEGENER-20) will be organized by the National Office of Mines (ONM, Geological Survey of Tunisia) from 24 to 27 October 2023 in Sousse, Tunisia.

The ONM has shown a substantial interest in the processing of GNSS data and the geodynamic study of Tunisia since 2019.

The 20th Assembly of Wegener will be held in collaboration with the National Institute of Meteorology (INM, in charge of Seismology) and the Office of Topography and Cadastre (OTC, in charge of Geodesy), with support from the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), the International Association of Seismology (IASPEI) and the North African Group for Earthquake and Tsunami studies (NAGET).

This assembly aims to gather geo-scientists and share recent progress in space geodesy (GPS and InSAR) and knowledge in seismo-geodesy, deformation of volcanic fields. A special attention will be devoted to the implications for the seismic hazard and risk reduction to foster discussion and new proposals for joint research projects.

WEGENER-20 is looking forward to cordially welcoming you in Sousse… Your participation in-person or virtually will support WEGENER’s mission of ensuring a sustainable future for humanity in the region and for the planet.

Join us for a memorable experience!

Important deadlines:

  • Abstract submission deadline: July 15, 2023
  • Registration deadline: August 15, 2023

Yours sincerely,

The Local Organizing Committee

The new GGOS Focus Area – AI for Geodesy

,

On May 12, 2023, the GGOS Goordinating Board accepted the proposal to establish a new GGOS Focus Area on Artificial Intelligence for Geodesy (AI4G). In general, it will utilize methods from the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), including machine learning techniques, to improve geodetic observations and products. This new GGOS Focus Area will be chaired by Benedikt Soja (Switzerland) together with his vice-chair Maria Kaselimi (Greece). If you are interested to contribute to this new Focus Area, pleas contact Benedikt Soja. If you want to read more information, please visit the official Focus Area AI4G website:
