The Canadian Geophysical Union (CGU) announces the opening of abstract submissions for the 2026 Scientific Meeting, to be held May 24–27, 2026, in Halifax, Canada. The Geodesy Section will offer a comprehensive program covering advances in gravity field modelling, geoid and height system modernization, GNSS/GNSS-IR, InSAR, geodynamics, deformation monitoring, satellite missions, and innovations in gravimetry. International contributions from the IAG community are encouraged. Travel support for students and Early Career Researchers is available. The abstract submission deadline is January 10, 2026.

The 2025 Geodesy Virtual School focused on reference frames and Earth system monitoring, held in five free online sessions coordinated from Argentina with support from SIRGAS, IAG, IUGG, and others. It featured 37 instructors and global participation, especially from the Americas. All lectures, in English or Spanish with subtitles, are available online, promoting inclusive, high-quality geodetic training worldwide.

We are excited to announce the official launch of the new IAG website geodesy.science. This launch marks a major milestone for the IAG and reflects our ambition to make geodesy more visible, accessible, and connected — both within the scientific…
