CGU joins IGC 2028 in Calgary (Aug 12–20). Submit Geomatics & Geodesy sessions (gravity, GNSS, tectonics, hydrology, sea level) by March 2027 to highlight geodesy’s role in global challenges.

New IAG Publications | Geodesist’s Handbook 2024 & IAG Travaux 2023–2025

, , , , , , , , , , , ,
The IAG has released two flagship open-access references: the Geodesist’s Handbook 2024 and the IAG Travaux Report 2023–2025. The Handbook presents IAG statutes, structure, officers, and planned scientific activities, while the Travaux documents scientific and organizational progress across all IAG components. Both volumes provide DOIs for the full work and for each chapter, supporting precise citation and strengthening the international visibility of IAG activities.

A new atomic clock in space could help us measure elevations on Earth

, , , , , ,
What if we could measure height differences on Earth to the centimeter from space? ESA’s ACES mission on the ISS links ultra-precise atomic clocks in orbit with those on Earth — enabling more accurate global elevation data. This could transform geodesy and help refine height reference systems worldwide.
