Dear all,
As the UK representative to the IAG, one of my duties is to produce a 4-yearly report to the IAG of geodetic research activities in the UK, which will be published online as a PDF document. I now invite your contributions to this, for research activities (summarised) and outputs (bibliographic details) during calendar years 2011-2014 inclusive.
For information, the previous reports (ably prepared by David Baker prior to 2010 and available in the geodesy@jiscmail file area at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/filearea.cgi?LMGT1=GEODESY) were divided into the following topics. This list is tailored to our recent activities, not the IAG's structure, and can be augmented or reduced as necessary:
1. Satellite Laser Ranging
2. Global Navigation Satellite Systems
2a. Atmospheric Studies
2b. Engineering Applications
3. National and Continental Networks
4. Integrated Systems and Inertial Navigation Systems
5. Satellite Altimetry
6. Synthetic Aperture Radar
7. Satellite Orbit and Gravity Field Determination
8. Gravity Surveys
9. Theoretical Geodesy, Earth Tides, Earth Rotation and Miscellaneous Gravimetric Studies
10. Geoid Determination
11. Deformation Monitoring
12. Mean Sea Level Studies
13. Geophysical, Glaciological, and Oceanographic Applications of GNSS
14. Law of the Sea / Vertical Datums
Please indicate which of these areas your contributions fall closest to, and any suggestions for alternative categorisation. It will assist greatly if submissions are provided as Word-compatible documents with similar formatting to that used in the previous reports.
To act as a resource which we might all find useful in the future, I have created a group 'UK Geodesy' on Mendeley for people to publish details of any outputs arising from geodetic research in UK institutions.
https://www.mendeley.com/groups/6981891/uk-geodesy/
From this I will be able to extract the bibliography for the report. If you aren't registered on Mendeley and don't wish to, please just send me a list of DOIs of the outputs (or full bibliographic details if there is no DOI), and I will get them added.
Please provide your submissions, together with contact person and email address (to be included in the report), by email to me with the subject 'IAG geodesy report', by the end of May.
Thanks and best regards,
Pete.
