The Contribution of Satellite Geodesy to Geosciences (Sigl 1984)


Prof Sigl menulis satu artikel awal tentang perkembangan teknologi satellite dan sumbangannya kepada geodesi. Beliau menyampaikan syarahan artikel "The Contribution of Satellite Geodesy to Geosciences" di IUGG Hamburg 1983. Artikel ini berikutnya diterbit oleh Springer dalam GeoJournal Vol 8, No 4, 1984.

Pada ketika itu Doppler masih diguna pakai manakala GPS masih dalam peringkat awal pelancaran. Teknologi satelit altimeter sudah beroperasi dengan adanya Seasat. Namun wujud pula masalah pada Seasat dan semua sedang menunggu pembangunan serta pelancaran altimeter ERS-1.
