IAG 112 - Geodesy & Physics of the Earth


IAG 112 Symposia on Geodesy and Physics of the Earth is the proceeding of the 7th International Symposium "Geodesy and Physics of the Earth". The symposium was held in Potsdam in October 1992 hosted by newly established GFZ. The proceedings was convened and edited by Horst Montag and Christoph Reigber both of GFZ.

IAG 111 - Recent Geodetic and Gravimetric Research in Latin America


IAG 111 is themed "Recent Geodetic and Gravimetric Research in Latin America". This book is a proceedings of the lAG Symposium "Second Joint Symposium of the International Association of Geodesy and the Pan-American Institute of Geography and History". The symposium was held during IUGG General Assembly in Vienna in August 1991.  The proceedings was convened and edited by Wolfgang Torge. Altogether 20 scientific contributions were given at the Symposium under the following sessions;
  1. Geodetic and Gravimetric Control in Latin America
  2. Regional Gravity and Geoid Determination
  3. Geodynamic Research Projects

IAG 110 - From Mars to Greenland


IAG Symposia 110 themed sounds very catchy "From Mars to Greenland: Charting gravity with space and airborne instruments". This book was published as proceedings of the Symposium on the Determination of the Gravity Field by Space and Airborne Methods held in Vienna in August 1991. The proceedings was edited by Oscar Colombo of Goddard Space Flight Center, Maryland, USA.

TA Clarke PhD 1991


Another PhD work on surveying technology was submitted and this one is to City Univ in 1991 (besides work by TJM Kennie also in 1991). TA Clarke work on "Application of optical techniques to surveying" submitted to Dept of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering, City University.

The thesis addressed the problem of acquiring spatial data concerning points on the surface of structures such as underground tunnels and sewers. These data can usually provide knowledge of deformation, shape, area, volume, and position of structures.

The work was done at time where TLS is still not available yet.

IAG 109 - Permanent Satellite Tracking Networks (1993)


IAG 109 is the Symposium on Permanent Satellite Tracking Networks for Geodesy and Geodynamics. These proceedings include many of the papers presented at the Symposium on Permanent Satellite Tracking Network for Geodesy and Geophysics held in Vienna Austria, August 1991, as part of the IUGG General Assembly and IAG Meeting. The symposium was convened to promote the establishment of an International GPS Service under the auspices of the lAG. Gerald Mader of Geosciences Laboratory Maryland, USA convened and edited the proceedings of the symposium. The symposia also led to the establishment of IGS.


IAG 109 (published in 1993)

The proceeding starts with a long report by Ivan I Muller "Planning an International Service Using the GPS for Geodynamic application"
