Open Lecture on Gravity & Geoid (2014)

I have presented an open lecture entitled "Gravity and Geoid: The intricacies of height datum" on June 12, 2014 held at Lecture Room 4, C03, FGHT UTM. The lecture was organized by the Geomatic Postgraduate Students Association and was attended by a number of postgraduate students from GNSS & Geodynamic (G&G) research group.

Tajuk Berpotential GDA

Bagi yang meminati GDA ada sebuah tajuk yang boleh diusahakan sebagai projek kajian. Artikel berikut boleh diguna sebagai asas – ‘A rigorous and user friendly algorithm for global congruency test in geodetic deformation analysis. Kajian asal oleh Krzysztof Nowel dari Olsztyn, Poland. Paper kajian ini telah dibentang 2018 Baltic Geodetic Congress.

Berikut adalah extract paragraf kesimpulan artikel di atas:

Today, identification of stable PRPs in geodetic control networks is often done by GCT approach. Unfortunately, two conventional rigorous algorithms are not easy to use. As a consequence, its simplified forms are often used in practice or implementation mistakes can happen. In the light of the above, a new algorithm was proposed in this paper. This algorithm does not require a problematic decomposition step and, as such, can be easier to use in practice.
