NCTU Geodesy Visit (2006)

In December 2006 I have visited National Chiao Tong University, Hsinchu,Taiwan. Hsinchu is about 90 km from Taipei and it took about one hour drive to reach NCTU. I was there for two weeks working at Space Geodesy Laboratory hosted by Prof Cheinway Hwang. The Space Geodesy Lab is a division under Civil Engineering Department, NCTU and is headed by Prof Cheinway. Dr Cheinway is an expert in physical geodesy particularly on geoid computation, satellite altimetry and marine gravity.

ISG 2006 Shah Alam

I have attended the ISG 2006 held at Sheraton Hotel Shah Alam hosted by Uitm Dept of Surveying Science. ISG 2006 stands for International Symposium & Exhibition on Geoinformation held on September 2006. My participation is through presentation of a paper entitled "The adjustment of regional levelling network using in-house developed software".  The paper described about the implementation of least-squares adjustment for levelling network using MoreFix. I have developed MoreFix as a result of many years of effort writing the software using Fortran.

1st IGFS Turkey (2006)

In 2006 besides Wuhan Hotine-Marussi there is another geodesy symposium organized by IAG - The first international symposium of the International Gravity Field Service (IGFS) was held August 28 - September 1, in Istanbul Turkey. This was the first symposium of the International Gravity Field Service (IGFS) of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), and it continues the series of symposia of the former International Gravity and Geoid Commission. IGFS is a new unified "umbrella" IAG service with its overall goal is to coordinate the servicing of the geodetic and geophysical community with gravity field-related data, software and information.

A total of 78 papers have been submitted to appear in this symposium proceedings. The proceedings can be downloaded from here - igfs. Rene Forsberg (President of IGFS) and Bihter Erol (member of LOC) played major role in organizing IGFS 2006.
