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 Symposia Proceedings (1991 - 1994)

IAG has made effort with accordance of the new editing policy that the Proceedings of IAG Symposia are now published by Springer Verlag. This new procedure was already used for the publication of several Symposia (101 to 108). The following proceedings has been published since Vienna meeting;

109 Permanent Satellite Tracking Networks for Geodesy and Geodynamics, Vienna, 1991
110 From Mars to Greenland: charting gravity with Space and Airborne Instruments, Vienna, 1991
111 Recent Geodetic and Gravimetric Research in Latin America, Vienna, 1991
112 Geodesy and Physics of the Earth, Potsdam, 1992
113 Gravity and Geoid, Graz, 1994
114 Geodetic Theory Today, L’Acquila, Italy 1994

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"

IAG 108 - Applications of Geodesy to Engineering

IAG 108 is a proceedings of the symposia of Applications of Geodesy to Engineering. The proceedings was convened and edited by Klaus Linkwitz, Viktor Eisele and Hans-Joachim Monicke. Linkwitz and Monicke are both from Stuttgart University while Eisele is with Landesvermessungsamt Baden-Wiirttemberg, Stuttgart.  The lAG Symposium No. 108 was held at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, from 13th
to 17th May 1991.

Georgi Milev as Chairman of Commission 6 FIG presented a paper "State of the Art and Development of Engineering Geodesy and Activities of the FIG Commission 6" during the symposium.

IAG 107 - Kinematic System in Geodesy

The IAG Symposium 107 "Kinematic System in Geodesy, Surveying & Remote Sensing" was successfully held in Banff Alberta in September 1990. The proceedings of this symposium was convened and edited by Klaus-Peter Schwarz and Gerard Lachapelle of Calgary University. The symposium was held to gather report among others on the development progress of kinematic approach of GPS surveying (a topic of interest to many at that time period).

IAG 106 - Determination of the Geoid (1991)

IAG Symposium 106 "Determination of the Geoid: Present and Future" was held in Milan, Italy in June 1990. The proceedings of the symposia was convened and edited by Richard Rapp of OSU and Fernando Sanso of Politecnico Milano. The paper presentations were organized into five main themes as follows;

1. Global Geopotential Models - present and future (chaired by Richard Rapp)
2. The role of topography in geoid computations (chaired by Rene Forsberg)
3. The geoid and GPS (Wolfgang Torge & Hans George Wenzel)
4. Theoretical improvements in the determination of the geoid (chaired by Sanso)
5. Software and data improvement for geoid computations (chaired by Tscherning)

Figure of the Earth (Moritz 1990)

Helmut Moritz is very associated with topics on Physical Geodesy. He has authored and co-authored many books on physical geodesy and topic related to it. One of such books is ” The Figure of the Earth – Geodesy and the Earth’s Interior” published in 1990 by Wichmann Verlag, Karlsruhe. This book is very rare to find.

Variations in Earth Rotation (1990)

Those who are interested in Earth rotation (as a research topic in geodesy) should access a monograph published by AGU & IUGG "Variations in Earth Rotation". In more specific it is published as Geophysical Monograph 59, IUGG Vol 9, published in 1990. The publication was edited by Dennis D McCarthy and William E Carter, and it was actually a compilation of papers presented at IUGG/IAG meeting held in Vancouver, August 1987.
