Gravimeter at Jupem

Terrestrial gravity survey for geodetic purpose in Malaysia has been actively done by Jupem. They have doing the job for over thirty years may be more. The gravity survey were carried out in three categories of order - first, second and third order. Jupem has two set of gravimeters both are LaCoste & Romberg instruments. One is the G series and the other Graviton. Unfortunately both gravimeters are no longer in working condition. Both need repair and Jupem has no budget at the moment.

A re-look at Jupem's Gravity Data

After cutting short the presentation on "Gravity and Figure of the Earth" the gravity workshop at Jupem was continued with a session to familiarization the gravity terrestrial data available at Jupem. Emphasis was given on the metadata aspects such as the coordinate systems used, type of height info given and etc.

Special Lecture "Gravity and Figure of the Earth"

During the Gravity Workshop at Jupem a special lecture entitled "Gravity & Figure of the Earth" was arranged. The lecture was slotted as the opening session of the workshop and was expected to take about 45 minutes. A total of about 30 slides was prepared for the lecture. Somehow the lecture was cut short after four or five slides only. The audience seem not ready for such a heavy content of talk.

GWG Team 2 Jupem's Gravity Workshop

A one-day workshop on gravity was held today as an activity of Geodetic Working Group (GWG) Team 2. The workshop was held at Bahagian Ukur Geodetik (BUG) Jupem and attended by staff from Physical Geodesy Section of BUG. Three postgraduate students from G&G Fght were also there to help.

Lecture - VCE

The lecture for deformation survey class today covers topic on VCE. Among the contents were the review of conventional methods of determining geodetic observation variance and their limitations. The lecture then proceeds with discussing the new methods in vce with some examples on its implementation. The lecture today was also attended by a few postgraduate students.
