Precision Surveying (Ogundare, 2015)

Sebuah buku teks untuk geomatik "Precision Surveying: The Principles and Geomatics Practice" telah berada di pasaran. Buku ditulis oleh Ogundare terbitan Wiley pada Julai 2015. Buku berharga GBP100 atau USD140 boleh diperolehi di Kinokuniya pada harga Rm640.

Ogundare adalah graduan PhD dari UNB pada 1996 di bawah seliaan Chrzanowski. Prof Chrzanowski menulis Forward buku ini dan menyebut yang Ogundare merupakan 'one of my best graduate students at UNB about twenty years ago'. Chrzanowski seterusnya menyambung "He was a hard working, young scientist, eager to learn, and very thorough in his work".

Ogundare kini mengajar di British Columbia Institute of Technology, Canada.

Pelajar PSM 2016

Minggu ini merupakan minggu terakhir pelajar 4Sghu di UTM. Mereka telah menduduki peperiksaan kertas terakhir pada Isnin lalu (19/6). Tugasan terakhir masing-masing ialah untuk menghantar tesis PSM yang telah dibinding.

pelajar yang membuat PSM di bawah saya turut menghantar tesis mereka pada hari ini. Mereka ialah Kamarul dan Nur Khalilah. Judul PSM Kamarul ialah "Strategy towards the improvement of height datum in Sarawak" manakala Khalilah pula "Development of deformation modelling routine and incorporating into existing geodetic deformation analysis computational package".

Pemergian Ibu Encik Shahlan

Selesai sahaja majlis NC satu berita sedih diterima iaitu kematian ibu Encik Shahlan (pensyarah Geomatik). Arwah meninggal setelah uzur sekian lama pada usia lebih 90 tahun. Kunjungan ziarah dilakukan oleh empat staf fakulti iaitu TDPI, PM Din, Encik Imzan dan saya sendiri. Rombongan bertolak pergi selepas zohor dan kembali ke Skudai selepas asar.

Lawatan NC ke FGHT

Pada pagi ini NC datang melawat FGHT. Sempena lawatan tersebut satu sesi engagement telah diadakan. Menurut jadual majlis bermula jam 9.15 pagi namun berlaku kelewatan kerana beliau terpaksa hadir satu mesyuarat penting di luar jadual mengenai isu slide kuliah Titas.

Sesi engagement bermula dengan taklimat Dekan dan kemudiannya ucapan NC. Sesi berakhir dengan soal-jawab yang mana hanya dua staf yang menanya iaitu Prof Alias dan Prof Mazlan. Kehadiran ramai kerana program dimasukkan sebagai slot latihan.

3rd JISDM TU Vienna (2016)

Report below is taken from Journal of Geodesy July 2016 Issue (available online today) ;

3rd JISDM 2016

3rd Joint International Symposium on Deformation Monitoring (JISDM) was held at TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology), Austria, from 30th March to 1st April 2016 organized by the Research Group Engineering Geodesy of the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation. It follows the more than 40 years old tradition of the FIG Symposium series on Deformation Measurements and of the IAG Symposium series on Geodesy for Geotechnical and Structural Engineering expressing the tight collaboration between these two geodetic organizations. The symposium is the most important geodetic meeting worldwide dealing with the topics on geodetic monitoring and deformation analysis. During the three-day-long meeting, the entire spectrum of deformation studies was covered. One aim of the symposium was to reflect contributions from different fields of geodesy and geomatics, such as engineering geodesy, spatial geodesy, photogrammetry, and remote sensing. 

Around 150 participants from 25 countries attended the successful conference.
