AHD re-looked

Australia has adopted AHD as height references for the entire continent. Ever since its inception in 1971 many researchers has pointed out problems arisen from AHD. Among the studies touching on this issue were;

1. Holloway R (1988) The integration of GPS heights into the AHD. UniSurv Report S-33, UNSW.
2. Kearsley et al (1988) The AHD - problems and proposals. AS, 34(4):363-380
3. Kearsley et al (1993) National height datums, levelling, GPS heights and geoid. AJGPS 59:53-88
4. Featherstone (1998) Do we need a gravimetric geoid or a model of AHD to transform GPS heights in Australia. AS 43(4):273-280
5. Featherstone (2002) Prospects of the AHD and the geoid model. IAG Vistas for Geodesy, pp 96-101
6. Featherstone (2004) Evidence of a north-south trend between AUSGeoid98 and the AHD in southwest Australia. SR 37(291):334-343
7. Featherstone (2006) Yet more evidence for a north-south slope in the AHD. J of Spatial Sci 51(2):1-6
8. Featherstone (2008) GNSS-heighting in Australia: current and emerging issues. JSS 53(2):115-133
9. Featherstone & Dent (2002) Transfer of vertical control using only one GPS receiver. AS 47(1):31-37
10. WEF & Kuhn (2006) Height system and vertical datum: a review in the Australian context. JSS 51(1):21-42
11. WEF & Filmer (2008)

Professor Richard Coleman

Prof Richard Coleman is the leading figure in Surveying program at Tasmania Uni. Dr Coleman graduated from UNSW with BSc in Surveying (1st Class) and later PhD also from the same university. At Tasmania Uni he has successfully supervised at least 32 PhD candidates. See the list of his PhD graduates here.

Among them were Prof Matt King (graduated in 2002) and Ngoc Lau Nguyen (graduated 2000). King wrote a thesis entitled "The dynamics of the AIS from GPS & terrestrial data" while Nguyen thesis was "Investigation of high precision vertical datum definition for geodetic networks".

In March 16, 2016 Prof Coleman was invited to give a special lecture at LSGI Poly University HK (source).

The 1st IGFS Symposium - Istanbul 2006

The geodesist in Turkey are quite active especially in the field of gravity and geoid computation. For instance they have in the past successfully organized the first symposium of the International Gravity Field Service (IGFS) of the IAG. The symposium was held from 28 Aug to Sep 1, 2006. This symposium is in continuation of International Symposium of Gravity & Geoid (IGG) held by the former Internaional Geoid and Gravity and Geoid Commission.

A total of 78 papers were submitted to this 1st IGFS and all were peer reviewed. The 1st IGFS were headed together by Assoc Prof Dr Ali Kilicoglu and Rene Forsberg (IGFS President).
The proceedings can be downloaded from here.

Mesyuarat Jurnal Geoinformasi

Mesyuarat pertama membincang mengenai mengada semula Jurnal Geoinformasi diadakan hari ini. Jurnal Geoinformasi terhenti sekian lama sejak isu akhirnya pada 2011. Perancangan dibuat untuk menerbit semula jurnal dengan keluaran sulung menjelang Disember tahun ini.
