!!! Seguimos con buenas noticias para Chile este mes de Julio!!!. En el mes de Mayo de 2026, recibiremos el Congreso Internacional Taller IGS de Servicio GNSS 2026, una instancia de alto nivel científico sobre GNSS, ciencia e ingeniería que nunca antes se había realizado en Sudamérica. Este evento está organizado por la Universidad de Santiago de Chile a través del Centro de Procesamiento USC-USACH y el Instituto Geográfico Militar (IGM) como coorganizador. La realización de este congreso en Chile, donde se celebrarán 32 años de servicio operativo, es un testimonio del compromiso de nuestro país y la región con la geodesia y el GNSS. La postulación fue un gran logro gracias al trabajo del Centro USC-USACH, encabezado por su director, el Dr. José Antonio Tarrío, y el equipo de trabajo formado por su subdirector, el Dr. Marcelo Caverlotti, Catalina Cáceres, Valeria Vázquez, Miguel Marten y Fernando Isla. El evento fue aceptado en la 64ª Reunión de la Junta del Servicio Internacional GNSS (IGS), y la confirmación de la candidatura fue presentada por el Dr. José Antonio Tarrío en el taller del IGS 2024 realizado en Berna, Suiza, en julio de 2024. Esta instancia fue apoyada por el Servicio Nacional de Turismo con su Programa Meet in Chile. Este importante evento del IGS, que es un servicio de la Asociación Internacional de Geodesia (IAG), junto con su Sistema Global de Observación Geodésica (GGOS), la Unión Internacional de Geodesia y Geofísica (IUGG) y un miembro de la red del Sistema Mundial de Datos (WDS) del Consejo Científico Internacional (ISC), se desarrollará en Santiago y reunirá a más de 250 científicos extranjeros de todo el mundo, así como a numerosas instituciones y empresas nacionales e internacionales que podrán debatir sobre geodesia e ingeniería del territorio.

We invite you to join us for an amazing meeting on Geodesy in Africa at the Science Summit at UNGA79 https://lnkd.in/ebPiu5_5     When: Friday, 27 September 2024 | 8:30 am – 3:00 pm ET (UTC-4) Where: on-site and online event, CURE, 345 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10010, United States     Africa Rising: Shaping our Common Future Through Geodesy. Implementing the UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/69/266 "A Global Geodetic Reference Frame for Sustainable Development"   In addressing global challenges like climate change, urbanization, and sustainable resource management, accurate geodetic data is crucial. We aim to elevate the global geodesy supply chain, align geodetic science with policymaking, and advance research through multidisciplinary cooperation. Central to our agenda is integrating the African perspective to address unique challenges and contributions. This meeting focuses on advancing UN Resolution A/RES/69/266, “A Global Geodetic Reference Frame (GGRF) for Sustainable Development,” fostering discussions among Member States, international organizations, and geospatial experts. One of the key topics to be discussed the 1st Joint Development Plan for Global Geodesy, aiming to accelerate progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.      Find more at: https://lnkd.in/dB-r7rJi https://lnkd.in/eTzANBhi  https://lnkd.in/egikhvbA  LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/eSCW3wSC X: https://lnkd.in/ekhgFN8J

No place on Earth is stationary, and the most powerful tool we have for measuring ongoing, large-scale tectonic motions is GPS. This poster shows tectonic motion measured by GPS stations in the Network of the Americas relative to the tectonically stable interior of the North American plate.

In addition to providing the #positioning information critical to almost all Earth observations, #GNSS itself is also a remote sensing technology, enabling natural hazard monitoring and #EarlyWarnings4All.

🛰 GNSS and terrestrial reference frames play critical roles in decision-making for #ClimateAction. 🌐 As sea level rise continues to impact communities such as those in the Pacific Community-SPC, GNSS-enabled access to a reliable and robust global geodetic reference frame will be essential. #GNSS #Geodesy #GeodesyEnabled #GNSSenabled #geodesy4impact #GNSS4impact #ITRF #GGRF #referenceframe International GNSS Service (IGS) GGOS - Global Geodetic Observing System

📣 AUSPOS now provides ITRF2020/IGS20 coordinates 🖥 🛰 AUSPOS is Geoscience Australia's online #GPS processing service and has been upgraded this week to provide users with coordinates aligned to the latest International Terrestrial Reference Frame [#ITRF2020]. AUSPOS v3.0 includes the following features:  - Computation of coordinates with respect to ITRF2020 (no longer ITRF2014).  - Computation of consistent #GDA2020 coordinates.  - Uses the most up to date and reliable International GNSS Service (IGS) products aligned to ITRF2020.  - Improved quality of solutions due to the implementation of updated Bernese v5.2 programs, more available reference sites for network calculations, updated antenna calibration values for ground receiver antenna types, and a more precise/advanced ocean tide loading model.  The IGS realisation of ITRF2020 (IGS20) uses the latest improvements in modelling and processing strategies, which can be considered as an indirect benefit to users of the upgraded AUSPOS v3.0. Stay tuned for a comprehensive report detailing the updates to AUSPOS and the extensive testing campaign to ensure users are receiving high quality GPS results. https://lnkd.in/gpu5bQwS 🌟 Let us know how you use AUSPOS as we continue the planning for future improvements. Huge thanks to the team for making this possible: Carl Wang, Thomas Maile, Salim Masoumi #GNSSAnalysis #PositioningAustralia
