Best poster award for IGG PhD

21-05-2019

Damian Tondaś, a PhD affiliated to IGIG, was awarded a best poster award at "4th Joint International Symposium on Deformation Monitoring", Athens, Greece. The work "Investigation for mining-induced deformation in Upper Silesia Coal Basin with multi-GNSS in Near Real-Time" demonstrate research linked with the integration of high frequency GNSS permanent observations and InSAR in the area of Upper Silesia Coal Basin. The work is supported by EPOS-PL project.

Special lectures on seismology

11-04-2019

We kindly invite you to series of lectures by Prof. Eleftheria Papadimitriou and Prof. Vassilios Karakostas from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Both are professors in seismology at the Geophysics Department. Prof. Karakostas has strong expertise in seismology, seismotectonics, tsunami hazards, statistical seismology, seismic hazard assessment. His series of lectures in IGiG will contain the basic theories and knowledge about Seismic waves, Seismometers, Seismological networks and Seismicity. Prof. Papadimitriou is an expert in long-term earthquake prediction, fault plane solutions and stress patterns. She will present the basics of Stress & Strain, Faults & Fault Plane Solutions, Calculations of stress changes and Global Seismotectonics.
The lectures are targeted primary for Master and PhD students, but all interested on the subject are also kindly invited. The seminars will held on 16th, 17th and 18th of April from 16:00 in lecture room I-M. The visit of the guests is part of the ERASMUS+ initiative.

Open PostDoc Position in the field of Satellite Geodesy

27-11-2018

The Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics (IGiG), WUELS, has a world-leading position in the domain of GNSS precise positioning, processing multi-GNSS observations, precise orbit determination, integration of GNSS and SLR data, and determination of global geodetic parameters. IGiG leads and participates in many scientific projects funded by the European Space Agency, the Polish National Science Center, and the European Union.

Hereby, IGiG announces an open PostDoc position that will be funded by the Polish National Science Center in the framework of the project “Determination of Global Geodetic Parameters using the Galileo Satellite System” (project number: 2018/29/B/ST10/00382). More information about the project can be found at the website: https://www.ncn.gov.pl/sites/default/files/listy-rankingowe/2018-03-15/streszczenia/411970-en.pdf
