Remarkable advances over recent years prove that geodesy today develops under a broad spectrum of interactions, including theory, science, engineering, technology, observations, and practice-oriented services. Geodetic science accumulates significant results in studies towards classical geodetic problems and problems that only emerged or gained new interest, in many cases due to synergistic activities in geodesy and tremendous advances in the instrumentations and computational tools. In-depth studies progressed in parallel with investigations that led to a broadening of the traditional core of geodesy. The scope of the session is conceived with a certain degree of freedom, even though the session intends to provide a forum for all investigations and results of a theoretical and methodological nature.
Within this concept, we seek contributions concerning problems of reference frames, gravity field, geodynamics, and positioning, but also studies surpassing the frontiers of these topics. We invite presentations discussing analytical and numerical methods in solving geodetic problems, advances in mathematical modelling and statistical concepts, or the use of high-performance facilities. Demonstrations of mathematical and physical research directly motivated by geodetic practice and ties to other disciplines are welcome. In parallel to theory-oriented results, examinations of novel data-processing methods in various branches of geodetic science and practice are also acceptable.
