Second Announcement 2nd International Centre for Advanced Doctoral Seminar Academic Studies in field of Geodesy, University of Zagreb, Geoinformatics and Dubrovnik, Croatia th th Geospace May 8 – 11 2018 SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT Dear colleagues, We are pleased to inform you that registration for the Seminar was successful and we have filled capacities in the Dormitorum so no more registration is possible. Final number of participants of the 2nd International Doctoral Seminar in field of Geodesy, Geoinformatics and Geospace is 34. We remind student, those who did not, to send extended abstract for Proceeding of abstracts asap! We are pleased to announce number of motivation lectures which will be given by, distinguished professors: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Hanslmeier Arnold University of Graz Institut für Physik Department Astrophysik Head of Astrophysics Prof. Hanslmeier is the head of the astrophysics division of the institute of physics at Graz university in Austria. He has published more than 450 scientific papers and 20 books, several of them are popular books, some textbooks in astronomy and astrophysics, some are scientific books. Main fields of research: Solar physics, Exoplanets, solar like stars, Gravitational lenses.He had many guest professorship: India, France, Germany, Spain and Austria. His latest book project is about Stellar Activity and Habitability and his lecture will deal with several topics from that. Lecture: Stellar activity and space weather on Exoplanets In this lecture we will discuss about the discovery of exoplanets, introduce the concept of habitable zone in a system containing a host star and planets, and focus on the influence of stellar activity on the habitable zone as well as aspects of space weather. Space weather plays a very important role for our high technological society on Earth because it influences on telecommunication systems, causes problems with satellite electronics and orbits and can be a major concern for future long-term space missions, such as a manned space mission to Mars. The main driver for space weather is the Sun and we also review the basic observational processes and the physics underlying these, that lead to space weather on Earth and its environment. This concept will then be transferred to stars. We will review stellar activity and its dependence on the stellar mass and evolutionary stage. The detection of planets orbiting around cool K and M stars means that planets within a habitable zone around them have to orbit these stars very closely. Space weather related events like flares or CMEs could therefore destroy habitability on such planets. Prof.dr.ir. Walter T. de Vries Technische Universität München (TUM) Lehrstuhl für Bodenordnung und Landentwicklung / Chair of Land Management Dean of studies Geodesy and Geoinformatics Department of Civil Geo and Environmental Engineering Prof. dr. ir. Walter Timo de Vries, [email protected], is Chair of Land Management at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) since 2015. At TUM he is director of the Master and PhD programes in Land Management and Land Tenure and Study Dean of the program Geodesy and Geoinformatics. He is a member of the German Geodetic Commisison and the Bayern Academy of Rural Space. His research interests include smart and responsible land management, urban and rural development and capacity development for land policy. As part of that research he is currently supervising 10 PhD students. Recent publications include the book ‘Advances in responsible land administration’, and articles ‘Responsible land management - Concept and application in a territorial rural context’, ‘Towards a theory of meta-governance of land: fundamentals and prospects’ and ‘Human geodesy - shaping a new science and profession for the world of tomorrow’, amongst others. Lecture: Land division: socio-mathematical considerations One of the key tasks of geodetic engineers concerns the proper division of plots of land. A single plot of land can be divided in equal parts in multiple ways. Any land surveyor know the basic mathematical formula to divide a plot in equal areas, for any plot size and any plot shape. However, land division in practice tends to depend on multiple social, institutional, legal and economic considerations, which make equal area not the only condition to divide a plot. Often such considerations override the geometrical mathematics, yet also pose new mathematical challenges. This lecture demonstrates various examples of how and why plots of land are divided equally or equivalently with different logics than 'equal area' only. These examples rely on a number of basic socio-mathematical concepts, including fragmentation, consolidation, proximity, Pareto efficiency, disturbance compensation, equal value and endogeneity. The examples clarify that the outcome of an equal distribution may range from a division in equal areas to no division of areas at all. Each of the considerations comes with a new set of indicators and new set of variations which determine the appropriateness of the division itself. The goal of this lecture is to start a new conceptual chapter in what can be referred to as 'human geodesy'. Prof. Dr. Ir. Joep Crompvoets KU Leuven Public Governance Institute Professor Prof. Dr. ir. Joep Crompvoets holds a chair in ‘information management in the public sector’ and a position as research manager ‘E-Governance and Public Sector Innovation’ at KU Leuven Public Governance Institute (Belgium). Moreover, he is currently the secretary-general of EuroSDR – a European spatial data research network linking national mapping agencies with research institutes and universities for the purpose of applied research in the domain of geospatial information management. He has been involved in numerous (inter)national research and education projects related to spatial data infrastructures, GIS, e-governance and public sector innovation. Finally, he has written more than 350 publications of which more than 80 are ISI- indexed. These publications mainly deal with spatial data infrastructures, GIS, e-governance, and land evaluation. His current interests refer to Big data, Open data, 3D data management, co- creation, and IT-governance. Lecture: Disruptive Technologies and their impacts This presentation is about disruptive technologies and their impacts. It will start by defining these technologies and providing key examples of current disruptive technologies (Mobile internet, Cloud technology, Internet of Things, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Vehicles). Afterwards, the presentation will focus on the potential impacts of disruptive technologies on individuals, organisations, economies, and governments. Besides positive aspects of disruptive technologies, there is also a dark side (e.g. wrong investments, market loss, citizens' privacy, discrimination, misplaced trust, and misguided public policies). The presentation ends with a set of recommendations for taking control of the associated risks and a list of concluding reflections. In order to enhance interactions with the audience, some propositions will be launched for opening a debate about the topic. Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil.

At least from a construction height of 100 meters on, systematic and random deflections will appear due to insolation, constant wind pressure and gusts, varying loads of construction devices like cranes and design causes. Conservatively, engineering surveyors mostly choose precision zenith plumping to transfer stable ground networks or grids to the top (static concept); however, this proves to be a cumbersome method and affords cautious selection of observation times to be agreed with the civil engineers. On first sight, specific RTK-GNSS observations at the highest storey (dynamic concept) could provide a splendid alternative to save time and effort. Can they really replace the plumbing work? This has to be discussed.

  • A Brief History of the Astronomical Theories of Paleoclimates1
    A brief history of the astronomical theories of paleoclimates1 André Berger, Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain‐La‐Neuve, Belgium Abstract. Paleoclimatic reconstructions help to discover the natural variability of the climate system over times scales ranging from years to hundreds of thousands of years. They are fundamental in climate research, especially now, because they provide a unique set of data to validate models over climatic situations largely different from those of the last 150 years. The climatic situations of the last century are indeed available in great detail, but with a very poor diversity. Among the different modes of climatic variations, the glacial‐interglacial cycles have the advantage that they provide examples of extreme climates and that their primary astronomical cause is now pretty well known. The Astronomical Theory of paleoclimates aims indeed to explain these climatic variations occurring with quasi‐periodicities situated between tens and hundreds of thousands of years. Such variations are recorded in deep‐sea sediments, in ice sheets and in continental archives. The origin of these quasi‐cycles lies in the astronomically driven changes of the latitudinal and seasonal distribution of the energy that the Earth receives from the Sun. Milutin Milankovitch extensively published about this theory between 1920 and 1950, but the relationship between the astronomical parameters, insolation and climate, had already been suggested at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The evolution of ideas from these early times to the present day is briefly reviewed, but this introductory paper does not claim to be a full historical survey of what has contributed to structure the astronomical theory of paleoclimates over the last two centuries.
