Improved Determination of Europa's Long‐Wavelength Topography Using Stellar Occultations
Europa Clipper will arrive at Jupiter at the end of this decade and will explore Europa through a series of flybys. One of its many goals is to characterize Europa's topography and global shape using the Europa Imaging System and Radar for Europa ...

The paper first discusses the issue of existence of ethical codes in the geodetic profession in Croatia. Although there is the Croatian Geodetic Society, it does not have a code of ethics. There is the Code of Professonal Ethics of Croatian Architects and Engineers in Civil Engineering created in 1998, which is valid for geodesists who are members of ...

On the Application of Wavelets in Geodesy
Today, about 10 years after wavelets become popular, more than 20 wavelet-books and a lot of introductory- and overview-papers testify to the rapid development of theory and practice in this field. Nevertheless applications in geodesy hardly exist. Having in mind the spirit of the Hotine — Marussi — Symposium: to build bridges between new mathematical ...

We present a regionalized model of ocean tidal loading effects for the Argentine-German Geodetic Observatory in La Plata. It provides the amplitudes and phases of gravity variations and vertical deformation for nine tidal constituents to be applied as ...

For many years geodesy was considered to be a science devoted only to the determination of the shape and size of the earth. In general the operations necessary to make such determinations were base measurements, triangulation, and the determination of astronomic latitudes, longitudes, and azimuths.
