Full Professor at University of Luxembourg, Head Geodesy and Geospatial Engineering, Director Doctoral Programme in Engineering Sciences, Track Director Bachelor of Engineering - Digital Engineering
A very much needed effort considering the importance of #geodesy and all its related disciplines in #geospatialengineering for the future of humankind in view of the accelerating environmental changes, but also the dramatic reduction in the number of available experts and students. Whether it is the #digitalization, #digitization of our environment, built or natural, more #sustainability, better usage of #naturalresources or increased #resillience by a better understanding the natural, geophysical, atmospheric, ..., processes on our home planet Earth, nearby in space or on other bodies of our Solar system, geodesists and geospatial engineers, i.e. those who measure, capture and model, are at the core of all subsequent science.
We are excited to bring you the very first European Geosciences Union (EGU) and American Geophysical Union #Geodesy Division joint #webinar, as part of the AGU series "The World Needs More Geodesists." 🌍 🛰️ This webinar will focus on the European geodesy landscape, exploring the diverse roles geodesists play both inside and outside of academia. Building on previous webinars highlighting perspectives from the U.S. and Australia, this session will explore the opportunities available in Europe and discuss strategies/ways to attract more people/students to the field. Join us as we highlight career pathways and explore how we can promote geodesy to the next generation. Speakers: Tim Wright, Professor of Satellite Geodesy and Director of NERC COMET, and co-founder of SatSense; Christian Siemes, Assistant Professor at TU Delft with previous experience at ESA and RHEA Group; Manon Dalaison, Maître de Conférences in Geophysics at IPGP. https://lnkd.in/geZ8uN2g
