Carissimi Associati SGI,
Carissimi Soci Società Associate,
su indicazione del Prof. Rodolfo Carosi (Università di Torino e Presidente SGI) vi segnaliamo l'ultimo podcast di Geology Bites (Conversations about geology with researchers making key contributions to our understanding of the Earth and the Solar System):
Di seguito troverete il messaggio dell'ideatore, Oliver Strimpel, e il link al sito web di Geology Bites.
Cordiali saluti,
La Segreteria
Hello, listeners,
In the latest episode, Tom Herring from MIT talks about high-precision geodesy. While it used to cost tens of thousands of dollars to achieve millimetre-level accuracy, the cost has plummeted so much that we'll be seeing such accuracy in our phones soon.
In the first part of the podcast we talk about the three main types of geodesy system—GPS-type satellite systems, VLBI, and InSAR. It is the former that is seeing the dramatic cost reduction. We then talk about geological applications of high-precision geodesy, as well as applications to other fields, such as civil engineering (e.g., skyscrapers and dams) and agriculture. It's intriguing to speculate as to what kinds of apps will emerge when mm-level accuracy arrives on our phones.
I hope you enjoy listening.
Oliver
