International Association of Geodesy, Commission 4 Symposium @ Wuhan, China

The third International Association of Geodesy (IAG) Commission 4 Symposium will bring together scientists, researchers and professionals working in the broad field of positioning and its applications.

The symposium will serve as a platform for discussing research that leverages current and emerging positioning techniques and technologies. It aims to provide both practical and theoretical solutions across a wide range of topics.

Discussions will address both technical and institutional aspects of developing GNSS backup systems, integrated positioning solutions, resilient PNT systems, and emerging LEO-based PNT techniques. The symposium will also explore space weather monitoring and forecasting through both ground-based and space-based geodetic observations. Additionally, the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in geodesy will be examined.

The main topics to be covered include:

  • Multi-frequency and multi-constellation GNSS technique
  • Terrestrial and satellite-based positioning system development
  • Multi-sensor fusion navigation and integrity monitoring
  • Emerging positioning technologies, e.g., resilient PNT and LEO-based PNT
  • Atmospheric space weather monitoring using geodetic observation techniques
  • Applications of geodesy to engineering
  • Artificial Intelligence technique for geodesy research
