Geomonitoring 2024 in Braunschweig
Call for papers

Since 2011, the conference series "Geomonitoring" has been hosted jointly by TU Clausthal, LU Hannover and TU Braunschweig, alternating between the respective locations. The next conference location will be Braunschweig again: on 29.2. and 1.3. 2024 we will meet at Campus Nord to discuss current developments and issues around the monitoring of geometric changes of natural and man-made objects in the (human-influenced) system Earth.

We invite all colleagues to present their own work. Presentations will be registered on an abstract basis. Afterwards there will be the possibility to submit the papers to scientific journals.

We welcome presentations on satellite- and ground-based radar interferometry, on applications of terrestrial or airborne sensors and sensor networks, and on the analysis and modeling of the deformation behavior of geotechnical objects as well as structures and infrastructure facilities.

For more information on the registration process, including poster or company registrations, please visit our website. Under the menu item „Tagungen“ you will also find the lecture programs of the last years.

Further information can be found in this PDF flyer.

The documentation and conference language is predominantly German, but contributions in English are welcome as well.

We are looking forward to your contributions and two exciting days in Braunschweig.

Scholarship for Pius Kirui from the Gerhard and Karin Matthäi Foundation

We are pleased to announce that the Gerhard and Karin Matthäi Foundation is supporting our colleague Pius Kirui in the final phase of his PhD with a scholarship. The scholarship follows on from the DAAD funding and will enable Pius to defend his work in autumn. We thank the foundation for making this possible.

Dienstjubiläum Dr. Björn Riedel

Björn Riedel: 40 years of commitment to public service

On July 1, 2023, our colleague Dr. Björn Riedel celebrated his 40th anniversary in public service! We all congratulate warmly and thank him for his outstanding service.

Björn Riedel joined the TU Braunschweig in 1991. First, he finished his diploma thesis in geodesy studies at the University of Stuttgart. Afterwards he became a staff member at the chair of Prof. Möller, later at today's Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry under Prof. Niemeier. Today, Dr. Riedel is a senior academic officer and thus a very important pillar in the so-called "Mittelbau", without which university operations could not be maintained. Besides his own research in the field of satellite remote sensing, he contributes excellently to the teaching program of our institute, supports many projects, and keeps the IGP together and running. 

The IGP team wishes all the best and looks forward to many more years of good cooperation.

EGU Conference 2023

EGU Conference 2023

Recently we had the opportunity to attend the European Geosciences Union (EGU) conference in Vienna. It was an enriching experience where we had the privilege of delivering our oral presentations on two distinct topics, “Comparison of land surface temperatures from Landsat with soil freeze-thaw measurements in permafrost peatlands” in a session on remote sensing of cold regions and “Determination of anthropologically induced deformation along the Kenyan Rift system using Multitemporal InSAR analysis with Sentinel-1 data” in a session on SAR remote sensing for natural and human-induced hazard applications. Presenting our research to a diverse audience of fellow researchers, professionals, and experts in the field was an invaluable opportunity to share our insights, engage in fruitful discussions, and receive valuable feedback. The EGU conference provided an exceptional platform for knowledge exchange and networking, enabling us to forge new collaborations and deepen our understanding of the latest advancements in the geosciences field. It was a memorable experience that further fuelled our passion for scientific exploration and discovery. See also our project pages on TransTIP and InSAR-based Crustal deformation monitoring along the Kenya Rift system.

Beitrag von C. Konzock, Luftfahrt Bundesamt zum aktuellen EU-Drohnenrecht.

DVW UAV Seminar „UAV 2023 – Geodaten nach Maß“ was a success!

The IGP has been active in drone-based photogrammetry for many years. In many completed and ongoing projects, we have demonstrated and further developed the potential that arises from the use of this technology. Because of this experience we organized a UAV seminar in Braunschweig together with colleagues from DVW e.V. and DGPF e.V. This seminar was aimed at participants from the field and took place as part of a DVW seminar series. 

Thus, 180 interested colleagues from practice and science met on our campus to learn about current developments regarding systems, software, requirements and legal framework conditions of UAV-based data acquisition and evaluation over two days. In the thematic block "Sensors and Platforms", developments on the drone market as well as current camera systems were highlighted. Drone-based laser scanning, which is well established in practice, was addressed as well as innovative, customized hardware solutions. In the "Innovative Evaluation" session, experts reported on data processing in various contexts, for example in the government sector and with regard to automatic evaluation (see picture gallery). 

The third and fourth sessions were devoted to the topic of regulation and flight approval procedures with a concluding panel discussion. It became clear that many questions remain unanswered in current flight clearances practice. For the first time, the workshop "Software Products for Typical Tasks in UAV Image Data Processing" was held on two half days prior to the seminar. Participants gained an overview of the functional scope of the products most commonly used in geodetic practice. We are also pleased to announce that the participants of the conference donated more than 1.400€ for the mission of "Médecins Sans Frontières" in the earthquake disaster areas in Northern Syria.

As of now, the conference proceedings "UAV 2023" can be downloaded free of charge as a PDF

Talk of P. Havel (Vermessung-3D) on flight clearances in practice. In his talk, Thomas Kraft from DLR's Institute of Optical Sensor Systems presented the use of hybrid drones for the rapid acquisition of images during disaster relief operations. The image shows a recent example from the earthquake area in Turkey. Details of the technology used can be found in the conference proceedings, which are available free of charge. Talk by C. Konzock, Federal Aviation Office, on current EU drone regulations.

217. DVW-Seminar & Workshop "UAV 2023 - Geodaten nach Maß"

Date/Location
23. und 24. February 2023
22. und 23. Feburary 2023 (workshop optional)
Braunschweig

Today, the use of UAV-based data acquisition and analysis is an almost daily business for many professional users from geodesy and photogrammetry, and geoinformation in general. However, more than with other technologies, systems, software, requirements and legal frameworks are subject to constant change. In this environment, it is therefore essential to constantly deal with the current status quo. This includes questions about current regulations and flight approval procedures, information about modern platforms and sensors, and innovative processes for practical applications. Renowned speakers will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of UAV systems in many facets and will be available to answer questions from interested participants.

NEW: Workshop before the seminar

On the day before the seminar, for the first time, there will be an opportunity to learn about the functional scope of the products most commonly used in geodetic practice in a workshop entitled "Software Products for Typical Tasks in UAV Image Data Processing".

GeoMonitoring 2023

Date/Location
09./10.03.2023 at Leibniz Universität Hannover

GeoMonitoring requires the combination of observation methods and process modeling. This is essential for the reduction of geohazards. The conference series "GeoMonitoring" focuses on the monitoring of geometric changes of natural and man-made objects in the human-influenced system Earth. The interdisciplinary conference "GeoMonitoring" presents measurement methods from geodesy, geotechnics and geophysics as well as from related sciences. For the integration of their results and for the description of the complex behavior of geoobjects, relevant and applicable modeling approaches are presented. The conference series is organized by the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry of the TU Braunschweig, the Institute of Geotechnics and Mine Surveying of the TU Clausthal and the Geodetic Institute of the Leibniz Universität Hannover.
