"Assimilating Ground-Based and High-Dynamic Airborne GNSS Zenith Total Delays Into Numerical Weather Predictions" by Zhang et al. (2025)

Together with onocoy and the European Space Agency (ESA), we're starting a new project to detect and prevent GNSS fraud using AI technology and contributions from the community.

Mostafa Kiani Shahvandi has been awarded the ETH Zurich Silver Medal for his outstanding doctoral thesis titled "Geodetic Time Series Analysis and Prediction Using Machine Learning" (supervised by Prof. Benedikt Soja). 

This year, six doctoral students from the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering are honoured for their outstanding achievements: four of them receive ETH medals, two the Culmann Prize. Big congrats!

The Jörg G. Bucherer-Foundation's donation of 100 million Swiss francs will enable ETH Zurich to establish a new competence centre for Earth observation. ETH President Joël Mesot explains how the partnership came about and how it will benefit ETH Swiss GeoLab.

The Living Planet Symposium 2025 (LPS25), which takes place every three years, was held in Vienna from 23-27 June 2025. From the Space Geodesy group, Laura Crocetti and Benedikt Soja participated.

Last week, Matthias had the opportunity to attend a workshop on "Science and Technology with the Wetterstein Millimeter Telescope (WMT)" at the Umweltforschungsstation Schneefernerhaus, located 2650 meters above sea level on the Zugspitze (Germany).

On the 12^th of June, Yuanxin Pan successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis entitled "Characterization of Reflected and Low-cost GNSS Signals with Machine Learning".

We are happy to announce that Leonardo Trentini joined the Space Geodesy group as a new Ph.D. student.
