Mina Rahmani introduces Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and explains its important role in modern geodesy: determining the position of a point on Earth with millimeter precision using radio signals from celestial objects billions of light-years away. Sounds like science fiction?

GNSS is best known for positioning, navigation, and monitoring Earth surface motions with high precision. But did you know that the same satellite signals can also provide information about snow, soil moisture, or sea level, without installing any additional instruments?

How can geodesy better engage with policy? Join the Special Discussion Session G2.1 "Streamlining geodetic research for policy – how can we utilize the Essential Geodetic Variables (EGVs) for easier engagement and communication" (www.egu26.eu/session/58223) starting at 16:15 in Room K1
