Seminar at GFZ-Potsdam

(Português segue abaixo)
Yesterday I delivered a seminar at the German Research Centre for Geosciences (Deutsche GeoForschungsZentrum - GFZ), talking about the connection between physics and geometry that makes what Geodesy is. The title was "From Physics to Geometry: a tapestry of heights." During the Seminar I had the opportunity to highlight part of my work dealing with heights, from a Physical Geodesy aspect (including the novel concept of rigorous orthometric heights) and from a modeller of the neutral-atmosphere (including its growing contributions to climate)

Ontem eu apresentei um seminário no Centro Pesquisas Alemão para Geociências (Deutsche GeoForschungsZentrum - GFZ), falando sobre a conexão entre física e geometria, o que é um dos eixos da Geodesia. O título foi "Da Física à Geometria: uma tapeçaria de altitudes". Durante o Seminário, eu tive a oportunidade de destacar parte do meu trabalho que trata de altitudes, de um aspecto da Geodésia Física (incluindo o novo conceito de altitudes ortométricas rigorosas), e como um modelador da atmosfera neutra (incluindo suas crescentes contribuições para o estudo do clima).

Bulgarian restaurant in Vienna

Image
In our first evening in Vienna, we went to investigate the area near our apartment and we found Seasons, a small Bulgarian restaurant. While Denise enjoyed the always good schnitzel I tried Gyuvetch, a Bulgarian dish, which I believe is named after the beautiful clay it is served in.  The pictures tell the story. At the end, I enjoyed the meal along with Bulgarian beer Zagorka. - - - - Na nossa primeira noite em Viena, fomos investigar a área perto do nosso apartamento e encontramos Seasons, um pequeno restaurante búlgaro. Enquanto Denise aprecisava um schnitzel, sempre bom, eu tentei o Gyuvetch, um prato búlgaro, que acredito ter o nome do lindo pote de argila que é servido. As fotos contam a história. No final, eu gostei da refeição juntamente com a cerveja búlgara Zagorka.

Geodetic Observatory Pecný and the village of Ondřejov

Image
We spent two weeks at the Geodetic Observatory (GO) Pecný, located in a hill 1.5 km near the village of Ondřejov. Ondřejov itself is about 1 hour by public transportation from Prague. A bucolic and picturesque place, located inside a forest. We stayed in a small cottage they have for visiting researchers and scholars. GO Pecný date back to the 1960's and their main activity was the determination of astronomical latitude, longitude and azimuth, evening operations. Later on, they started to perform satellite photography, also evening operations. Therefore, an infrastructure was necessary for the scientists and technicians to stay overnight. The main office building, built at that time, had offices each one with a bed, and every floor had a kitchen, bathroom and shower. Today, a similar way of working exists. The scientists, engineers and technicians may spend two or three days living in the office, doing the rest of the work in other places such as Prague, Plze ň ,  or even at t...
