Vertical geodesy is undergoing a revolution because of two factors. First, new precise three-dimensional position measurement techniques used over very long distances and based on extraterrestrial reference systems provide a new class and precision of geometric data previously unavailable for geophysical investigations. Second, physical models in tectonic theory for large earthquakes predict cr...

The following second definition represents a more up-to-date description of geodesy given by the Committee on Geodesy of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences in 1978. • Establishment and maintenance of national and global three dimensional geodetic networks • Measurement and analyses of geodynamic phenomena (earth rotation, earth tides, crustal movements, etc.) • Determination of the earth's ...

Evidence is presented for a state, which we call <, with a mass M = (8322 f 8 f 24) MeV and a line width < 80 MeV (90% confidence level) using the Crystal Ball NaI(T1) detector at DORIS II. Radiative transitions to this state are observed from about 100,000 Y(1S) decays in two independent sets of data: one in which < --* multiple hadrons, and one which is strongly biased towards < --) 2 low mul...

This report outlines Hungarian activities in geodesy for the period January 2003 to December 2006. It has been prepared for submission to the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) at its General Assembly in Perugia, Italy during the XXIVth General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) on July 2–13, 2007. It is issued on behalf of the IAG Section of the Hungar...

Earthquakes in India are caused by the release of elastic strain energy created and replenished by the stresses resulting from India’s collision with Asia. Accumulating strain distorts the surface of the Indian plate, which despite its slow development can now be detected using precision geodesy. The largest and most severe earthquakes occur on the boundaries of the Indian plate to the east, no...
