This second SCAR Antarctic Geodesy Symposium was held at the Scientific Centre of Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw. It was attended by up to 30 participants, which included representatives of ten SCAR countries. (See list of attendees below) Professor Linsenbarth hosted a reception for participants at the Instytut Geodezji i Kartografii followed by a technical tour of the facilities. The program was a blend of background of Polish Antarctic activities related to Geodesy. This included Professor Guterch who also outlined Arctic activities, Professor Birkenmajer with a history of Polish Polar research including his extensive work in the Antarctic peninsula and with Geographical names for geological mapping in the area. Professor Sledzinski outlined his experiences with the 1958 expedition to Dobrowolski in the Bunger Hills including his pendulum absolute gravity observations at that site. The program continued with presentations on the recent geodetic activities in Antarctica and a proposal for Physical Geodesy Database (Dr Alessandro Capra) and an impressive Internet distributed GIS system for Antarctica (Nengchen Chen, China). Of particular note was the attendance of Dr Alexander Yuskevitch the new Russian representative to the SCAR WG-GGI replacing Dr Soudakov. Participants gave an indication of their plans for activities for the next summer season 1999/2000. The second day presentations were rounded of with a technical tour to the Borowa Gora fundamental geodetic observatory where a prototype portable Absolute Gravity meter was demonstrated by Dr Zanimonskiy. A Polish barbecue followed an impressive display of the new JAVAD GLONASS/GPS receiver in the evening. It was a very successful event well hosted by the Polish Institute of Geodesy and Cartography. Whilst every effort has been made to secure the final versions of the papers presented at AGS99 there were a number which could not be provided. Where this is the case we have published the abstract provided to us before the Symposium. John Manning, Convenor |
