and the general public will have Internet access in the future.
Duties at the Geodetic Research Division also included field work. Two
weeks concerning gravity measurements in the 2nd order detail network using
a LaCoste and Romberg, model G gravity meter. Also ten weeks concerning
levelling in the third precise levelling of Sweden using motorised levelling
technique with Zeiss Ni002 and Zeiss Ni002A. A further six weeks of field
work concerned planning and reconnaissance of points in a GPS-network in
southern Sweden.
Secretary for FIG Commission 5 (Positioning and Measurements) from 1998
to 2002. During this time organised two international conferences “Geodesy
and Surveying in the Future - The Importance of Height” (Gävle, Sweden 1999)
and “The Mediterranean Surveyor in the New Millennium” (St. Juliens, Malta,
2000). In addition played a large part in the organisation of several other
international conferences. Also been active in several working groups within
the Nordic Commission of Geodesy since 1997.
During August and September 1997 assisted with practical fieldwork
carried out by surveying students at the University College Gävle-Sandviken.
The work concerned detail measurements, levelling, polygon net measurements
and adjustments.
In addition lectured on theory of errors, co-ordinate systems and
co-ordinate transformations to students at Luleå Technical University in
September 1999 and September 2000.
Secretary for the Swedish Mapping and Surveying Techniques Society
between 1998 and 2004.
Participated in a project, under the supervision of Professor Paul A
Cross, at the Department of Geomatic
Engineering, University College, London concerning the calculation and
quality of GPS measured points in Greece for the detection of earth
movements November 1998 - February 1999.
Date: January 1994 – December 1994
Location: Gävle, Sweden
Employer: Lantmäteriet (the Swedish mapping, cadastral and
