Guy Bomford Prize Lecture Advancing the theoretical apparatus of physical geodesy

摘要

Mister President, Mister Secretary General, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am very pleased and honoured. The other day, I looked at the list of the Guy Bomford Prize awardees. Honestly, I feel like a hobbit who has just arrived in the Rivendell and there are the wise Elves all around him. I will express my gratitude at the end of this talk. Now, I would like to tell you a few words about the advancements of the theoretical apparatus of physical geodesy. This is the topic, which I have been very passionate about and also quite productive in terms of research outputs, and brought me here on this stage tonight. Vast majority of this research has been performed at the University of West Bohemia in the Czech Republic together with my colleagues Pavel Novak and Martin Pitonak. Currently, however, I am employed at the University of Newcastle in Australia.
