Title of the project: Homogenized marine gravity maps of southern and eastern Baltic Sea for modern 3D applications in marine geodesy, geology and navigation
Funding organization: Interreg Baltic Sea Region
Project manager: Monika Wilde-Piórko
Number: #S009 BalMarGrav
Duration: 16.06.2022-31.12.2024
URL: https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/balmargrav/
Summary: The project aims to improve the inadequate mapping of the marine gravity field in the southern and eastern Baltic Sea Region (BSR). BalMarGrav builds up a transnational network of experts in the BSR to save and reprocess the fragmented historical data and to provide harmonized and validated open data products. Accurate and dense gravity measurements are essential for the development of gravity anomaly maps and a geoid model. In particular, these tasks are very important for the Baltic Sea Hydrographic Commission to make a decision concerning a unified height reference system for the BSR, called BSCD2000, that will be based on a precise geoid model.

Crop condition is characterised by satellite vegetation indices such as NDVI, and LST which is related to evapotranspiration and water availability in the root zone. Crop growth conditions were described by agrometeorological parameters: surface radiation, soil moisture, air temperature, and precipitation derived from ECMWF ERA-5 Land. The operational satellite data were acquired from ESA Sentinel-3 OLCI and SLSTR images. The crop yield forecasting procedure was built on machine learning methods. Validation was carried out for winter wheat, maize and winter rapeseed.

Title of the project: Analysis and improvement of the mathematical model of the single-epoch GNSS positioning for deformation monitoring in geoscience research
Funding organization: NCN
Project manager: Sławomir Cellmer
Number: 2018/31/B/ST10/00262
Duration: 1.10.2019-30.09.2023
URL:
Summary: The project is dedicated to achieving precise real-time satellite positioning. When it comes to determining precise positions based on data from a single observation epoch, a challenge arises due to the ill-conditioned mathematical model. This ill-conditioned model leads to solution instability, where even minor changes in observations or the model can result in significant result variations, thus lowering solution reliability. Within the project, extensive research is being conducted to explore the application of regularization techniques in achieving precise positioning based on single observation epochs. This research involves the development of the mathematical foundations for implementing these techniques within the computational process, as well as the creation of detailed algorithms and the software necessary to perform these calculations.
