The University of Stuttgart and Wuhan University, China, look back on a two-decade history of collaboration, both in teaching and in research. In the domain of geodesy and geomatics the collaboration has been particularly fruitful, leading to several joint research projects, mutual research stays, student exchanges and joint PhD supervision. The planned Thematic Network aims to take the existing Stuttgart-Wuhan partnership as the core and to extend it to a veritable network. Two more partners are envisioned in China: Tongji University in Shanghai and the Chinese Academy of Surveying in Mapping. The network will be extended in Europe by the University of Luxembourg, the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Deutsche Geodätische ForschungsInstitut. The aggregated networks expertise in spaceborne geodetic technology, in satellite data analysis and in monitoring and modeling of global change phenomena provides the disciplinary basis of the proposed Thematic Network. Satellite geodesy plays a major role in the long-term monitoring of essential climate variables. Notable examples are: sea-level rise, from satellite altimetry; melting of the Greenland and West-Antarctica ice sheets, from spaceborne gravimetry; and tectonic deformations of the Earths crust, from global networks of GPS stations. Overall, geodetic techniques provide the metrological means to monitor global change. Satellite techniques, due to their synoptic view and global homogeneity, are key information providers to many agencies, e.g. the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Two objectives will be achieved by the proposed measures. In the education sector, both students (at all levels) and teachers enjoy increased international exchange options to and from Stuttgart. In research, the network acts as a platform for more intense collaboration and for new joint projects. Both objectives support the internationalization strategy of the University of Stuttgart aiming at improving the quality of teaching and research.
Die marine Geodäsie ist ein sich entwickelndes Forschungsfeld mit dem Ziel, die satellitenbasierten Methoden der Vermessungskunde an Land auf die marine Umgebung zu übertragen. Satellitengeodäsie steht unter Wasser aufgrund der begrenzten Ausbreitung elektromagnetischer Wellen nicht zu Verfügung. Entsprechend ist der Einsatz hochpräziser akustischer Entfernungsmessungen notwendig, um kleinskalige Deformationen des Meeresbodens erfassen zu können. Diese Deformationen sind Ausdruck des Spannungsaufbaus innerhalb der ozeanischen Kruste, der durch plattentektonische Prozesse, u.a. im Vorfeld von Erdbeben, hervorgerufen wird. Zur Bestimmung der Deformationen wird ein Netzwerk an Ozeanbodenreferenzstationen installiert, die untereinander sowie mit autonomen Fahrzeugen kommunizieren. Im Rahmen des Vorhabens sollen die einzelnen Komponenten des marinen geodätischen Systems integriert und unter Realbedingungen getestet werden.
