    Abstract : Under what conditions can peace be established after violent communal conflict? This question has received limited research attention to date, despite the fact that communal conflicts kill thousands of people each year and often severely disrupt local livelihoods. This dissertation analyzes how political dynamics affect prospects for peace after communal conflict. READ MORE

    Abstract : The definition and maintenance of accurate and stable Earth-fixed and inertial reference frames is crucial in studying, among else, geophysical and geodynamical phenomena, precise positioning, and space navigation. The tools used to this end are space-geodetic techniques, like e.g. READ MORE

  6. 4. Exploring Strategies for the Combination of Multiple Space-geodetic Techniques

    Abstract : Space-geodetic techniques are based on signal acquisition from extraterrestrial radio sources that can be used to infer geodetic positioning and define Earth-fixed and inertial reference systems. These techniques, which include Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) among others, exhibit different strengths and weaknesses in recovering parameters of interest.
