Seeking a research assistant at the Physical resource theory division

Faculty Supervisor: Assistant Professor Frances Sprei

Start date: as soon as possible

End date: December 2016

Tasks and Responsibilities:

In this research project, we are looking into the characteristics of a city that make free-float car-sharing as a successful option. The student will be helping us in data collection for this effort. The student's tasks and responsibilities will be collecting following data for about 100 cities in Europe and North America:

1. Data on cities socio-demographics.
2. Data on Transport system such as density of road networks or public transport networks, share of different transport modes, etc.
3. Data on the public transport performance e.g. number of stations, the number of routes, passenger km, etc.
4. Data on parking, e.g. types, price and the numbers of parking.

Students will work in close collaboration with researchers in this project and will be supervised on the type of data that should be collected. However, they are expected to look into various online sources including available scholarly research and be willing to search non-English sources as well. An experience with transport systems is desirable but not required.

It is possible to work from a distance, and Chalmers will pay for the visits to Göteborg.

EGSIEM Student Challenge

The Horizon 2020 funded European Gravity Service for Improved Emergency Management project (EGSIEM - more information available at www.egsiem.eu) aims to enhance existing gravity field products by providing them in an increased spatial-temporal resolution for improved forecasting and mapping of hydrological extreme events, thereby accelerating earth and environmental science research applications.

A student challenge has been organized within the EGSIEM project, in order to increase awareness among B.Sc. and M.Sc. students about the most recent and important research topics in geodesy, hydrology and other environmental disciplines. The challenge will seek to widen knowledge and participation by providing an overview of what, why and how research in this field is undertaken. The challenge is composed of two rounds; the first round is based on 20 multiple-choice questions. Students from relevant fields should be able to answer all the questions with the help of online/offline resources. Any participants who can answer at least 15 of the 20 questions will be invited to participate in the second round. The second round is composed of another 20 questions which will require a written answer. While participating in both rounds students will learn more about the fundamentals of earth observation satellite missions, measurement principles, accuracy of measurements, the importance of Earth's gravity field data, and finally how we utilize GRACE based mass-transport as an indicator for drought/flood monitoring and management.

The best two participants from the overall challenge will be awarded an internship at one of the eight research institutes of the EGSIEM consortium. Internships could be from 6 to 8 weeks. The students will be awarded their travel expenses, accommodation, health, accident and personal liability insurance. The third and fourth placed participants will be given scholarships for the EGSIEM summer school. The scholarship covers travel expenses, accommodation, health, accident and personal liability insurance. In addition, all students successfully passing the 1st round will be awarded with a certificate of participation in the EGSIEM challenge and an EGSIEM travel mug.

This unique challenge is available at: http://challenge.egsiem.eu/. Students should register for the 1st round of the challenge by 10^th November. The second round will commence on 15^th November and the deadline to answer these questions will be 20^th December (all times until midnight, central European time). After successful registration a link to the challenge questions will be sent to the participants registered email address within 24 hours.

Place: Lecture room D34, Lindstedtsvägen 5, D-huset, level 3, at the KTH main Campus in Stockholm

Lecturer: Jan Johansson

Founded in 1949, hosted by Chalmers University of Technology, and operated on behalf of the Swedish research council, Onsala Space Observatory is the Swedish national facility for radio astronomy. The observatory provides scientists with equipment to study the Earth and the Universe. Several radio telescopes are operated in Onsala and these take part in international projects, for example the 20 m and 25 m telescopes used for studies of the birth and death of stars. The Onsala Space Observatory is also a geodetic fundamental station, and there are several ongoing geodetic projects at the observatory.

The presentation will provide a review of the history of the observatory as well as an introduction to the facilities and some of the current activities and results.

“Study of the contribution of an ionospheric model embedded on a dual frequency receiver”

 Abstract:

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a system that allows a receiver to know its position. It includes GPS (Global Positioning System), a system designed by the United States, Galileo (European), Beidou (Chinese) and others. Currently, with a stand-alone GPS receiver, the accuracy on the position estimation is around 1m. Indeed, GNSS signals are altered when spreading through the atmosphere and can be diffracted, reflected or scattered by the nearby environment of the receptor. These contributions (respectively called atmospheric delay and multipath) lead to errors on the receiver position estimate. The goal of this study is to present methods in order to tackle these errors in the GNSS receiver.

The work was carried out at CNES - the French Space Center in Toulouse, France.

Main supervisor: Anna Jensen, KTH

Co-supervisors: Marion Aubault and Sebastien Rougerie, CNES.
