The national geoid model of Albania, ALBGEOID2024, has been published in the scientific symposium “IAG Symposia” of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), published by Springer Nature.
This publication shows that ALBGEOID2024 has successfully passed the evaluation process by foreign experts in the field, certifying its reliability, quality and scientific validity.
The “IAG Symposia” series includes the most prominent contributions of the symposia of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) and addresses fundamental topics of global geodesy such as:
· Geodetic reference frames,
· Earth’s gravity field,
· Geodynamics and Earth’s rotation,
· Positioning and engineering applications.
The publication of the ALBGEOID2024 Model in this prestigious series places Albania on the map of international contributions in the field of geodesy and represents a major step forward towards building a unified and reliable national geospatial infrastructure.
This model will serve as the supporting basis for a modern vertical geodetic reference with high accuracy, which will be further improved through:
· Densification of the third-order gravimetric network,
· Extension of the first-order leveling network.
Covering the entire territory of the Republic of Albania in accordance with the most advanced European and international standards, the ALBGEOID2024 Model is the result of the use of contemporary techniques for modeling the gravity field, as well as the integration of data from various sources, including:
· Ground gravimetric measurements,
· Global geopotential and altimetric models,
· Local and global digital terrain models (DTM),
· GNSS and leveling measurements.
This combination of data has enabled the construction of a model with high scientific quality and complete reliability, suitable for a wide range of practical and scientific applications.
