A Message from the Direc tors

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), including the Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) are a space technology that can help socio-economic transformation and full integration of developing countries into the world economy. GNSS applications can be used to increase food security, manage natural resources, provide efficient emergency location services, improve surveying and mapping, and provide greater precision and safety in land, water and air navigation systems. It also has applications in numerous fields of scientific study including space weather, geophysics, geography, geology, ecology and biology. This workshop is designed with activities to give an in deep view particularly of science applications of GNSS technology.

The workshop will be conducted under an international partnership between the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and Boston College. Under this partnership, ICTP and BC have provided funding and have secured additional funding from a number of institutions including the Institute of Navigation, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the U.S. Air Force, the International Committee for GNSS, the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). In addition, worldwide experts in GNSS have generously donated their time to participate in this workshop as lecturers.

The workshop will include formal lectures and hands-on practice in GNSS architecture, signal structure, hardware, state of the art applications and principally scientific exploration using GNSS. Participants are from 17 countries of Africa, Latin America and Asia. The lecturers have been recruited from the US, Europe, Canada and Africa and have a reputation for excellence in teaching and GNSS. This diverse collection of people will generate an environment for social understanding, international friendships and collaborations. Most importantly, it will represent an international group committed to facilitating the use of GNSS technology for science applications in developing countries.

As we begin this intensive workshop, we sincerely thank you for your participation and look forward to working with you over the next three weeks. If we can be of assistance during the workshop, please let us know.

With best regards,

He is a fellow of the ION and serves as its president. Dr. Endawoke Yizengaw was born and raised in small town of northwestern Ethiopia known as Amber. He received the B.Sc. degree in applied physics from Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia, in 1994, the M.Sc. degrees in atmospheric sciences from Tromso University, Norway, in 1998, and PhD degree in space science from La Trobe University, Australia, in 2004. He spent two years, from 2004 to 2006, as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) of University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), where he won the 2006 Chancellor’s Award for best Postdoctoral Researchers. From 2006 to 2009, he was a Research Faculty with IGPP of UCLA. Since July 2009 he has been a senior research scientist with the Institute for Scientific Research of Boston College in Boston, MA. He has been a Principal or Co-‐investigator in several interdisciplinary projects, primarily deploying ground-‐based instruments which includes AMBER project that comprises five magnetometers

deployed in Africa. He is the author or coauthor of over 40 professional publications, of which more than 30 are in peer-‐reviewed scientific journals. His research interests include space weather, magnetosphere-‐ionosphere coupling, equatorial ionospheric electrodynamics, and ground-‐ and space-‐based GPS tomography. His research is mainly focused on combining information from a variety of ground-‐ and space-‐based instruments to understand ionospheric irregularities that affect the navigation and communication systems

Professor Nikolay Zernov, Head of the Department of Radio Physics at the Faculty of Physics, St.Petersburg State University, Russia. He earned the Academic Degree of Ph.D. (Candidate of Sciences) in Radio Physics from Leningrad (USSR) State University in 1975 and the Academic Degree of Doctor of Sciences in Radio Physics from the Russian Supreme Qualification Committee in 1995. He is Professor in Radio Physics from the Russian Ministry for Science and Education since 2005. His scientific interests lie in the field of the general theory of diffraction and wave propagation, including the waveguide propagation and wave propagation in random media. His recent results published in the international journals, e.g. Radio Science, Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-‐Terrestrial Physics, etc., are on the high frequency transionospheric stochastic channel charactirization and the satellite transionospheric stochastic signal modelling.
