From 3 July to 7 July 2024, Associate researcher Guangcai Li visited the Nottingham Geospatial Institute (NGI) in the UK. The visit saw a series of profound exchanges between the two sides regarding consumer-grade GNSS and accelerometers in deformation monitoring and geoscience applications. On 5 July, Guangcai Li gave a talk on the latest research work using consumer-grade GNSS and accelerometers in earthquake monitoring. Both online and offline researchers actively participated in the discussion, jointly exploring the contents of the talk and the future research directions.
