Staff Profile
Dr Pingping Huang
Research Associate in GNSS Geodesy
Background
I am a research associate in GNSS Geodesy within the group of Geospatial Engineering in the School of Engineering. I got my PhD in modelling of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) and worked as a researcher on ocean tide loading (OTL) modelling before joining Newcastle University.
My work focuses on extracting OTL/GIA signals from GNSS datasets and using the signal to constrain material properties of the solid Earth including elasticity, anelasticity and viscosity.
Research
My research involves both GNSS data processing and inverse numerical modelling. The former includes 1) Precise Point Positioning (PPP) and 2) Real Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning. The later is about constraining the elastic, anelastic and viscous structures of the Earth.
