Karine Le Bail

Dr. Karine Le Bail, a Senior Researcher in the Space Geodesy group at Chalmers University of Technology's Onsala Space Observatory, is a distinguished expert in Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and space geodesy. Joining Chalmers in June 2020, her research focuses on the Very Long Baseline Interferometry Global Observing System (VGOS), with particular emphasis on radio source structure and atmospheric turbulence effects on geodetic measurements. As a member of the International DORIS Service Governing Board and through her numerous publications, Le Bail has significantly contributed to improving the accuracy of Earth observation techniques. Her expertise extends to teaching, where she instructs courses on "Sensing Planet Earth – From Core to Outer Space" and "Sensing Planet Earth – Water and Ice." With a background that includes contributions to the GSFC DORIS contribution to ITRF2014 and involvement in various international VLBI projects, Dr. Le Bail plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of Earth's dynamics and in shaping the next generation of geodesists and Earth scientists.
