| | | | | | | Call for ideas in satellite navigation - Galileo Masters 2007
30 April 2007
| The winners of the European Satellite Navigation Competition ‘Galileo Masters 2006. Conor Keegan from the United Kingdom was selected by a jury of 80 international experts as the overall winner of the competition for his GeoSynch application that could help to predict natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis. Alongside Keegan (6th from the right) can be seen the other finalists at the SYSTEMS fair 2006 in Munich.

| | | | | Conor Keegan won the Galileo Masters 2006 competition with his proposal for an innovative seismography system using the very accurate GNSS timing signals, which will be available when the European Galileo system becomes operational in 2011-12. The solution proposed by Keegan will considerably reduce the cost of seismography surveys and open up the lower end of the seismography market. For example, it could be used by development agencies to locate sites for water wells, to survey potential archaeological sites before starting digs or by local councils to perform hazardous waste site studies.
