Yüksel Altiner has earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the Yildiz Technical University of Istanbul and Master and Doctoral degrees from the University of Bonn. In 1997, he was named a University Docent in Geodesy by the Turkish Interuniversity Committee. He developed an Analytical Surface Deformation Theory, which was published in a book in 1999 and later translated from English into Chinese. Since 1989, he has worked in the Geodesy Division of the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Mainly interested in geodetic study of the earth’s crust movements using GNSS data.

Space physics and its different flavours have been my passion for my entire career. Curiosity to learn and understand combined to the ambition for teaching has driven me to work around the world from finnish universities and research institutes to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Bergen University and the world´s most northern university UNIS in Svalbard. I have a PhD degree, teacher´s qualification and long-term expertise with 60+ peer-reviewed publications on the topics related to the magnetism, Sun-Earth coupling, space and ground instrument development and auroral substorms. Magnetic environment monitoring in different time-scales from seconds to solar cycles is important for securing high-tech society and its main functions including energy, heat and electricity supply, aviation, navigation and telecommunication.

My main scientific expertise areas include detecting magnetic signals from terrestrial and extraterrestrial sources, space weather and space climate, instrument and sensing system building for observing magnetic activity and induction at the Earth, and examination of magnetic disturbances and their sources in various environments. My main teaching methods are “teaching by curiosity” and “teaching by doing” and I am continuously seeking for possibilities to organize field works, workshops and other hands-on-activities for students.
