Advanced Geodesy (GLS 611) Syllabus Notes



    This syllabus introduces the students to the latest technology in surveying data acquisition and data processing for control surveying purposes. The course gives an extends on students knowledge on positioning methodology and coordinate transformation software. It consists of Physical Geodesy and Satellite Geodesy. The first section covers the study of the physical properties of the gravity field and its geodetic applications. The second section of the course focuses on positioning from artificial Earth's satellite. This syllabus will provide an understanding on the basic concepts of physical geodesy and extend the knowledge into surveying and mapping. Additionally, it will have sufficient theoretical and practical background of space positioning techniques.
