Geodesy and GIS
7.5 ECTS creditsInstruction is in the form of lectures and lab work.
The course covers map projection, primarily Transversal Mercator and its impact on geodetic surveying. An important part of the course inclues coordinate transformations in two and three dimensions in order to merge geographic data from different reference systems.
The course inclues deformation analyses of geodetic control point networks and problem correction models. The consequences of using satellite-based navigation systems in existing geodetic control point networks are treated.
Instruction is in the form of lectures and laboratory sessions. The course includes a large amount of computation exercises in which students learn to use software for coordinate transformations in order to merge data from different reference systems.
