Introduction to Geodesy and Geoinformation

What it is about

The module introduces central topics of geodesy and geoinformation: from earth observation and satellite geodesy through gravimetry to geoinformatics and cartography. You will learn the fundamentals of geodetic measurement and modeling methods and be able to apply them to fundamental practical problems, with particular focus on applications in aerospace engineering.

What you will be able to do

• Understand basic principles of geodesy
• Understand geodetic measurement and modeling methods
• Apply geodetic methods to practical problems (aerospace-relevant)
• Understand the role of satellite observations for monitoring geodynamical processes
• Develop concepts for applying geodetic methods in aerospace
• Communicate technically with geodesy and aerospace experts
