Ausgewählte Kapitel der physikalischen Geodäsie

What it is about

You engage with selected current topics in physical geodesy, including practical applications. You will learn to understand and apply processes such as the behavior of continental ice masses, interactions of the cryosphere with the ocean/atmosphere/solid earth, as well as the analysis and design of gravity field missions.

What you will be able to do

• Understand aspects of selected topics in physical geodesy
• Independently analyze cross-disciplinary tasks and problems
• Analyze complementary earth observation and model data
• Apply selected methods to practically relevant questions
• Evaluate results
