- Abstract
The fifth edition of this textbook has
been completely revised and significantly extended in order to reflect
the revolution of geodetic technologies, methods and applications during
the last decade. The Global Geodetic Observing System established by
the IAG utilizes a variety of techniques to determine the geometric
shape of the earth and its kinematics, the variations of earth rotation,
and the earth's gravity field. The societal importance of geodetic
products was highlighted by the UN resolution on the Global Geodetic
Reference Frame. In this context, both space and terrestrial techniques
play a fundamental role. Recent space missions are monitoring
climate-relevant processes such as mass transport in the Earth system
and sea level changes. The analysis of the time variation of the
geodetic products provides the link to neighboring geosciences and
contributes to proper modelling of geodynamic processes. New satellite
mission concepts and novel technologies such as quantum gravimetry and
optical clocks show great potential to further improve the geodetic
observing system in the future. The book especially addresses graduate
students in the fields of geodesy, geophysics, surveying engineering,
geomatics, and space navigation. It should also serve as a reference for
geoscientists and engineers facing geodetic problems in their
professional work. The book follows the principal directions of geodesy,
providing the theoretical background as well as the principles of
measurement and evaluation methods, which is enriched with numerous
figures. An extensive reference list supports further studies.
