The fourth edition of this textbook has been thoroughly revised in order
to reflect the central role which geodesy has achieved in the past ten
years. 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. Space techniques play a fundamental role, with
recent space missions also including gravity field recovery. Terrestrial
techniques are important for regional and local applications, and for
validating the results of the space missions. Global and regional
reference systems are now well established and widely used. They also
serve as a basis for geo-information systems. The analysis of the time
variation of the geodetic products provides the link to other geosciences
and contributes to proper modelling of geodynamic processes. The book
follows the principal directions of geodesy, providing the theoretical
background as well as the principles of measurement and evaluation
methods. Selected examples of instruments illustrate the geodetic work. An
extensive reference list supports further studies. The book is intended to
serve as an introductory textbook for graduate students as well as a
reference for scientists and engineers in the fields of geodesy,
geophysics, surveying engineering and geomatics
An introductory textbook for graduate students of geodesy, geophysics, and surveying.
