Topics in Geodetic Methods and Applications

3, max. 9

Methods to measure the size, shape, and position of the earth, and constrain the geophysical processes that occur within the earth's lithosphere and subsurface. Introduces various geodetic techniques (such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems, satellite radar, satellite gravity, and altimetry) as well as applications within the disciplines of geoscience, navigation, and hazards monitoring. Topics vary. Recommended: either ESS 502, ESS 504, ESS 505, or ESS 511; PHYS 121 or PHYS 122; and MATH 207 or MATH 208.
