Product Description

This volume of proceedings is a collection of refereed papers resulting from the VI Hotine-Marussi Symposium on Theoretical and Computational Geodesy. The papers cover almost every topic of geodesy, with particular emphasis on satellite gravity modelling, geodynamics, GPS data processing and applications, statistical estimation and prediction theory, and geodetic inverse problem theory and geodetic boundary value problems. Particular attention is paid to topics of fundamental importance in the next one or two decades in Earth Science, seafloor geodesy, for example, and in statistics, mixed integer linear models, for example, and even goes beyond traditional geodetic topics, environmental monitoring by geodetic methods, for example. It serves researchers by providing most updated information on theoretical and computational advance in geodesy and beyond, graduate students by guiding them to unresolved problems, and mathematicians with challenging mathematical frontiers arising from modern space technology.

Product Description
Precise and continuous tracking with multi-satellite systems of aircraft and low flying satellites, accurate airborne measurement of gravity and gravity gradients, and satellite gradiometry have fundamentally changed our view on the determination of the Earth's gravity field. The papers in this volume describe these techniques in detail. The ideas are presented as complementary, and are used to develop new theoretical concepts of gravity field analysis. Computational models using these techniques are also discussed and are tested in simulations. The papers presented in this volume are the result of an IAG symposium held during the XX General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics in Vienna, Austria, August 11-24, 1991. ...

Product Description
The book contains the papers presented at the IAG Symposium on Vertical Reference Systems held in Cartagena, Colombia, in February 2001. It covers the status report of existing height reference systems and the latest steps towards the establishment of a unified vertical reference system. Classical and modern height determination techniques are included as well as the determination of height reference surfaces like sea level and geoid. Emphasis is also given to the variations of the reference systems with time, i.e., sea level changes and geodynamic deformations. ... Read more

Product Description
In Coordinates in Geodesy definitions and transformations are treated based on the general principles of differential geometry for surfaces and three-dimensional Euclidean space, strictly using the tensor calculus. The broad approach applying general concepts of constructing and transforming coordinates allows clearly arranged solutions for all geodetic applications. Moreover, the great number of examples given in this book explain in detail the principles of coordinates in geodetic surveying using ellipsoids of revolution as reference surfaces. ... Read more

Product Description
Geodesy has undergone technological and theoretical changes of immense proportions since the launching of Sputnik. The accuracy of current satellite geodetic data has approached the centimeter level and will improve by one or two orders of magnitude over the next decade. This bodes well for the application of geodetic data to the solution of problems in solid earth, oceanic and atmospheric sciences. The report "Geodesy in the Year 2000" addresses many areas of investigation that will benefit from this improvement in accuracy. ... Read more

Product Description

This volume represents the proceedings of the International Symposium on Gravity, Geoid, and Space Missions (GGSM2004), held in Porto, Portugal, 30 August - 3 September 2004. The symposium encompassed the themes of Commission 2 (Gravity Field) of IAG, as well as interdisciplinary topics related to geoid and gravity field, including integration of heterogeneous data and contributions from satellite and airborne techniques. Special focus was on gravity-dedicated satellite missions like CHAMP, GRACE, and GOCE. Projects addressing topographic and ice field mapping using SAR, LIDAR, and laser altimetry, as well as missions and studies related to planetary geodesy were also covered.

Product Description
In 1954, Antonio Marussi started a series of symposia in Venice. The first three of these covered the entire theoretical definition of 3-D geodesy as delineated in discussions with renowned contemporary scientists, particularly Martin Hotine. After Marussi's death, the symposia were finally named the Hotine-Marussi Symposia and were continued in Italy. The Third Hotine-Marussi Symposium was held in L'Aquila from May 30 to June 3, 1994. It provided geodesists interested in theory and methodology with the opportunity to discuss their theoretical achievements, as well as new topics in the geodetic sciences. This book thus provides an updated overview of the main geodetic theories in various fields of application. ... Read more

Product Description
This volume documents the IAG Symposium "GPS Trends in Precise Terrestrial, Airborne, and Spaceborne Applications" held in July 1995 during the 21st IUGG General Assembly in Boulder, Colorado.
An overview of implementation of the International GPS Service for Geodynamics (IGS) is followed by a documentation of GPS developments in the fields of spaceborne and kinematic applications of the GPS. Another part of the proceedings is devoted to a new branch of GPS research, theory and methodology conclude the volume. These proceedings not only reflect the state of the art in science- and engineering-oriented GPS research in the year 1995, but also contain many indications for future developments. ... Read more
