Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• must have knowledge on Geodetic infrastructure (ITRS, ITRF, ETRS and ETRF) including relevant geodetic observation and calculation methods

• must have knowledge on GNSS including strategies for error reduction in observations, as well as geophysical corrections

• must have knowledge on various height systems and their definitions

• must have knowledge on relevant mathematical and statistical tools

Skills

• must be able to use software or online services to perform GNSS baseline and precise point position processing

• must be able to perform reference frame transformations

• must be able to correct for intraplate deformations caused by e.g. imperfections in realisation, postglacial rebound, and earthquakes

• must be able to transform between different height systems

Competences

• must be able to judge the effect of choosing between different GNSS processing strategies

• must be able to choose observation and processing methods to obtain the best tie to a given reference frame and/or height system
