GEOM 660 - Applied Geodetic Measurements

When Offered: F/S

3 Credit(s)
This course will consist of advanced topics in geometric geodesy and map projections and an introduction to physical geodesy. Advanced geometric geodetic computations and the programming of map projection transformations are covered. The geoid will be studied and the computation of ellipsoid, orthometric, and geoid heights and their application will be examined. Geodetic Height Modernization and its implications in surveying and engineering will be explored.

Prerequisite(s): GEOM 360 or instructor permission
