Introduction to Engineering Geodesy: methods, instruments, and applications.

Mapping aquifers for water supply, identifying archaeological remains for protection, and assessing landslides for geohazard mitigation highlight the critical role of near-surface geophysics. The course ‘Geophysical Field Work and Processing’, split into ‘Methods’, ‘Preparation’, and ‘Field Work’, offers a practice-oriented introduction to conducting near-surface geophysical investigations.

This course is an advanced introduction to spatial and temporal reference systems for acquisition, analysis and communication of geospatial data. The course covers definitions, conventions and comprehensive real world examples of coordinate reference systems, time reference systems, their respective practical realization, and operations for changing data between them.
