The third edition of this well-known textbook, first published in 1980, has been completely revised in order to adequately reflect the drastic changes which occured in the field of geodesy in the last twenty years. Reference systems are now well established by space techniques, which dominate positioning and gravity field determination. Terrestrial techniques still play an important role at local and regional applications, whereby remarkable progress has been made with respect to automatic data aquisition. Evaluation methods are now three-dimensional in principle, and have to take the gravity field into account. Geodetic control networks follow these developments, with far-reaching consequences for geodetic practice. Finally, the increased accuracy of geodetic products and high data rates have significantly increased the contributions of geodesy to geodynamics research, thus strengthening the role of geodesy within the geosciences. The present state of geodesy is illustrated by recent examples of instruments and results. An extensive reference list supports further studies.
This standard textbook covers in its extensively revised 5th edition all main directions of geodesy, providing the theoretical background as well as modern principles of measurement and evaluation methods. Today’s geodetic work is comprehensively presented by numerous examples of instruments. New: Novel geodetic reference system; Future gravity field mission concepts and technologies; Principle of quantum gravimetry.
The 18 papers of the book give a comprehensive overview over recent advancesof geodetic research in Latin America. The book is divided in three parts: 1. Geodetic and gravimetric control in Latin America 2. Regional Gravity and Geoid Determination 3. Geodynamic Research Projects The Symposium was held in Vienna, August 1991, at the General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics.
Mit einer uber zweitausendjahrigen Geschichte gehort die Geodasie neben der Astronomie und der Geographie zu den altesten Wissenschaften, die sich mit der Thematik Erde bzw. andere Himmelskorper befassen. In diesem Werk wird die Entwicklung der Geodasie vom Altertum uber das Mittelalter und die fruhe Neuzeit bis in die Mitte des 20. Jahrhundert vorgestellt, mit einer immer starker werdenden Konzentration auf Deutschland. Zahlreiche grotenteils farbige Abbildungen erganzen den Text. Behandelte Epochen: Altertum, Mittelalter, fruhe Neuzeit, napoleonische Zeit, Entstehung geodatischer Systeme bis zur Reichsgrundung, Preuens Einfluss auf die Landesvermessung, radikale Veranderung der Geodasie in der zweiten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit uber 200, teilweise farbigen Illustrationen.
Das Buch gibt einen systematischen UEberblick uber die grundlegenden Theorien, die Bezugssysteme und die Mess- und Auswertemethoden der Geodasie, wobei der Beitrag der geodatischen Raumtechniken zur Positionierung und zur Schwerefeldbestimmung besonders herausgestellt wird. Diese Methoden haben auch zu einem fur die Praxis wichtigen Wandel in der Einrichtung geodatischer Grundlagennetze gefuhrt. Zur interdisziplinaren Geodynamikforschung kann die Geodasie damit ebenfalls wesentliche Beitrage leisten. Der gegenwartige Stand der Geodasie wird durch eine Vielzahl von Beispielen aus Messung, Auswertung und Analyse illustriert, ein umfangreiches Literaturverzeichnis erleichtert ein weitergehendes Studium. Das Buch vermittelt einen umfassenden UEberblick uber die tiefgreifenden Veranderungen, welche die Geodasie in den vergangenen zwanzig Jahren erfahren hat.
This book presents the developments of geodesy from antiquity through the Middle Ages and the early modern era, right up to the middle of the 20th century, with a special focus on the developments in Germany.
The fourth edition of this textbook has been thoroughly revised in order to reflect the central role which geodesy has achieved in the past ten years. The Global Geodetic Observing System established by the IAG utilizes a variety of techniques to determine the geometric shape of the earth and its kinematics, the variations of earth rotation, and the earth's gravity field. Space techniques play a fundamental role, with recent space missions also including gravity field recovery. Terrestrial techniques are important for regional and local applications, and for validating the results of the space missions. Global and regional reference systems are now well established and widely used. They also serve as a basis for geo-information systems. The analysis of the time variation of the geodetic products provides the link to other geosciences and contributes to proper modelling of geodynamic processes. The book follows the principal directions of geodesy, providing the theoretical background as well as the principles of measurement and evaluation methods. Selected examples of instruments illustrate the geodetic work. An extensive reference list supports further studies. The book is intended to serve as an introductory textbook for graduate students as well as a reference for scientists and engineers in the fields of geodesy, geophysics, surveying engineering and geomatics.
