Geodesy Course
This course equips learners with essential geodesy knowledge for coastal engineering projects. It covers GNSS, levelling, gravity data, geoid models, and vertical datums to build accurate control networks, address subsidence and tidal influences, and minimise risks in practical geographical and geological contexts. Participants gain confidence in delivering high-precision height systems for demanding applications.

What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to establishing precise coastal height systems. Participants will explore modern reference frames, coordinate systems, and vertical datums, applying GNSS, precise levelling, gravity data, and geoid models to create reliable control networks. Key skills include uncertainty analysis, validation, documentation, and risk management to satisfy rigorous coastal engineering and harbour protection standards.
