  • Minding the Heavensby Leila Belkora

    CRC Press 2002; US$ 32.95

    This text is about how we discovered that we live in a galaxy, in fact a universe full of galaxies. It tells the story of the discovery of our own and other galaxies through the lives of seven astronomers, who contributed greatly to our present understanding of where we live in the cosmos. more...

  • A Window on the Future of Geodesyby F. Sanso

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 309.00

    This book collects the proceedings of the symposia held during the 36th IAG General Assembly. This international event, held every fourth year, serves as a forum to announce and record new achievements and the primary research directions of the worldwide geodetic community. The actual date of this assembly, on the verge of the 3rd millennium, adds a particular accent to the results and proposals collected here, which is especially exemplified by the new perspectives derived by the advanced tools and techniques of earth observation from space platforms. Not to be overlooked are the enhanced capabilities of the now classic navigation and positioning systems, under the collective name GNSS. Together with classic techniques like SLR, VLBI, Doris,... more...

  • Solving Algebraic Computational Problems in Geodesy and Geoinformaticsby Joseph L. Awange; Erik W. Grafarend

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 159.00

    The book presents modern and efficient methods for solving Geodetic and Geoinformatics algebraic problems using computer algebra techniques of Ring, polynomials, Groebner basis, resultants, Gauss-Jacobi combinatorial and Procrustes algorithms. Although these problems are traditionally solved by approximate methods, this book presents alternative algebraic techniques based on computer algebra tools. This new approach meets such modern challenges as resection by laser techniques, solution of orientation in robotics, transformation and bundle block adjustment in geoinformatics, densification of engineering networks, analytical solution for GPS-meteorology and many other problems. For mathematicians the book provides some practical examples of... more...

  • Observation of the Earth System from Spaceby Jakob Flury; Reiner Rummel; Christoph Reigber

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 219.00

    Based on the six projects covering Earth gravity field and Earth rotation research, this book provides a summary of the obtained results, which are relevant for the scientific community working in gravity field and Earth rotation research. more...

  • Future Satellite Gravimetry and Earth Dynamicsby Jakob Flury; Reiner Rummel

    Springer 2006; US$ 139.00

    A first generation of dedicated satellite missions for the precise mapping of the Earth's gravity field is in orbit (CHAMP, GRACE, and soon GOCE). In this book, Earth scientists develop visions of future applications based on follow-on high-precision satellite gravimetry missions. more...

  • Mathematical Foundation of Geodesyby Kai Borre

    Springer 2006; US$ 219.00

    Contains selected papers by Torben Krarup, one of the most important geodesists of the 20th century. This book demonstrates his innovative ability to present significant topics and concepts. It is suitable for modern students of geodesy, who can learn a lot from his selection of mathematical tools for solving actual problems. more...

  • VI Hotine-marussi Symposium on Theoretical and Computational Geodesyby Peiliang Xu; Jingnan Liu; Athanasios Dermanis

    Springer 2008; US$ 199.00

    This volume of proceedings is a collection of refereed papers resulting from the VI Hotine-Marussi Symposium on Theoretical and Computational Geodesy. The papers cover almost every topic of geodesy, with particular emphasis on satellite gravity modelling, geodynamics, GPS data processing and applications, statistical estimation and prediction theory, and geodetic inverse problem theory and geodetic boundary value problems. Particular attention is paid to topics of fundamental importance in the next one or two decades in Earth Science, seafloor geodesy, for example, and in statistics, mixed integer linear models, for example, and even goes beyond traditional geodetic topics, environmental monitoring by geodetic methods, for example. It serves... more...

  • Satellite Geodesyby Günter Seeber

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2003; US$ 79.95

    This text covers the entire field of satellite geodesy, with basic chapters covering topics such as reference systems, time, signal propagation and observation methods. Particular emphasis is given to the current status of the Global Positioning System (GPS). more...

  • Geodäsieby Wolfgang Torge

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2002; US$ 55.95

    This book gives a systematic overview of the fundamental theories, frameworks and methods for measurement and evaluation applying to geodesy, though the contribution of geodetic spatial techniques for positioning and for establishing the gravitational field receives particular emphasis. These methods have led to a change in the setting up of geodetic basic networks that is also of importance in practical terms; for interdisciplinary geodynamics research geodesy can likewise make major contributions with their assistance. The current status of geodesy is illustrated by numerous examples from survey, evaluation and analysis; an extensive literature list makes further study all the easier. The book conveys an extensive overview of the profound... more...
