MPhil/PhD Geomatics
We publish in leading international journals, at conferences, in the media and through educational outreach programmes. Whether focusing on geodesy or geospatial engineering, you will work with experts to produce research of an international standard.
The School of Engineering enjoys an international reputation for using the latest science to solve problems of global importance. Our research has significant relevance in non-academic settings and we regularly apply it through consultancy to industry, from the global offshore industry to local authorities and survey and engineering companies. We are a key part of the TSB Satellite Applications Catapult North East Centre of Excellence.
For geomatics we have supervision in the following areas:
Satellite geodesy
GPS and geophysical modelling
GPS/GNSS geodesy
precise orbit determination of altimetric and geodetic satellites
sea level
ice sheet mass balance
satellite altimetry
static and temporal gravity field and reference frame analyses from dedicated satellite missions
SAR interferometry
geophysical and industrial deformation monitoring
geodynamics and geohazards
integration of GPS and INS
engineering geodesy
Geospatial Engineering
geoinformatics and advanced GIS
geospatial algorithm development
spatial modelling including network modelling, cellular automata and agent based approaches to spatial complexity
multimedia cartography and information delivery
temporal GIS
geospatial data management
airborne and satellite remote sensing applied to environmental impact assessment
land use, vegetation and pollution monitoring
Earth observation of urban systems
photogrammetry
laser scanning
precise non-contact dimensional control.
