GPS for Geodesy
This monograph contains the revised and edited lecture notes of the Internatonal School GPS for Geodesy an Delft, The Netneriands, March 26 through Apn! 1. 1995. The objectivc of the school was to provide the necessary information to understand the potential and the limutations of the Global Positioning System for applicatons in the field of pcodesy. The school was held in the excellent facilities ol thc DISH Hotel, and attracted 60 geodesists and geophysicists from Arnerica, Asia, Australia, and Europc.
The school was organized into lectures and discussion sessions. There were two lecture penods in the morning and two lecture periods in the afternoon, followed by a discussion session in the early evening. A welcome interruption to this regular schedule was a visit to the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk in the afternoon of March 29. A tour of the Noordwijk Space Expo and the ESA satellite test facilities, and presentations by ESTEC personnel of GPS and GNSS related activities at ESTEC, provided a different perspective to space geodesy.
The school had the support of the International Association of Geodesy, the Netherlands Geodetic Commission, the Department of Geodetic Engineering of the Technical University of Delft, the Department of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering of the University of New Brunswick, and the Survey Department of Rijkswaterstaat. This support is gratefully acknowledged.
The organization of the International School began in early 1994, with the knowledgeable help of Frans Schroder of the Netherlands Geodetic Commission. Throughout the year of preparation and during the school, Frans Schroder looked after student registration and organized facilities, and thereby ensured the success of the school.
The International School GPS for Geodesy would not have been possible without a team of dedicated lecturers of international reputation with expertise in GPS geodesy. The lecturers were willing to agree beforehand to a shared responsibility for parts of the school presentation and the preparation of the corresponding lecture notes. All authors tried to adhere to a common notation throughout the chapters of the lecture notes, and avoided unnecessary repetitions.
The typescript of these lecture notes was edited by Wendy Wells of the Department of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering of the University of New Brunswick. She received expert help on Chapter 8 from Jasmine van der Bijl of the Department of Geodetic Engineering, Delft University of Technology. Ms Wells Succeeded in.producing a coherently formatted manuscript from bits and pieces Created with three different word processors on two different computer platforms.
