Learning outcomes
|
Knowledge - knowledge resulting from the course: |
Participants of this course gain practical experiences with surveying and processing of gravity data. They learn how to operate a relative gravimeter and estimate three dimensional positions of gravity stations. Applications of gravity data in geodesy, namely estimation of the gravimetric quasi-geoid and physically-defined heights, are also tested within this course. |
