| General Information | Geodetic Research Laboratory uses microwave-based geodetic systems (GPS, satellite InSAR, and ground-based radar) and electronic/optical instrument (total station, nivo) to investigate changes in the Earth's land and water surfaces. The geodetic data allow study of a variety of natural and artificial processes including plate motion, monitoring of the earthquake faults, building movements, dam deformation and hydrological survey. Furthermore, topographic maps at various scales for many land related studies including cadastral surveying, land use planning and construction projects can be produced. The main focus of the laboratory is excellence in education and research in the domain of Geodesy and of its applications in Civil Engineering. The Laboratory has contributed so far in the theoretical and practical education of post-graduate students. |
