Course Description
The course provides assessments to candidates that impacts on the research of GPS and geophysical modelling. The study covers precise orbit determination of altimetric and geodetic satellites, changes in sea level, gravity observations. It aids towarrds understanding of ocean currents, world's hydrological cycles, atmospheric conditions, global climate change, post-glacial rebound, and elastic deformation. Particularly as it relates to precautions taken to tackle natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and flooding.
