Gravimetry

TORGE, Wolfgang

de Gruyter

This 2nd edition of the well-established "Introduction to Geodesy", first published in 1980, provides a systematic overview of the Earth's gravity field and the geodetic reference systems. It describes the methods of data collection and processing employed in both global geodesy and national geodetic surveys. The text has been thoroughly revised, with major changes in the chapters dealing with reference systems, terrestrial and spatial measurement techniques, including recent developments in satellite positioning, combined methods of data evaluation and gravity field modeling, geodetic contributions to geodynamics research, and the establishment of national geodetic networks. Examples of instruments and results have been updated, as well as the extensive reference list. As a basic textbook it is oriented primarily towards graduate students in the fields of geodesy, surveying, cartography, geophysics, and terrestrial and space navigation. The book will also serve as a reference for geoscientists and engineers facing geodetic problems in their professional tasks.

The third edition of this well-known textbook, first published in 1980, has been completely revised in order to adequately reflect the drastic changes which occured in the field of geodesy in the last twenty years. Reference systems are now well established by space techniques, which dominate positioning and gravity field determination. Terrestrial techniques still play an important role at local and regional applications, whereby remarkable progress has been made with respect to automatic data aquisition. Evaluation methods are now three-dimensional in principle, and have to take the gravity field into account. Geodetic control networks follow these developments, with far-reaching consequences for geodetic practice. Finally, the increased accuracy of geodetic products and high data rates have significantly increased the contributions of geodesy to geodynamics research, thus strengthening the role of geodesy within the geosciences. The present state of geodesy is illustrated by recent examples of instruments and results. An extensive reference list supports further studies.

Astronomy & Space Science

Das Buch gibt einen systematischen Überblick über die grundlegenden Theorien, die Bezugssysteme und die Mess- und Auswertemethoden der Geodäsie, wobei der Beitrag der geodätischen Raumtechniken zur Positionierung und zur Schwerefeldbestimmung besonders herausgestellt wird. Diese Methoden haben auch zu einem für die Praxis wichtigen Wandel in der Einrichtung geodätischer Grundlagennetze geführt. Zur interdisziplinären Geodynamikforschung kann die Geodäsie damit ebenfalls wesentliche Beiträge leisten. Der gegenwärtige Stand der Geodäsie wird durch eine Vielzahl von Beispielen aus Messung, Auswertung und Analyse illustriert, ein umfangreiches Literaturverzeichnis erleichtert ein weitergehendes Studium. Das Buch vermittelt einen umfassenden Überblick über die tiefgreifenden Veränderungen, welche die Geodäsie in den vergangenen zwanzig Jahren erfahren hat.

With a history spanning over two thousand years, geodesy belongs, along with astronomy and geography, to the oldest sciences that deal with the topic of the Earth or other celestial bodies. In this work, the development of geodesy is introduced from antiquity through the Middle Ages and the early modern era, right up to the middle of the 20th century, making use of an ever more heavily emphasized concentration on Germany.

History

The fifth edition of this textbook has been completely revised and significantly extended in order to reflect the revolution of geodetic technologies, methods and applications during the last decade. The Global Geodetic Observing System established by the IAG utilizes a variety of techniques to determine the geometric shape of the earth and its kinematics, the variations of earth rotation, and the earth’s gravity field. The societal importance of geodetic products was highlighted by the UN resolution on the Global Geodetic Reference Frame. In this context, both space and terrestrial techniques play a fundamental role. Recent space missions are monitoring climate-relevant processes such as mass transport in the Earth system and sea level changes. The analysis of the time variation of the geodetic products provides the link to neighboring geosciences and contributes to proper modelling of geodynamic processes. New satellite mission concepts and novel technologies such as quantum gravimetry and optical clocks show great potential to further improve the geodetic observing system in the future. The book especially addresses graduate students in the fields of geodesy, geophysics, surveying engineering, geomatics, and space navigation. It should also serve as a reference for geoscientists and engineers facing geodetic problems in their professional work. The book follows the principal directions of geodesy, providing the theoretical background as well as the principles of measurement and evaluation methods, which is enriched with numerous figures. An extensive reference list supports further studies. Popular textbook for graduate students as well as a valuable reference for scientists and engineers. Covering Geodesy, Geophysics, Surveying Engineering and Geomatics. Supporting list for further reading.
