Overview

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 occurred 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 acquisition. 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.

Reviews

There is sufficient new material in this edition to prompt anyone seriously interested in the subject to consider purchasing it. L. M. Sebert in: Geomatica 1/2002 Dieses Buch wird allen Geod sie-Studenten und den Berufskollegen, die mit geod tischen Fragestellungen konfrontiert werden, zur Anschaffung w rmstens empfohlen. B. Witte in: Fl chenmanagement und Bodenordnung Es ist das bisher einzige Textbuch mit einem aktuellen berblick ber die Geometrische und Physikalische Geod sie, ber geod tische Referenzsysteme und ber die zeitabh ngigen geod tischen Konzeptionen im Zeitalter der geod tischen 'NanoScience'. Der Autor ist zum neuesten Werk zu begl ckw nschen: M ge eine weitere Verbreitung ein minimaler Dank f r die jahrzehntelange harte Arbeit am neuen Text sein. Als Leitfaden f r die eigene Arbeit ben tigt jeder Geod t und Geoinformatiker dieses hoch willkommene Textbuch. E. W. Grafarend in: Zeitschrift f r Vermessungswesen 6/2001 Deshalb k nnen wir das Buch als Lehr- und Handbuch
