Synopsis
The key subject areas covered in this course are: horizontal and vertical datums; map projections and coordinate systems; and GNSS surveys. These are presented largely in the Australian context though the fundamental principles are entirely transferable across the globe. This course assumes some prior knowledge of the fundamental principles involved in determining the size and shape of the earth, and basics of the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) map projection. In Geodetic Surveying B we expand on this prior knowledge and develop advanced-level application skills in solving complex geodetic problems, particularly with respect to calculations on the spheroid, calculations on the UTM map projection, and coordinate transformations.
