Unit I
GEODETIC CONTROL
Horizontal control – characteristics – method and standards for triangulation, traversing, trilateration, inertial and space techniques (Doppler GPS, SLR and VLBI) – computation – problems on spherical coordinates. Vertical control – characteristics – method and standards for spirit levelling, trigonometrical levelling and space techniques – computations- national networks.
Unit II
GEODETIC COMPUTATIONS
Rectangular and Polar Co – ordinates – First and Second geodetic problem – Similarity, Affine Projective and Polynomial transformation – methods of point determinations – problems on intersection, resection, arc section and also with over determinations, polar method and its extension.
Unit III

Unit IV
HEIGHT SYSTEMS
Geo potential number – Orthometric height, Normal height, Dynamic height and their corrections -computation of orthometric height, Ellipsoidal height and its determination with a single and reciprocal observation of vertical angle – geoidal height – methods and computation.
Unit V
MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS
Crystal movements and plate motion – methods of determination of horizontal and vertical movements – dam deformation- earth tides – tidal forces, tidal response of the solid earth, tidal loading, analyzing and predicting earth tides, earth tide instrumentation – satellite altimetry -observations, computation and interpretation and application – Gravity Field Missions: satellite-to-satellite tracking – CHAMP and GRACE Satellite gravity gradiometry: GOCE.
Course Outcomes:
•On completion of the course, the student is expected to
