Description:
The module provides knowledge and skills in the use of satellite positioning techniques in environmental applications. Within the module, students become acquainted with the components of the GNSS, methods of determining the position by the GNSS receivers, as well as with the areas of application of the satellite positioning techniques. During the course, students will acquire the skills of navigational and geodetic measurements using different classes of the GNSS modules and a range of measurement techniques, skills in data processing, presentation and analysis in order to solve a wide range of environmental problems.
