SATELLITE MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES

During the course student gets a theoretical knowledge permitting to understanding relations between global (ITRS), regional (ETRS89) and national terrestrial reference frames and to do in practice the transformations between above frames. Student is also able to use GNSS technology for establishing of geodetic network and geodetic surveying.

Global, regional and local geodetic reference frame realization using satellite measurement techniques. Global Positioning System (GPS) and other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in geodesy. GNSS satellite networks realizations and data processing methods. Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) and Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) . ASG-EUPOS – polish realization of GBAS and SBAS.

During the lectures the students will learn the basic theory of the monitoring of the Earth by the usage of Radar and GNSS signals emitted by dedicated satellite system. The areas of application of the receive data are d Land Use detections,  surface deformation monitoring caused by hazards like subsidence, landslides, earthquakes, tectonics, etc.

The course will be focussed on the application of the Radar  remote sensing technology based on the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and GNSS data in different domains of Earth's monitoring. SAR images and GNSS stations will be used to categorize the land coverage and to detect it's changes in time due to agriculture activities or floodings. The Interferometric SAR technique (InSAR) will be used to produce Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Classical Differential InSAR (DInSAR) and advanced techniques like Permanent Scatterers (PSInSAR) and offset tracking will be used to determine the range and scale of land surface deformations caused by different natural and anthropogenic hazards. The deformation studies will be supported by GNSS observations from permanent stations located in deformation zones.
