FAG5128 Advanced Topics in Geodesy 15.0 credits

The course deals with the latest developments in geodetic research, and it is closely tied to the topic of the thesis for the student. The purpose of the course is provide the student with an extra opportunity to review research work within the thesis subject area and to identify spefic problems or topics for further studies. The research area of the course is defined by the course responsible teacher in cooperation with the supervisor to make sure the topic of the course is linked to the Ph.D. thesis.

To complete the course the student must perform a litterature review of selected journal papers, relate the theory studied to a scientific problem, define and implement a solution. The solution must be implemented and demonstrated in a computer program (e.g. Matlab) using simulated and perhaps real data.

After the course the student should be able to:

• Understand some of the latest developments in geodetic research
• Find relevant scientific papers and relate solutions given in the papers to a practical problem
• Convert the theoretical solution to a practical solution which can be implemented in a software
• Demonstrate the applicability of the solution.

- supplemented with recent journal papers selected by the theacher to match the specific topic to be studied.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• PRO1 - Project, 15.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
