Description

  • Type

    Postgraduate

Profile Ranked 2nd in the UK by Research Fortnight, our geomatics research is ground breaking. We publish in leading international journals, at conferences, in the media and through educational outreach programmes. Whether focusing on geodesy or geospatial engineering, you will work with experts to produce research of an international standard. The School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences enjoys an international reputation for using the latest science to solve problems of global importance. Our research has significant relevance in non-academic settings and we regularly apply it through consultancy to industry, from the global offshore industry to local authorities and survey and engineering companies. We are a key part of the TSB Satellite Applications Catapult North East Centre of Excellence. For geomatics we have MPhil and PhD supervision in the following areas: Satellite geodesy GPS and geophysical modelling GPS/GNSS geodesy precise orbit determination of altimetric and geodetic satellites sea level ice sheet mass balance satellite altimetry static and temporal gravity field and reference frame analyses from dedicated satellite missions SAR interferometry geophysical and industrial deformation monitoring geodynamics and geohazards integration of GPS and INS engineering geodesy Examples of key staff in this area include: Professor Peter Clarke, Professor of Geophysical Geodesy Dr Stuart Edwards, Senior Lecturer in Geomatics Professor Matt King, Visiting Professor in Geodesy Professor Philip Moore, Professor of Space Geodesy Dr Nigel Penna, Senior Lecturer in Geomatics Geospatial Engineering geoinformatics and advanced GIS geospatial algorithm development spatial modelling including network modelling, cellular automata and agent based approaches to spatial complexity multimedia cartography and information delivery temporal GIS geospatial data management airborne and satellite remote sensing applied to environmental impact assessment...

The academic information is in the programme profile and you will be supported by our Postgraduate Researcher Development Programme, doctoral training centres and Research Student Support Team.

Researcher Development Programme

Our Science, Agriculture and Engineering Postgraduate Researcher Development Programme aims to help you develop the skills and experience that the UK Research Councils expect you to have, or to develop, during your research degree.

Our programme will help you to:

  • complete a training needs analysis, so that you know what your current skills are and where you need help and development
  • use your training needs analysis to create your personal development plan
  • identify appropriate workshops or other events that will help you most and best address your development needs
  • gain the personal and professional key skills development for the successful completion of your research degree
Postgraduate Research Student Support

Our award winning Research Student Support Team is dedicated to providing you with information, support and advice throughout your research degree studies. The team can help and advise you on a variety of issues from registration to producing your transcripts.
