You’ll work with experts to produce research of an international standard. There are a variety of topics to specialise in. Topics may include geodesy, surveying, GIS or photogrammetry or remote sensing.The Geospatial Engineering MPhil and PhD at Newcastle University aims to foster, promote and conduct research of international quality. We attract high-quality graduates and researchers and train them to international standards. Our research has significant relevance in non-academic settings. We often apply it through consultancy to industry. This includes: the global offshore industrylocal authoritiesengineering and surveying companiesWe are a key part of the TSB Satellite Applications Catapult North East Centre of Excellence.Examples of MPhil and PhD supervision in our research areas include:Satellite geodesy:GPS and geophysical modellingGPS/GNSS geodesyprecise orbit determination of altimetric and geodetic satellitessea levelice sheet mass balancesatellite altimetrystatic and temporal gravity field and reference frame analyses from dedicated satellite missionsSAR interferometrygeophysical and industrial deformation monitoringgeodynamics and geohazardsintegration of GPS and INSengineering geodesyGeospatial Engineering:geoinformatics and advanced GISgeospatial algorithm developmentspatial modelling including network modelling, cellular automata and agent based approaches to spatial complexitymultimedia cartography and information deliverytemporal GISgeospatial data managementairborne and satellite remote sensing applied to environmental impact assessmentland use, vegetation and pollution monitoringEarth observation of urban systemsphotogrammetrylaser scanningprecise non-contact dimensional control
