Satellite Geodesy

This book aims to incorporate satellite geodetic applications to hydrology glaciology solid Earth deformation oceanography and atmosphere. It covers satellite geodetic techniques to monitor and understand regional or global hydrological processes glacial and permafrost changes and sea level changes in response to climate change. It also introduces influential scientific missions for future satellite-based Earth observation systems. For students this book serves as a foundational resource offering a clear and structured introduction to the principles and techniques of satellite geodesy. It covers essential topics such as satellite orbits data acquisition data processing and geodetic datum determination providing a solid understanding of the theoretical framework underpinning satellite geodesy.Researchers will find this book valuable for its in-depth exploration of advanced topics and recent developments in satellite geodesy. It discusses emerging technologies such as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) interferometry and satellite gravimetry highlighting their applications in geodetic research and Earth monitoring.
