Geospatial Engineering MPhil

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.<br/><br/>Our research has significant relevance in non-academic settings. We often apply it through consultancy to industry. This includes:<br/><br/><br/>- the global offshore industry<br/><br/><br/>- local authorities<br/><br/><br/>- engineering and surveying companies.<br/><br/><br/>We are a key part of the TSB Satellite Applications Catapult North East Centre of Excellence. <br/><br/>Examples of MPhil and PhD supervision in our research areas include:<br/><br/>**Satellite geodesy**<br/>GPS and geophysical modelling<br/>GPS/GNSS geodesy<br/>precise orbit determination of altimetric and geodetic satellites<br/>sea level<br/>ice sheet mass balance<br/>satellite altimetry<br/>static and temporal gravity field and reference frame analyses from dedicated satellite missions<br/>SAR interferometry<br/>geophysical and industrial deformation monitoring<br/>geodynamics and geohazards<br/>integration of GPS and INS<br/>engineering geodesy<br/><br/>**Geospatial Engineering**<br/>geoinformatics and advanced GIS<br/>geospatial algorithm development<br/>spatial modelling including network modelling, cellular automata and agent based approaches to spatial complexity<br/>multimedia cartography and information delivery<br/>temporal GIS<br/>geospatial data management<br/>airborne and satellite remote sensing applied to environmental impact assessment<br/>land use, vegetation and pollution monitoring<br/>Earth observation of urban systems<br/>photogrammetry<br/>laser scanning<br/>precise non-contact dimensional control.
