Prerequisites

Basic knowledge in Physics and Mathematics at the level of BAC in science or applied science.

Main themes

Space geodesy for the Earth and the planets with a particular focus on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and their applications in geophysics.

Aims

To be able to present geodetic techniques (especially those that use GPS or equivalent) that allow to observe the main mechanisms governing the deformation of the solid Earth at the local, regional or global scales, including rotation Earth. To be able to apply the concepts of space geodesy to the knowledge of the Earth and terrestrial planets in the solar system
