About Geospatial Engineering, PhD - at Newcastle University
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 industry
- local authorities
- engineering and surveying companies
We 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 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.
