About the course

Course content

Advanced themes and methods within the field of Geomatics will be presented, discussed and applied. Focus will be on subjects related to current research and new developments within the field. The students are expected to critically read and review scientific publications, and actively contribute to the subjects presented in the course. The students are also expected to contribute to presentations and discussions in colloquia. The content will, to some extent, be adopted to current issues and research within Geomatics at NTNU.

The student need to choose two specialization modules: Relevant modules: Geographic information science (Geomatics), GPS (Geomatics), 3D modelling (Geomatics). One module from Computing Science may be included. Research methodology will be central in the modules.

Learning outcome

The course aims to be adapted to the present research activities at the division of geomatics and the specified course choice of the student. The course also aims to strengthen the theoretical platform.
