Physical Geodesy

"Physical Geodesy" by Heiskanen and Moritz, published in 1967, has for a long time been considered as the standard introduction to its field. The enormous progress since then has required a complete reworking. While basic material has been retained other parts required a complete update. This concerns, above all, the adaptation to the fact that the geometry can now be precisely determined by methods such as GPS, and that new satellite methods, combined with terrestrial methods, also make a detailed determination of the earth's gravitational field a possibility and a necessity. Other highlights of the book include include: emphasis on global integration of geometry and gravity, a simplified approach to Molodensky's theory without integral equations, and a general combination of all geodetic data by least-squares collocation. In the second edition minor mistakes have been corrected.

Based on "Heiskanen/Moritz" which served for more than 30 years as a standard reference Physical geodesy treated encyclopedically Seamless welding of new ideas and methods (GPS, satellites, collocation)
