Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning

MGP's programme contributes to geometric measurement science and aims at the development of models for the use of modern high-precision positioning and remote sensing systems together with their integrity and geometric embedding. A main feature of the programme, also referred to as the 'Delft School', is the special attention given to the linking of mathematical models and the development and operationalisation of geostatistical quality control theory.
