Students around the globe are canvassed on their views on their studies in geomatics and GNSS. The common thread that run through their views include the major challenges of costs of equipment and software, distinctions between geomatics education, training and research, multi-disciplinarity and commerce versus geomatic research [more]

Signal design criteria and parametric analysis
F Zanier, M Crisci, M Luise
Current GNSSs are based on signals lying within the L-band of the radio-navigation satellite service (RNSS) spectrum. Since the need for more systems and signals is emerging, new alternative frequency resources are needed. In particular, the C-band frequency portion is envisioned as an option[more]

Land record information system
Dr Aruna Saxena, Sanjeev Saxena and Akanksha Patil
Land information management system may be designed to serve one primary function or they may be multifunctional for supporting strategic planning. The focus is on determining organizational objectives and on the resources employed to achieve them [more]

Ellipsoidal heights and engineering applications
Muneendra Kumar
As the GPS surveying techniques started showing promise of high accuracy geodetic positioning in the early 1990s, few “open-minded” geodesists realized the possibility of using ellipsoidal heights in place of orthometric heights.Usage of GPS surveyed accurate ellipsoidal heights will be significantly cost effective and time saving for any project [more]
