Ocean mapping requires precise positioning and navigation. For this we need to precisely know Earth's shape, gravity field, and orientation in space. Data used for this purpose include satellite-based positioning, gravity measurements, and ground surveys. Reference frames can then be created allowing the integration of geometric observations for the creation of mapping products.
Prerequisite(s): (MATH 426 or MATH 426H) and (PHYS 407 or PHYS 407S or PHYS 407H or PHYS 401)
