The School of Engineering enjoys an international reputation for using the latest science to solve problems of global importance. Our research has significant relevance in non-academic settings and we regularly apply it through consultancy to industry, from the global offshore industry to local authorities and survey and engineering companies. We are a key part of the TSB Satellite Applications Catapult North East Centre of Excellence. For geomatics we have MPhil and PhD supervision in the following areas: Satellite geodesy GPS and geophysical modelling GPS/GNSS geodesy precise orbit determination of altimetric and geodetic satellites sea level ice sheet mass balance satellite altimetry static and temporal gravity field and reference frame analyses from dedicated satellite missions SAR interferometry
