Journal of Geodesy

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Geodesy is an international journal concerned with the study of scientific problems of geodesy and related interdisciplinary sciences.

Peer-reviewed papers are published on theoretical or modeling studies, and on results of experiments and interpretations.

Besides original research papers, the journal includes commissioned review papers on topical subjects and special issues arising from chosen scientific symposia or workshops.

The journal covers the whole range of geodetic science and reports on theoretical and applied studies in research areas such as: -Positioning -Reference frame -Geodetic networks -Modeling and quality control -Space geodesy -Remote sensing -Gravity fields -Geodynamics
