Relativistic Geodesy Foundations and Applications

Relativistic Geodesy Foundations and Applications / edited by Dirk Puetzfeld, Claus Lämmerzahl.

Due to steadily improving experimental accuracy, relativistic concepts – based on Einstein’s theory of Special and General Relativity – are playing an increasingly important role in modern geodesy. This book offers an introduction to the emerging field of relativistic geodesy, and covers topics rang...
