The programme in Earth Sciences covers surveying, geodesy, remote sensing and geoinformatics engineering. Research topics include: GNSS positioning and remote sensing, interferometric SAR imagery, high-resolution monitoring of structural deformations, gravity field studies, big-data acquisition sensors and modelling processes, high-definition mapping for autonomous vehicles, computer vision. We are co-operating with other fields to create multidisciplinary applications: culture heritage protection, military, transportation, medicine, hydrology, geosciences, geology and space industry. Research is supported by specialised experimental infrastructure, including GNSS stations, unmanned aerial photogrammetric system, high-precision surveying systems, laser scanners, specialised CAD, BIM, GIS and computational software.Note that our Faculty offers two PhD programmes - in Civil Engineering and in Earth Sciences - in continuation of the three master programs. By choosing the research topic in your application, you are implicitly selecting the respective PhD programme.
