We are pleased to announce the publication of a new book titled "Definition and Realization of Height Systems in Terrestrial and Planetary Science Applications" by Prof. Robert TENZER, Associate Professor from the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and Dr. Wei CHEN at Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, China. This book has been published by Science Press.
This comprehensive work offers an in-depth overview of the theory of heights, covering following topics:
- Coordinate Systems and Transformations
- Gravity Field Quantities
- Theory of Heights
- Geoid-to-Quasigeoid Separation
- Height Systems in Planetary Geodesy
- Molodensky’s Concept in Planetary Geodesy
- Terrestrial and Planetary Gravity Maps
The book serves scientists and professionals working in the physical geodesy field, particularly focusing on the theoretical definition and practical realization of geodetic vertical datums as well as the vertical datum unification. It also provides useful reading material for university teachers and students in the broader areas of gravimetric geodesy and geophysics.
