An Introduction to GNSS Geodesy and Applications

Clement A. Ogaja (born 1972) at the time of writing this book had worked in various roles as a professor, researcher and geodesist in the United States, Australia, and Kenya. He earned a B.Sc. in Surveying from the University of Nairobi in 1997 and a Ph.D. in Geomatics Engineering from UNSW Sydney, Australia, in 2002. In addition to his five books, A Framework in Support of Structural Monitoring by Real Time Kinematic GPS and Multisensor Data (PhD thesis, UNSW Sydney), Geomatics Engineering: A Practical Guide to Project Design (CRC Press), Applied GPS for Engineers and Project Managers (ASCE Press), Introduction to GNSS Geodesy: Foundations of Precise Positioning Using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (Springer), and Project Design for Geomatics Engineers and Surveyors (CRC Press), he is also the author and co-author of several research papers published in international scientific journals and conference proceedings. His extensive experiences in education, research and private industry include having worked for Geoscience Australia, California State University, Topcon Positioning Systems, NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and as a land surveyor with Aerophoto Systems Engineering Company in Kenya.Clement A.
