About the profile

The M.Sc. profile “Geodetic Earth System Science and Data Analysis” in the University of Bonn's Geodetic Engineering program focuses on how advanced satellite- and space-geodetic observation techniques, in combination with innovative data processing and modeling approaches, provide us with adequate information to make appropriate decisions based on empirical results and their interpretation.

The profile offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with other geoscientific disciplines in Bonn and neighboring institutions on monitoring and understanding changes in the terrestrial, atmospheric and oceanic environment through analyzing and interpreting data recorded from satellite sensors and global observation networks.
